Curious about who the top WWE wrestlers are right now? Well, look no further than our latest WWE power rankings. We look at the 10 stars that have stood out the most over the last few weeks on Monday Night Raw, Smackdown, and NXT with their wrestling, mic skills, and storytelling.
Without further ado, find out who the hottest wrestlers on the WWE roster are following the final edition of WWE Raw before WrestleMania 41
Rey Renix
With Penta already having made his debut months before him, his brother Rey Fenix had a tough act to follow. Especially as a fellow luchador with an exciting wrestling style. However, the former AEW tag champion has been outstanding in his first two matches. WWE was smart to place him in matches against Nathan Frazier and Berto. Both have styles that blend perfectly with Fenix. While he doesn’t have as cool a look as his brother, Fenix has shown in the ring why his sibling believes he is the best wrestler in the world.
John Cena
John Cena seems to be enjoying the chance to dig his teeth into a very different version of the character we have known for the last 20 years. What also makes his turn important is that he isn’t using it to ride a “cool factor” hot streak out the door. He knows his role of making money and building other stars as he finishes out his career. If he can tell a captivating long-term story as well, then it is a win-win for everybody.
Gunther
Three weeks ago, Gunther vs. Jey Uso was one of the biggest “who cares” title matches on this weekend’s card. However, the world’s heavyweight champ has done all he can to make fans care about a match we have seen a bunch of times over the last six months. Be it brutalizing Jimmy Uso or showing regret for the decision, it’s the heel who is doing the work to make us all care about this match.
Tiffany Stratton
Tiffany Stratton made headlines last week for taking some personal “off-script” digs at Charlotte Flair on Smackdown. However, the comments reportedly came after her WrestleMania opponent seemed to take liberties with he rising star in the build to their match. Tiffy has taken back the momentum and deserves credit for standing up to one of the biggest stars in WWE women’s division history. It has added a sizzle this rivalry badly needed.
CM Punk
CM Punk will finally achieve something this weekend that only the true immortals in WWE history get to do: main-eventing WrestleMania. However, he added even more intrigue when he revealed the favor he wanted from Paul Heyman. And that is the Wiseman being in his corner at ‘Mania 41 instead of the Tribal Chief. Punk continues to show he is a master storyteller.
Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker has not had many matches on Raw in recent weeks, but that does not mean he has not made an impact. Especially with his awe-inspiring spear. Two weeks ago, he created the best highlight of the spring with a wild spear on Carlito. Then this week, he somehow landed a double-spear on Carlito and Dominik Mysterio. Breakker continues to show why he is this generation’s Goldberg and Brock Lesnar.
Drew McIntyre
Smackdown star Drew McIntyre continues to be the best heel in the company. While he doesn’t have a marquee match this year, the “Scottish Psycho” has done great work by making his street fight with Damian Priest at ‘Mania a must-see matchup. He has been dastardly and is making things personal. Just like a top-notch heel does.
Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns likely has a career in Hollywood waiting for him if he chooses to pursue it like his cousin The Rock did two decades ago. He’s showcased more of that talent in recent weeks with outstanding character work as he wraps his head around his wiseman, deciding to be in one of his opponent’s corners on Saturday night. Reigns hasn’t had a match since January, yet he continues to be one of the more compelling talents on the roster.
Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes has continued to look like a superstar after being on the wrong end of the biggest heel turn ever. He has added a necessary level of edge to his character at a perfect time and has kept things interesting despite the schedule limitations of his opponent. The WWE Champion has done a great job of getting fans invested in his Night 2 WrestleMania main event.
Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is in a tough spot of being in a feud where he is sandwiched between the two most popular performers on the roster not named Cody Rhodes, in CM Punk and Roman Reigns. Yet, he has been able to hold his own as a very entertaining third wheel watching the drama over Paul Heyman play out. Heading into the Night 1 main event, Rollins has arguably made himself the most interesting person in this feud.
