Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who’s dominating on the road to the Royal Rumble.
Honorable Mention: Cedric Alexander: His win over Enzo Amore this week on RAW continues his surge, but he’s still without the Cruiserweight belt.
Don’t Forget: Nia Jax: Her beatdown on Asuka is a quick way for her to increase her chances at winning the first-ever Women’ Royal Rumble.
5: Titus O’Neil and Apollo Crews: Their surprise win over The Bar moves them up the tag team ranks on RAW. But was it just a fluke?
4: Matt Hardy: His win over Curt Hawkins was expected, but make no mistake, Hardy is moving his way up the card.
3: The Miz: He made a huge impact this week in his return to RAW, taking out Roman Reigns.
2: Braun Strowman: His decimation of Brock Lesnar and Kane this week on RAW definitely went a long way in making the Universal Title scene more interesting.
1: The Balor Club: 2018 will be the year of Finn Balor, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Their win this week over Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan was just the beginning.
