25

Rank

The New Age Outlaws

Oh, you didn’t know? The New Age Outlaws reunited on “Old School” Raw and beat up on Primo & Epico.

24

Rank

Chris Jericho

In-ring inaction bumps The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla down a spot on the rankings.

23

Rank

Tamina Snuka

A non-title win over Divas Champion Kaitlyn on SmackDown brings Tamina Snuka back on the list this week.

22

Rank

Layla

A “WWE Superstars” victory over Tamina allows Layla to leapfrog her foe and take the 22-spot on the rankings.

21

Rank

Sin Cara

A non-title victory over U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro solidifies a big week for the high-flying Superstar.

20

Rank

Damien Sandow

A Team Rhodes Scholars win on “WWE Superstars” ensures the erudite Sandow a spot in the top 20.

19

Rank

Wade Barrett

The Intercontinental Champion falls one slot after suffering back-to-back losses this week.

18

Rank

Cody Rhodes

A pair of victories for Cody Rhodes moves the mustachioed one up three places on the rankings.

17

Rank

Dolph Ziggler

Mr. Money in the Bank had a rough week, suffering losses on Raw and SmackDown.

16

Rank

The Shield

The three-man reign of terror continued this week as The Shield once again made their presence felt with devastating attacks.

15

Rank

The Miz

With Ric Flair by his side, The Miz picked up an impressive win over Dolph Ziggler Monday on “Old School” Raw.

14

Rank

Tensai & Brodus Clay

A Raw win over the always obnoxious 3MB allows Tensai & Brodus to boogie on up to the 14-spot on the rankings.

13

Rank

Antonio Cesaro

A pair of non-title losses knocks the United States Champion down a peg this week.

12

Rank

Kaitlyn

The Divas Champion lost a non-title bout to Tamina on SmackDown, and so she falls one spot on the big list.

11

Rank

Mark Henry

The World’s Strongest Man sits at the precipice of the top 10 this week after decimating both Zack Ryder on Raw and Justin Gabriel on SmackDown.

10

Rank

Randy Orton

WWE’s Apex Predator whiffed on his chance for a WrestleMania rematch against The Undertaker, but Orton rebounded with a big win against Wade Barrett on WWE Main Event.

9

Rank

Team Hell No

Kane & Daniel Bryan appear to be on the same page again after the hotheaded duo defeated The Prime Time Players and 3MB on Raw and SmackDown, respectively.

8

Rank

Jack Swagger

It’s debatable whether Jack Swagger’s attack on three WWE legends during “Old School” Raw is a behavior befitting a “Real American.” Swagger’s controversial tactics, however, are working well.

7

Rank

Big Show

The World’s Largest Athlete has apparently drawn the attention of The Shield. How the 7-foot Superstar responds when the upstart trio strikes next will be telling.

6

Rank

Ryback

Ryback once again ran roughshod over the competition this week, accruing victories against United States Champion Antonio Cesaro on Raw and Damien Sandow on SmackDown.

5

Rank

Sheamus

By virtue of his loss in the Fatal 4-Way Match on Raw, Sheamus will need to wait to a bit longer to earn his first sanctioned match against The Undertaker. That’s probably fine with The Celtic Warrior, who needs to focus his energies on attempting to keep The Shield at bay.

4

Rank

John Cena

John Cena showed a lot of heart in his “point-counterpoint” confrontation with The Rock on Raw. But the Cenation leader’s inability to silence the WWE Champion with words should make the Superstar from West Newbury, Mass., rethink his preparations for going one-on-one with The Great One.

3

Rank

CM Punk

CM Punk now has one heck of an opportunity to prove his credentials as the “Best in the World” on The Grandest Stage of Them All. The Straight Edge Superstar will vie to become the first Superstar to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania, a lofty task that’s easier said than done for anyone, even a former WWE Champion who can boast the longest title

2

Rank

Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio ruled the ring this week, netting impressive wins against Wade Barrett on Raw and Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown. The reigning World Heavyweight Champion also showed up Jack Swagger on the blue brand with a pitch-perfect parody of the “Real American’s” recent rants. Can anyone stop Del Rio?
 1

Rank

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

The Rock reminded John Cena what can happen when a Superstar goes head-to-head against The People’s Champion in a bout of verbal sparring. Their “point-counterpoint” during Raw did not leave either party with the final word on their rivalry, but it did leave the reigning WWE Champion with enough momentum for another round against the
