Check out this week’s Review Fix Professional Wrestling Power Rankings to see who’s ready for Extreme Rules and Slammiversary.
Honorable Mention: LAX: With the Impact and Global Force Wrestling titles around their waists, Santana and Ortiz have quickly become a dominant duo. With Konnan, Diamante and Homicide by their side, they could hold on to those titles for a long time.
5: Pete Dunne: The reigning, defending United Kingdom Champion is easily one of the most dominant forces in all of independent wresting. His involvement in NXT helps the brand big time.
4: Neville: The King of the Cruiserweights will have his biggest challenge to date at Extreme Rules. Can he escape Aries Last Chancery?
3: Dolph Ziggler: His win over AJ Styles this week on Smackdown Live has quickly made Ziggler a force again.
2: The Bullet Club: With the addition of Marty Scurll, The Bullet Club in Ring of Honor is perhaps more villainous than ever. With the TV and Tag Team Championships around their waists, they are again in the driver’s seat. With Hangman Page set on taking Adam Cole out, things are more than interesting.
1: Samoa Joe: He’s an opportunist, but he’s got momentum on his side and even a bit of luck. Can it be enough to win a shot at the Universal Title after Backlash?
