Don’t let the wacky card, which, at times, felt like it was Teddy Long fool you, this was an important week of in-ring action for WWE RAW.
Check out our WWE RAW Power Rankings to see who made the most of a lukewarm episode of RAW before Clash of Champions.
Honorable Mention: Bo Dallas: Much like Braun Strowman, Dallas had proven he can beat jobbers. It’s time for a real feud.
5: Charlotte Flair: After plenty of interference from her protege Dana Brooke, Flair was able to get the win in their tag match against Sasha Banks and Bayley this week on RAW. With some much-need confidence back, does Flair have what it takes to beat both Bayley and Banks at Clash of Champions?
4: Cesaro: His win this week on RAW sets the scene for a match seven in what has been a mildly-disappointing best-of-seven series. Simply put, The Swiss Superman and Sheamus need a wonderful last match to make sure this series is remembered as something special.
3: Brian Kendrick: His win this week on RAW gives him a shot at TJ Perkins, the WWE Cruiserweight Champion.
2: Seth Rollins: Don’t let his Double-Count-Out performance against United States Champion Rusev this week fool you. Rollins to ready to take on WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens at Night of Champions. Relatively fresh compared to Owens as well, who had to take on Roman Reigns in a steel cage match on RAW this week, Rollins has plenty of momentum on his side.
1:Kevin Owens: Even in defeat, Owens got the last laugh as he and Rusev beat on a defenseless Roman Reigns to end this week’s RAW.
