A Chicago RAW that featured plenty of CM Punk chants, the WWE’s flagship show began with a bang, but ended with little fanfare and along the way some slim, midgets and disastrous Divas matches.
Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who left a wacky episode of RAW with the most to be proud of.
Honorable Mention: Antonio Cesaro: He keeps getting screwed out of opportunities with the Intercontinental title, but don’t let his recent bout of bad luck fool you. One of the most talented performers on the WWE roster, Cesaro is a future WWE World Heavyweight Champion in training. Make no mistake, these are the matches that will play a pivotal role in his development and help forge him of a superstar of the future.
5: Dolph Ziggler: With the Intercontinental title around his waist, Ziggler has rebounded from a spotty 2014 that had him in meaningless feuds, waisting his one-of-a-kind ability in the ring. While a feud with The Miz isn’t much better, his new rival, Cesaro, can bring out the best in him and in turn, both of them can solidify the middle of the card.
4: The Big Show: His feud with Rusev has reignited his spark for business. Although a shell of what he used to be in terms of athletic ability, his natural charisma alone is enough for him to entertain.
3: Seth Rollins: He continues to do a solid job as the guy you want to see get his arse kicked. At the same time however, his weaknesses are the mic continue to be a problem and he needs to be in the ring more- that’s where he shines the brightest.
2: Dean Ambrose: While he’s not at the same level as CM Punk or Daniel Bryan, Ambrose has found a way to be that rebellious underdog you love. His antics this week were solid as well, as he found a way to make a few moments on what turned out to be an average RAW feel like something better. At the same time, the payoff will eventually be the match between him and Seth Rollins. That’s where he needs to bring his A game.
1: John Cena: This feud with Rollins has side-tracked Cena a ton, but he’s still the most important star in the WWE Universe.
