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 this past weekend’s massive WrestleMania 41 card.
10. Jacob Fatu
Before Jacob Fatu made his WWE debut, the word was that management feared he would overshadow Solo Sikoa. Well, that is exactly what has happened as he has been a huge hit in his rookie year with the company. There is no better proof of how over he is than that, despite being a nasty heel, he continues to get “Fatu” chants on SmackDown each week.
Getting a ‘Mania spot instead of Sikoa was more evidence. Then beating LA Knight a few weeks after he just got the US title back confirmed WWE has big plans for the Samoan.
9. Dominik Mysterio
Love him or hate him, Dominik Mysterio is a very talented performer. He completely understands his role and nails it at every turn. Yet, like so many unpredictable WrestleMania crowds in the past, the audience showed Mysterio a ton of love and gave him his flowers for all his hard work in recent years. Yes, Dom Mysterio deserves to be the Intercontinental champion.
8. Jey Uso
We can all agree, the World Heavyweight title match between Jey Uso vs. Gunther was not a must-see match at WrestleMania 41. Mainly because we have seen the match quite often over the last year, and it was a lock that Uso would win. Nevertheless, the pair delivered one of the best matches of either night and told an entertaining story. Uso’s popularity is undeniable, and seeing the company reward fans by giving their champion a top title is proof of the special talent Uso is.
7. John Cena
John Cena had to be on this list. He was in the “real” main event of WrestleMania 41, defeated Cody Rhodes, and broke the record for most world championships. But he looked very much like a 47-year-old man who has a ton of wrestling miles on his body. The pair’s match was alright, and Travis Scott made the finish one of the biggest eye-roll moments in ‘Mania history. But when you make history, you have to make our WWE power rankings.
6. Iyo Sky
Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley was a popular pick among fans to be the best match at WrestleMania 41. Well, the three women delivered and then some on Sunday night. All three could be in our top 10 for how great their match was. But there can only be one, and the honor goes to Sky, who surprisingly retained her belt. She has “it factor” despite her language barriers and is probably the best performer in a deep female roster. That makes her worthy of a spot in our latest WWE power rankings.
5. Drew McIntyre
It might get lost in the shuffle of such a massive card with big moments and matchups, but Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest delivered a gem this past weekend. We have seen them battle quite often, so they needed to freshen things up. And they did that with a very physical and violent match that brought a definitive end to their feud. And it proved once again that McIntyre is the best heel in the company and a 99th percentile talent.
4. CM Punk
It is not easy being a few years away from 50 and competing with two elites of the industry in their “wrestler prime.” However, CM Punk kept pace with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins like only a true legend can. He performed well and was a massive part of the build to their triple-threat main event. Despite being 46, Punk is still an impactful performer in the ring and proved that again in his first ‘Mania main event.
3. Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes did the best he could with a weird situation over the weekend. He looked very strong in the lead-up to WrestleMania 41, but you can only do so much in a match with a 47-year-old performer with a lot of wear and tear. His bout on night two was alright, and having to interact with Travis Scott was something he just had to do as part of his job. Rhodes only falls in our WWE power rankings this week because he was put into a difficult spot at WrestleMania 41.
2. Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns has done some fantastic character work in recent weeks as he lost his wiseman on the road to WrestleMania. He is an elite in-match storyteller and showed that again over the weekend. Like Rollins, he will be one of the most intriguing characters in WWE in the weeks and months ahead. Because the man who led a tribe for years is now truly alone.
1. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins was surprisingly good in the lead-up to ‘Mania, being sandwiched between two of the company’s top baby faces. His shades of grey and hints of bad guy movements made him must-see TV. Now, he will be one of the biggest stories in WWE via his shocking relationship with Paul Heyman. Their surprise at the end of night one was the best moment at WrestleMania 41.
