Sin Cara
The International Sensation returns to the Power Rankings after recovering from a tough loss to Mark Henry on Raw by defeating Heath Slater on “WWE Superstars.”
24
Rank
Layla
Layla holds the line at 24 this week due to in-ring inactivity, but the WWE Universe knows they haven’t heard the last of the British bombshell.
23
Rank

R-Truth
What’s up? How about R-Truth, who returned to the squared circle this week to collect a hard-fought victory against Cody Rhodes on Raw.
22
Rank
Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston bounces back in a big way following the Ghanaian grappler’s victorious effort against David Otunga on “WWE Superstars.”
21
Rank
Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes may be currying the favor of Kaitlyn thanks to his “love ’stache,” but the mustachioed competitor still struggled in losing efforts against R-Truth on Raw and Sheamus on WWE Main Event.

20
Rank

Damien Sandow
Damien Sandow may need someone to save his momentum after The Intellectual Savior of the Masses came up short against Alberto Del Rio on SmackDown.

19
Rank
Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho did not illuminate the WWE Universe with his signature jacket this week, but Y2J did make waves as his new show, “Robot Combat League,” had a successful debut on Syfy.
18
Rank

Wade Barrett
While the reigning Intercontinental Champion may take great pride for his acting debut in “Dead Man Down,” Wade Barrett presumably didn’t want to hear Sheamus’ scathing review on Raw.
17

The Shield
The Shield found themselves caught off-guard on two occasions as Randy Orton and Sheamus got the best of the shadowy Superstars on Raw and SmackDown.
16

The World’s Strongest Man inducted two unwilling Superstars into the “Hall of Pain” this week, crushing The Great Khali on Raw and Justin Gabriel on WWE Main Event.
12

11
Rank

Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn did not get called into competitive duty this week, but that didn’t stop the reigning Divas Champion from focusing her attention on Cody Rhodes and his “love ’stache” during WWE Main Event.
10
Rank

Randy Orton
The Viper slithers back into the top 10 this week after finally getting the best of The Shield Monday on Raw.
9
Rank

Team Hell No
It was a weird week for the WWE Tag Team Champions. Strange stipulations worked both for and against the pair, splitting their matches against The Prime Time Players.
8
Rank

Jack Swagger
The No. 1 contender to the World Title jumps up two spots this week after scoring an impressive win over The Miz Monday night.
7

A No Contest on SmackDown keeps The World’s Largest Athlete holding strong in the No. 6 spot on the rankings.
5
Rank
The WWE Champion holds strong and steady in the top spot on this week’s rankings, as his WrestleMania opponent has finally been revealed. It will be The Great One going one-on-one with the Cenation leader in what will undoubtedly be an historic showdown on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Rank

A WWE Main Event victory over old foe Cody Rhodes elevates Sheamus into the 4-spot this week on the rankings. Add in a little trickery Monday night on Raw that directly led to Seth Rollins eating an RKO from Randy Orton and some not-so-good-natured ribbing at the expense of Wade Barrett (and his acting chops), and The Celtic Warrior had a pretty good 
3
Rank
 
A SmackDown victory over Damien Sandow isn’t enough to keep World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio from slipping a spot this week on the rankings. The Mexican Superstar had a great week and he certainly isn’t to blame for the slight fall — it’s just that our No. 2 Superstar simply had a better week. 
2
Rank

It may have been an unquestioned instant classic match Monday on Raw, but CM Punk failed to emerge victorious against John Cena with the opportunity to face WWE Champion The Rock at WrestleMania on the line. Punk’s lose drops The Straight Edge Superstar down a couple spots, but he remains in the top 2 because of the valiant effort he put

An epic victory over CM Punk on Monday night catapults the Cenation leader into the No. 1 spot this week, as John Cena is headed to a WrestleMania showdown against WWE Champion The Rock with everything on the line! Cena pulled out all the stops to find a way to triumph over Punk finally, leaving only The Great One in his way on his
