Despite falling short when it comes to the stats, The Wyatt family clearly is the hottest commodity at the promotion now. The mix of unorthodox style and creepy in ring psychology keeps them relevant and in the top five despite taking defeats.
4- CM Punk (Previous Rank- 2)
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Punk’s loss to Roman Reigns might’ve been overshadowed by the return of Jake Roberts but this didn’t stop him from picking up another loss at Smack Down.
A week of losses to the hounds of justice drops Punk down into 4th in the rankings.
3- John Cena (Previous Rank-3)
Cena had a verbal battle with Randy Orton at Old School Raw with the nature boy Ric Flair on his side. The buildup to the Royal Rumble was aided by Flair and developed better heat which in turn made Cena look like a stand out performer.
2- The Shield (Previous Rank-8)
Biggest movers of the week, The Hounds of Justice had a great week this time around as Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk on Raw while the trio got a Smack Down wins as well.
Involvement with legends like Roddy Piper and Jake Roberts only aided the faction and Shield makes a huge leap into the second position in the rankings.
1- Randy Orton (Previous Rank- 1)
After a heated confrontation with John Cena, Orton went to Smack Down to kill the momentum of Big E Langston.
The Champion carries a lot of momentum after beating the red hot Langston and looks set to face Cena at Rumble. Orton hangs on to his first rank for another week as no one was good enough to dethrone him this around also.
