Check out this week’s TNA Impact Wrestling Power Rankings to see who advanced in the Impact Wrestling Grand Champion Tournament and more.
Honorable Mention: Braxton Sutter: With a dominant win over Rockstar Spud, Sutter makes his case for bigger and better things in the X Division.
5: Aron Rex: His win over Trevor Lee was anything but special. Rex needs to step it up if he’s going to be more than a high-end mid-carder. With plenty of potential in the ring and on the mic, he definitely has what it takes to win the Impact Wrestling Grand Championship, we just haven’t seen his best yet.
4: Gail Kim: Her win this week in the Knockouts Gauntlet guarantees her a shot at Maria Kanellis-Bennett and the Knockout Championship. Already a Hall of Famer, Kim can add some more hardware to her resume.
3: Moose: He wants a piece of Bobby Lashley, but is he ready yet?
2: The Hardy Boys: Their vignettes are hilariously bad, but in the best way possible. Reinvigorating their careers and doing it as a tag team, The Hardys, along with Reby Sky, their drone and lawn care specialist, are ready to take the TNA Tag Team Titles from Decay.
1: Bobby Lashley: The most dominant champion in TNA history isn’t stupid. He knows Moose is no slouch. His ability on the mic has gotten so much better over the last few months that he doesn’t have to get it all done in the ring. Simply put, this guy would have a war with someone like Brock Lesnar. TNA needs to bring the best and brightest his way.
