WWE Monday Night RAW: 13th January, 2013 - Superstar Ratings

Randy Orton- 4.5

Randy Orton

Last week we saw Orton defeat Big E Langston at SmackDown and thought that he is finally proving that he is worth being the unified champion. And this week on Raw, he loses to Kofi Kingston. Simple as that, the top champion and face of the top promotion of the world loses to a guy who is yet to have a clear push.

The loss can only be seen as the attempt of the creative to put some heat into the stale Cena-Orton storyline because there is no other logical explanation for what went down.

Orton was made to look like a fool with the defeat and hopefully he picks up before Royal Rumble.

Rybaxel- 4.5

Rybaxel

Ryback, Curtis Axel, Damien Sandow and Dolph Ziggler fall into the category of wrestlers who has the potential to be break out stars but are held back by the creative who decides to go the other way.

Ryback after his rants in Twitter seems to be buried the victim of a burial every week and he seems to be taking Axel with him. The loss to Rhodes brothers might not sound so bad on paper but taking the direction of the duo into consideration, there aren’t many things that could go in a positive way for them at the moment.

Rey Mysterio- 5

Rey Mysterio

From his ECW days itself, Rey Mysterio is known for the ultimate underdog acts that he pulls out. And yet the WWE decided to make his return without any credible backup story.

Mysterio seems to be an independent wrestler being booked randomly for matches at the moment. For a wrestler like him who won the Royal Rumble and went on to headline WrestleMania with his size, he clearly deserves better things.

The match against Del Rio showcased Mysterio in his usual flashy style but the lose did nothing to help the highflyer.
