WWE RAW Power Rankings: Survivor Series Ready

November 21, 2014 Patrick Hickey Jr. Professional Wrestling 0

With a new Intercontinental Champion and a host of other developments, this was not only one of the better episodes of RAW in weeks, it was a damn good go-home show before Sunday’s Survivor Series.

Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see what the promotion looks like less than a week before Survivor Series.

Honorable Mention: Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose: Easily a matchup of two future WWE Champions, Wyatt and Ambrose continue to build tension for what will be a fun encounter at Survivor Series. While a win or loss doesn’t particularly hurt any of their current standing, Wyatt needs the win a bit more, especially after coming back from a three-month exodus.

5: Ryback: It’s funny that he’d take on the Swiss-native Cesaro this week after declaring his neutrality this week on RAW. On a monster-sized roll, it’ll be interesting to see where Ryback goes after Survivor Series. If the WWE is smart, they keep him in the ring with Cesaro, who made him look better than anyone else has up until this point.

4: Luke Harper: Although he got some help from Seth Rollins, Harper worked a solid match against Ziggler, who also went out of his way to make him look awesome. One of the most talented big men in the company, Harper has the potential to be a wonderful Intercontinental Champion, doing something his mentor Bray Wyatt hasn’t been able to do yet- win singles gold.

3: Alexander Rusev: Dominant is not the word. Although he’s been fed mostly lower mid-carders, Rusev continues to devour everything and anyone who comes in his way. Now a full-fledged member of The Authority, he has nothing to fear.

2: John Cena: The Authority has done everything they can to destroy him and his team, but if anything, Cena has proven he’s the type of person who can rise above fear tactics. With his team set for Survivor Series, Cena and his boys will give The Authority something they don’t want- a match.

1: Seth Rollins: The best young heel in the business continues to be a bastard and do whatever he can to hurt any legitimate star in the company that doesn’t see things his way. With the support of Triple H, Kane and his security force, he’s not the easiest guy to get to either. With an amazing finisher as well, your chances at success are limited, even if you manage to get a few shots in.
