The World Heavyweight Champion made light work of his opponent as he picked up yet another submission victory, this time, over Kofi Kingston. Surprising that Kingston hardly put up a fight during the entire process. Anyways, Del Rio remains a force to reckon with and occupies the fifth place.
4) Randy Orton
Meet John Cena's dad HERE
Orton has gotten cocky ever since he won the MITB and his attitude reflects in his form, as he has been picking up a string impressive wins. This week on RAW, he faced fellow MITB winner Damien Sandow. Despite both superstars dominating at various points, Orton won the match with an RKO after Sandow was distracted by Rhodes.
3) Daniel Bryan
In a pretty competitive opening match, Daniel Bryan faced former SummerSlam opponent Wade Barrett. The match swung wither ways as Bryan and Barrett gave it their all. With the crowd completely backing Daniel Bryan, the former was about to execute his array of kicks, when a fast pin and a quick count cost him the match. Despite some unfair officiating, Bryan put up a class act yet again.
2) Mark Henry
When you are the heaviest participant in a battle royal, the level of disadvantage you face gradually rises, with every superstar teaming up to eliminate the major threat, ie You!!. Mark Henry survived the odds and made it to the last two in the #1 contender battle royal for the U.S title. However, RVD tactfully eliminated Henry for the title shot. Henry, however seemed courteous enough to acknowledge RVD’s win and won over the fans with the performance and the gesture.
1) Rob Van Dam
Bagging the first spot, for the second week in a row, we have Rob Van Dam. RVD not only won the battle royal on RAW, but also showed to the world what the WWE has been missing in quite some time. He tactfully won the event, eliminating Mark Henry last. By virtue of yet another amazing win, he now gets a U.S title shot and #1 spot on Sportskeeda’s RAW Power Rankings. As they say, ‘you still got it’ RVD, ‘You still do’.
