A massive card and another Goldberg made sure this week’s RAW had plenty of talking points. Check out this week’s WWE RAW Power Rankings to see who finally cashed in on their potential and who left with the United States title.
Honorable Mention: Brian Kendrick: Even in defeat, Kendrick always has a plan. TJ Perkins may be pissed and be the more dynamic performer, but Kendrick is a master of mind games.
5: Braun Strowman: His win in the RAW Battle Royal gives him a spot on the team for Survivor Series. A huge moment for the behemoth, it’s a moment for him to prove he belongs with the upper mid-card on RAW.
4: Nia Jax: Just like Braun Strowman, Jax took advantage of a huge opportunity this week on RAW. With a win over Bayley Jax has started to prove she’s got the talent to hang with just about anyone in the RAW Women’s Division.
3: Roman Reigns: His win over Chris Jericho and spot on the RAW Survivor Series team cements his increasing credibility on RAW. With a possible rekindling of his friendship with Seth Rollins, Reigns’ stock hasn’t been this high in months.
2: Bill Goldberg: His Jackhammer on Rusev and Spear on Paul Heyman made sure that the fans went home happy and RAW started off with a bang.
1: Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho: They are best friends for a reason. Even in defeat they are a dominant force on the mic and in the ring that’ll be relevant as long as Owens hold on to the WWE Universal Championship.
