Curious about who are the top WWE wrestlers right now? Well, look no further than our latest WWE power rankings. As we take a look at the 10 stars that have stood out the most over the last few weeks on Monday Night Raw, Smackdown, and in NXT.
Without further ado, find out who are the hottest wrestlers on the WWE roster this week.
10. Oba Femi
Oba Femi has been on a tear of late as the NXT Champion. The big man beat not one, but two men last month at Vengeance Day. When he defeated Austin Theory and Grayson Waller in a title defense. But he has also made appearances for TNA Wrestling. He elevated his status further at NXT Roadblock when he took part in a dynamite clash of thumpers and successfully defended his gold against TNA X-Division Champ Moose. He is rock-solid on the mic and is evolving into one of the best big men in the business.
9. LA Knight
LA Knight had been slumping a bit after losing his US title to Shinsuke Nakamura earlier this year. However, he has picked up momentum in recent weeks and put a stamp on his place as one of Smackdown’s top stars when he regained the belt last week. Knight is one of the most entertaining performers on the mic, a solid wrestler, and is once again a champion in WWE.
8. Jade Cargill
Although she has not taken part in a match, Jade Cargill has regained all of the momentum she lost during her months-long hiatus. Her mystery attacker storyline has intrigued WWE fans since November. And it all culminated in a fantastic reveal at Elimination Chamber as she brutally attacked Naomi. She arrived in style and put a whooping on her new rival again on this week’s Smackdown. Cargill is on fire and is must-see TV on the blue brand.
7. Stephanie Vaquer
Stephanie Vaquer was one of the best female wrestlers on the planet over the last couple of years. However, many fans did not know of her since she was not performing her craft in WWE. Well, they do now because she has been great since arriving in NXT late last year.
She took her status to a whole new level at NXT Roadblock when she defeated pal Giulia to become both the NXT Women’s and North American Champion. She is the top female in a great division and that’s why she lands in our latest WWE power rankings.
6. Jacob Fatu
Despite being one of the meanest men on the Smackdown roster, fans can’t help but like Jacob Fatu. He is one of the most believable acts in the promotion and brings electric athleticism for a man of his size. He is a no doubt heel, but the “Fatu” chants continue to grow louder on Friday nights. It is a matter of time before the company turns him and banks boat loads of cash from a baby face “Samoan Werewolf.”
5. Seth Rollins
A case can be made that Seth Rollins has turned into a bitter and whiny character. But he is still one of the best all-around performers in the world. He has elevated his mic skills to new levels in his feud with CM Punk. And their clashes in the ring have been epic. There was no better example of that than their outstanding cage match recently on Monday Night Raw. Rollins is a living legend and performing at a high level.
4. Roman Reigns
It says a lot about Roman Reigns’ talent that he can go from being one of the biggest bad guys in professional wrestling history to, arguably, WWE’s top good guy. He has not been seen since the Royal Rumble. But he returned in emphatic fashion this week by leaving both Seth Rollins and CM Punk laying. The fact that he attacked Punk and was still cheered by fans in New York shows just how insanely over “The OTC” is.
3. Cody Rhodes
Despite being on the wrong end of one of the most shocking turns in WWE history, Cody Rhodes has kept himself strong with just his words. He will not be intimidated by evil John Cena and is waiting for his moment to confront the leader of Cenation when he makes his long-awaited return next week. Cody Rhodes remains one of WWE’s elite stars.
2. CM Punk
Despite being 46 years old, CM Punk is delivering some of the best work of his iconic career. His intense promo two weeks ago as he laid waste to The Rock and John Cena was pure fire. Then he was part of one of the best cage matches in years, against Seth Rollins the following week. “The Second City Saint” is hitting on all cylinders right now.
1. John Cena
While we have not seen John Cena since Elimination Chamber, his impact is still being felt. His stunning heel turn led to a fiery response from Punk and Rhodes in the weeks since. The former “Dr. Of Thuganomics” is expected to return next week to explain his actions to the WWE universe. It will be one of the most anticipated moments in company history. And that is why he tops our latest WWE power rankings.
