WWE RAW Power Rankings: Plan C Initiated

Brock Lesnar is back and he’s ready for a shot at John Cena and the WWE World Heavyweight title.

Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who else made the biggest impact on the road to Summerslam.

Honorable Mention: Paige: Turning on her “best friend” this week, Paige has made a more than solid heel turn after losing the WWE Divas title a few weeks ago. It’s pretty funny ultimately as her future looked cloudy after she dropped the title, but now with another feud with Lee imminent, Paige’s stock has remained steady.

5: Dolph Ziggler: Is this Ziggler’s time to reascend the mid-card ladder? After months of mediocre booking and dealing with injuries, Ziggler’s win over Intercontinental Champion The Miz sets the scene for what could be a damn good Summerslam encounter. Add in Sheamus and possible United States unification and Ziggler’s stock hasn’t been this high in months.

4: Brie Bella: Talk about an impact. After months of pushing Nikki Bella around, Stephanie finally met her match in Brie Bella. After she was slapped in the face by Stephanie McMahon, Brie had her former boss arrested, live on RAW. Although the segment ran a bit too long, it was hilarious and sets up what could be a damn fun angle between the two and eventually Daniel Bryan and Triple H.

3: Xavier Woods: His promo this week on RAW was the most impactful thing he’s done in his WWE career. A talented in-ring performer, his new faction with Big E. Langston and Kofi Kingston could end up saving three promising but under-achieving careers.

2: Roman Reigns: Even in spite of the fact that Randy Orton refused to tag into the match when Kane needed him, Reigns’ win this week on RAW is another notch in his belt. This guy has all of the makings of a future WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He just needs to catch a break.

1: Brock Lesnar: Months after defeating the Undertaker, Lesnar is back and ready to take on John Cena. Things just got very interesting.
