WWE RAW Power Rankings: Owens and Cena Ready to Fight

Don’t let the beefy card fool you. This week’s RAW was a mess that just barely teased the Elimination Chamber PPV. If not for the antics of Kevin Owens, there wasn’t much to chat about.

Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who starred in the last RAW before the Elimination Chamber.

Honorable Mention: Rusev: Without Lana, Rusev has proven he’s proven he’s still more than a force, which has allowed Lana to find a new man in Dolph Ziggler. The resulting feud between the two will not only bolster the mid-card, but will make a star out of Lana and keep Rusev pertinent for a few more weeks.

5: The New Day: These guys may have gotten destroyed this week on RAW, but you have to like their chances at Elimination Chamber, especially if Xavier Woods is able to be at ringside.

4: Kevin Owens: For the second consecutive week, Owens has been the coolest thing on RAW. Taking out Cena again with the Pop-Up Powerbomb, Owens has proven he’s more than a cult favorite.

3: John Cena: He’s pissed and that’s when Cena is at his best. Calling out Owens for their bout at Elimination Chamber, Cena cut some solid promo before he took on Zack Ryder and successfully defended his United States Championship. Although he’ll have his work cut out for him on Sunday, chances are he’ll keep the US title around his waist.

2: Dean Ambrose: He’s going to get his title shot at Elimination Chamber this weekend, but it remains to be seen if he has what it takes to be a WWE Champion. Don’t let a win in a tag team match fool you. Although he’s loved by the WWE Universe, he may not be ready to be the face of the company. What may be more intriguing is his continued relationship with Roman Reigns.

1: Seth Rollins: Don’t let his loss to Dean Ambrose this week on RAW sour you on Rollins. At this point, the only guy that can beat Rollins is Brock Lesnar and with him currently on hiatus, expect Rollins’ title reign to continue at least through Summerslam.
