Check out this week’s WWE Power Rankings to see who starred in an important episode of RAW that continues the setup for Summerslam.
Honorable Mention: Nia Jax: Her squash on Emma this week makes it even more obvious that she deserves a shot at the WWE RAW Women’s Championship.
5: Colin Cassady: His beatdown on Enzo Amore and the Big Show improves his street credibility massively. Bottom line, he’s got to be in the hunt for the Intercontinental Title at some point this Fall if this keeps up.
4: Bayley: Her win over Sasha Banks gets her a title shot against Alexa Bliss at Summerslam.
3: Bray Wyatt: Just when you thought Wyatt was getting stale, he picks a fight with someone in desperate need of one. This could get good.
2: Ariya Daivari: Holy crap did he make a statement taking out Neville and Akira Tozawa this week on RAW.
1: The WWE Universal Title: While the belt hasn’t been booked properly and the thought of a Fatal Four-Way match is proof of that, the thought of having Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar in the ring at the same time is pretty damn cool.
