Void of surprises, this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW did little to bolster the promotion’s biggest event, but that’s not to say it was a terrible show either.
Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who road into the last turn on the road to Wrestlemania with the perfect amount of momentum.
Honorable Mention: Bray Wyatt: He’s ready and all the talking he’s done has made up for the fact that The Undertaker couldn’t appear once on RAW to further the feud. One of the top young talents in the industry, expect Wyatt to have the match of his life at Mania.
Ladies Night: Nikki Bella: In quite possibly the best match of her career on this week’s RAW, Bella held her own against a much more polished Paige. The classic heel, the charismatic hottie has proven she can do a lot more than shake her hips.
5: Alexander Rusev: Absolutely destroying John Cena just six days before Wrestlemania on RAW this week, Rusev continues to prove he’s a future challenger for WWE World Heavyweight title.
4: Randy Orton: In an almost perfect tease for their Wrestlemania encounter, Orton was unable to get his hands on Seth Rollins, but ultimately got the win over Jamie Noble with the RKO. In one of the most important feuds in his career, Orton may not end up victorious in this one, especially considering all the allies in Rollins’ corner, but he’s found a way to be important again. For now, that’s enough.
3: Sting: If you saw Sting last year in TNA, he looked like he was on his last leg in the ring. In the WWE however, Sting looks better than he’s looked in years and is primed for a big time encounter with Triple H at Wrestlemania. While it’s not the match fans really want to see, seeing Sting in a WWE ring for a Wrestlemania is worth the price of admission alone.
2: Roman Reigns: He’s beaten Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry leading up to his bout with Lesnar and talked a ton. Can he back it up? Essentially shoved down the throat of the WWE Universe, if Reigns doesn’t win the WWE World Heavyweight title at Wrestlemania, the hard of guys like Bryan and countless other more talented performers he’s beaten over the last few months was all in vain.
1: Brock Lesnar: The reigning and defending WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Lesnar is still the most dominant champion in WWE history and regardless of Reigns’ surge of popularity, he’s the man to beat at Wrestlemania.
