Review Fix Pro Wrestling Power Rankings: Lashley is the Man


With Bound for Glory, Death Before Dishonor, Summerslam and NXT Takeover Brooklyn all right around the corner, this week’s wrestling shows surprisingly failed to deliver the drama needed to get their stars over in time for the big events.

Check out this week’s Review Fix Pro Wrestling Power Rankings to see who else earned headlines in and out of the ring for the WWE, TNA, ROH and NXT.

Honorable Mention: Jay Lethal: After beating Colt Cabana this week on ROH TV this week, Lethal wants Adam Cole. After Cole’s awesome promo work this week, ROH booker Nigel McGuiness had no choice and at Death Before Dishonor Lethal will get his revenge.

Holy Crap: Aron Rex: Known in the WWE as Damien Sandow, Rex will get the same opportunities in TNA that Drew Galloway and Bobby Lushly did, proving that he’s a top tier performer that’s capable of being a singles champion. More than an acquisition that’ll deepen the roster, Sandow is a guy that TNA can build around.

5: Samoa Joe: Mojo Rawley didn’t lay down for him this week, but Joe took care of business and proved he’s more than ready for Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT Takeover Brooklyn.

4: Kota Ibushi/Cedric Alexander: Kudos to these two amazing cruiserweight that had one of the best matches of 2016 on this week’s episode of the WWE Cruiserweight Classic.

3: Dean Ambrose: After a weird interview with Stone Cold this week on the WWE Network, Ambrose continues to prove why he’s the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Dolph Ziggler is going to have his hands full at Summerslam.

2: Seth Rollins: He continues to cut the best promos on RAW and is without a doubt the face that runs the place- the type of heel you want to see get destroyed, but you know there isn’t a man on the roster that can. Although Balor is a wonderful worker, he doesn’t have the polish of Rollins, who forces the crowd to feel every time he’s in the ring or on the mic.

1: Bobby Lashley: The first even King of the Mountain, X-Division and TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Lashley is in a league of his own. The most decorated wrestler in the business right now, with the best MMA record as well, he’s a legend in his own time.
