Check out this week’s Review Fix Pro Wrestling Power Rankings to see who’s making sure the Summer is hot in and out of the ring.
Honorable Mention: Lacey Evans: This week was hers. Her match with Dakota Kai was absolutely one of the best on NXT all year. Make no mistake she had the potential to be a top heel.
5: Drew Gulak: He’s the biggest, most charismatic and dominant performer on the 205 Live roster. Why is he not the Cruiserweight Champion?
4: Daniel Bryan: After a series of blah guess since his return, Bryan finally attacked The Miz, giving millions of fans what they wanted for years.
3: Dolph Ziggler: A clean win over Bobby Roode gives his current run as Intercontinental Champion a bit more credibility.
2: Randy Orton: His return was an awesome one at Extreme Rules, but his intense encore this week on Smackdown adds a whole other element to the United States Title picture.
1: The Kingdom: The raw charisma of Matt Taven, the athleticism and good looks of TK O’Ryan and the coolness of the creep Vinny Marseglia have The Kingdom in a class all their own in ROH. Make no mistake, the Six-Man Division in ROH is deeper and more engaging than. The Tag Team divisions on RAW, Smackdown and Impact.
