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 June 2 edition of WWE Raw.
1. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins‘ mission statement continues to be the systemic dismantling of his enemies as he pursues the World Heavyweight Championship. He has been incredibly successful in making strides towards both of those goals in recent weeks.
With his spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match already secured, he spent this past Monday’s RAW attacking Sami Zayn and Jey Uso while also costing CM Punk his opportunity to qualify. The closing moments saw Rollins and his crew standing triumphant and it is an image fans have become all too familiar with. At the moment, no one is hotter than Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.
2. Cody Rhodes
Ever since making his impactful return at Saturday Night’s Main Event last month, Cody Rhodes has had no trouble getting right back to being one of the most popular wrestlers around. Rhodes’ star power is as formidable as ever.
In a highly anticipated segment last Friday on SmackDown, he cut a scorching promo on Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena. Then, alongside his partner, Jey Uso, they successfully turned back an attack from Cena and Logan Paul. Rhodes symbolically held up the title to close the show. It’s only a matter of time before he recaptures it in earnest.
3. Jey Uso
Critics may say Jey Uso is lacking in certain areas. One thing he definitely doesn’t lack is crowd support. The World Heavyweight Champion continues to be the people’s champion with rousing entrances on a weekly basis as he continues to ride high.
He suffered a beatdown at the hands of Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed this past week and also has a huge title defense versus Gunther on the horizon. But the champion has not let any of that deter his momentum. His renewed confidence when confronting ‘The Ring General’ has shown just how far Uso has come and how much further he can potentially go.
4. Gunther
Gunther continues to loom large over the Red Brand. At every opportunity, he has been in Jey Uso’s ear reminding the champ that their rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship is drawing near. In Gunther’s mind, Uso is on borrowed time.
It’s no idle threat, either. As hot as Uso has been and as decisive as their Wrestlemania match was, Gunther remains one of the most formidable wrestlers on the roster. And now that he has redemption on his mind, he may be as motivated as ever. ‘The Ring General’ is always one match away. That match may very well be next Monday night.
5. John Cena
John Cena’s arrogance continues to know no bounds. The former face of the company continues to vow to destroy the very place he helped build. He is undeterred by the negative reactions he has gotten, as last Friday’s Smackdown clearly showed.
He came up short in his confrontation with Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso but this was par for the course. Cena has repeatedly shown over the last couple of months that he can find a way to win at any cost when the time arrives. You can believe he will have a game plan laid out ahead of his massive tag bout at Money in the Bank.
6. Stephanie Vaquer
Talk about making an immediate impact. Stephanie Vaquer‘s highly touted debut as a full-fledged member of the RAW roster couldn’t have gone any better. When all eyes fell upon her, ‘La Primera’ rose to the occasion.
She scored an impressive victory in her triple-threat qualifying match and punched her ticket to the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Not a bad first day at the office and you best believe this is only the beginning. There are few talents in wrestling who’s stock is rising as fast as Vaquer’s. If she continues on this trajectory, the sky’s the limit.
7. El Grande Americano
This could have easily been a note joke that ran out of gas weeks ago. But here we are with El Grande Americano scoring the biggest victory of his, um, young career.
The star-spangled luchador managed to defeat two future first-ballot Hall of Famers in CM Punk and AJ Styles to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match. Sure there was plenty of chaos surrounding the bout but the result remains the same. Now he stands one win away from a future world title opportunity. If only we knew who he was…
8. Jacob Fatu
The reigning United States Champion just continues to have an aura about him. Jacob Fatu‘s unpredictable nature and undeniable charisma keep him among the top acts in the company, even as things break down around him.
He missed his chance to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match this past week as his family’s unsolicited involvement once again proved to be a distraction. Nonetheless, there’s no denying how much fans have gravitated toward the wild man. And with a feud with Damian Priest potentially in the cards, we may be in store for a string of banger matches in the near future.
9. Naomi
It cannot be overstated just how much Naomi has stepped up her game as of late. Ever since she’s embraced her darker side, she has been a revelation and it paid huge dividends this past week.
Naomi toppled her arch-nemesis Jade Cargill and the ever-dangerous Nia Jax to punch her ticket to the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. It’s the latest in what has been a phenomenal run for the former fan-favorite. She finds herself in a stacked field for a shot at the coveted briefcase. But with the amount of momentum she’s been able to build for herself, she’s got as good a chance as any to take it home.
10. The Wyatt Sicks
Friday nights have gotten much freakier and fans can’t get enough. The return of The Wyatt Sicks had been anticipated for some time but it has been a joy seeing them up to their old tricks and terrorizing the tag division.
Whether this all leads to anything substantial remains to be seen. The group has been the victim of stalled pushes before. But the fantastic response to their appearances and the unique presentation they bring warrants celebrating. Here’s hoping this band of crazies finds solid ground to make an impact on the Blue Brand throughout the year.
