Daniel Bryan

5) Christian

‘One more match’ chant originator Christian takes the 5th place. Ever since losing to Del Rio, Christian has failed to find his footing in the WWE. This week he faced old nemesis Randy Orton in an impressive match on RAW. Both superstars gave it their all with some impressive offence. However, Orton edged past Christian with a trademark RKO.

4) Rob Van Dam

Week in week out, RVD continues to impress the WWE universe. He showed to the world once again that he still has plenty left in the tank with an impressive win over Alberto Del Rio. RVD is scheduled to face Del Rio for the World Title at Night of Champions and he is already doing plenty of ground work to inch closer to his first World title reign.

3) Randy Orton

A heel turn was inevitable for Randy Orton and that is what he got. Ever since becoming champion, Randy has found a lot of admirers in the WWE including C.O.O Triple H. He is back to his ‘bad’ self as he notched up a good win over Christian. In what was perhaps the most impressive match of the night, Randy picked up top honours with an RKO to Christian and also ended the show with another RKO on Daniel Bryan.

2) CM Punk

The second city saint climbs up the rankings with an impressive win over Curtis Axel. With Cena gone, Punk is enjoying all the attention he gets. With only retribution in mind, Punk set out to destroy Axel and Heyman. As he picked up the win after hitting the GTS, he was ambushed by Axel and Heyman who hit him multiple times with the chair after the match. All in all, despite getting injured, Punk will get back stronger!

1) Daniel Bryan

Bad luck Brian has had a torrid time in recent weeks. With the WWE management clearly not on his side, Bryan has been overcoming the odds week after week. This week he was placed in a gauntlet match against The Shield. Despite managing to beat Rollins and almost achieving the same with Ambrose, he was taken down by other members of The Shield after they interfered causing a D.Q. For his impressive performance and yet another amazing promo, Daniel Bryan bags top honours this week with the numero uno spot.
