Away from Kevin Owens’ appearance on RAW this week and Dean Ambrose’s thrusting himself into the WWE World Heavyweight title scene, this week’s episode of RAW was mediocre.
Check out this week’s WWE RAW Power Rankings to see who made the most of an episode that’ll remembered more for the exploits of Lana than anything else.
Honorable Mention: Sheamus: His win over Ryback this week on RAW continues to prove he’s ready for another run at the Intercontinental Championship. Although he’s not in the best place as a heel right now- he’s not hated with a passion by fans, he’s got enough momentum to continue to build his current situation into something solid.
All About Lana: Her departure from Rusev’s ranks is an interesting one. It’ll be interesting to see where he goes from here. Does she have a future with Dolph Ziggler?
5: Wade Barrett: His win over Adrian Neville, much like Sheamus, makes him another guy you have to think is in the running for the Intercontinental Championship. With the King of the Ring scepter and robe around him, he’s got what it takes to round out the mid-card and make the IC Title something special again.
4: The Tag Team Division: After weeks of no Lucha Dragons and the disappearance of a few other good teams, the announcement of the Tag Team Elimination Chamber has breathed some light into a division that can be so much better than it is right now.
3: Kevin Owens: Wow. Hearing the “Fight Owens Fight†chants on RAW was awesome. Owens cut his teeth on RAW and was not only solid on the mic, he was dominant as he nailed Cena with his Pop-Up Powerbomb. Ready to make the jump to the WWE, expect to see Owens on RAW again, very soon.
2: Dean Ambrose: He’s proven he’ll go to ridiculous lengths to get a shot at Seth Rollins in the past, so why should that change because Rollins has the WWE World Heavyweight title? A fan favorite and still coming into his own, Ambrose could use this feud to firmly establish himself, even if he doesn’t end up with the belt.
1: Seth Rollins: Still the champion, Rollins, who’s now using The Pedigree as his finisher, is as close to untouchable as you can get right now. While Ambrose may get a few laughs in their current feud, Rollins will get the last one.
