Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: 5
Analysis: Continue the name of McIntyre, one of the strangest ever recorded. The Scottish locomotive travels through the COVID era, its impulse is immune even to a global calamity.
Here’s the thing: he didn’t just look like a champion opposed to Orton. He looked like the champion, the man. There is a difference and the fact that it turns out to carry the burden of the belt so gracefully is not actually lost to the decision maker on the back.
McIntyre is now the face of the company. Everyone salutes the king. That reigns for a while.
Professional wrestling is the “what have you been doing for me lately?” Unlike other sports, where perception, prestige and ratings are connected to a cumulative loss record, the fight remains delightfully indifferent to such reality.
Wrestling is the art of simulated combat, yes. But it is also much, much more, a fashionable parable capable of telling deep truths about love, loss, jealousy and evil. The fight, in short, is all we need it to be, even things we never imagined to be capable of.
He’s unlimited.
A hero one week can forget the next. Even decades of events disappear smoothly if you repeat the new story enough times on TV.
The nature of the business makes a list like this difficult to execute. Things are replaced and replaced quickly. As in other sports, victories are important, but unlike other sports, they are the only progression mechanism.
The following is a list of wrestlers classified according to their existing position at the company. It’s not a list that takes into account professional achievements or long-term potential. These are not my favorites or even the artists I think are the ones in the industry.
It is a snapshot in the time you drive and whether this thrust works or not. Simple, but complicated, like the company you’re looking to capture.
25. Motor City Sentry Guns
Promotion: Impact
Last week: 25
Analysis: The Champions of the Impact team did what a championship team is intended to do: they probably stole the exhibit the first week of the Promotion Emergency event. One of the most influential groups of the fashion era, it’s wonderful to see them doing their thing on the big level again.
24 by Kross Karrion
Promotion: NXT
Last week: 19
Analysis: How, questions, Kross won the name NXT and managed to lose 3 places? Well, the attack was long and tortuous, and the online audience promptly rejected his elevation. In the most sensible part of that, he would possibly have suffered an injury during the process. It was a clever evening in theory that did not end up fulfilling as WWE certainly hoped.
23. Big E
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 10
Analysis: We were promised a big boost to Big E. Instead, it moves to half the group. Not only did he leave SummerSlam altogether, but he was forced to get a reasonable victory over Sheamus.
If you can’t go beyond Sheamus strong, what chance is there that you have a real chance of fitting a main player?
22 Adam Cole
Promotion: NXT
Last week: Rated
Analysis: Full attention will be paid to Pat McAfee. And rightly so. But it was Cole who made this game possible. He won’t have the merit, but those who know, know it.
21. Dominick Mysterio
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: Rated
Analysis: The son of the mythical King Mysterio sought revenge on Seth Rollins. And, though he didn’t perceive it, he earned a little more from the audience: respect. From his fresh attire, a hoodie, to his never-to-go attitude, Mysterio was a breath of new air. One less game and thousands to do. Good luck boy.
20th Mandy Rose
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: Rated
Analysis: From his Sharon Stone-inspired look to his relentless victory, what didn’t rain on Mandy at Summerslam on Sunday? It was the most important night of his career and he made it count after a very interesting month out of the ring.
19th Damian Priest
Promotion: NXT
Last week: Rated
Analysis: Priest looked like a star holding the American title. Then he went into a hot one in his leather pants with a bottle of champagne.
A tribute to Chris Jericho?
Anyway, it’s to watch on NXT.
18. Kenny Omega / Page of the Hanged
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 14
Analysis: Page and Omega are team champions, but they don’t feel like a team. Once back this week, Omega had galloped off with his young bucks friends, taking a terrible beating to the members of the 3rd Dark Order chain earlier even though everything broke and his dark side appeared.
Page, for his part, recruited through FTR, which rightly pointed out that it is the third wheel of his own team. It’s not going to have a grand finale.
17th Io Shirai
Promotion: NXT
Last week: Rated
Analysis: The NXT champion is among the most productive wrestlers in the ring on the planet. Hoping that her next fight will allow us to see her go out a little more often. She will never be a star in the WWE narrative. She does not have Asuka’s personality to help her succeed on this language barrier. What it does, however, does as well as in the world.
16th FTR
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 4
Analysis: FTR received a key place this week, with the task of convincing a persistent audience that he had seen playoff basketball on TNT stick a little bit to professional wrestling. They combined well with Private Party, smart enough, in fact, to make me salivate for an inevitable Young Bucks game.
Their slippage in this week’s ratings is more about other acts that do wonderful things and less than FTR’s wrong. They’ll soon be the center of attention again.
15th Chris Jericho
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 11
Analysis: Jericho continues his probably endless enmity with Orange Cassidy. It’s entertaining in its own way, but where can you go?
If Jericho wins, he simply forgets when he returns to his usual career.
If Orange wins, what do you do with it as a follow-up? Very complicated to see the culmination of this dispute between each other.
14 x MJF
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 6
Analysis: This week, AEW champion Jon Moxley surely pulled Friedman out of the water with a promotion.
Unsurprisingly, the “electoral” contraption is already running low. Hoping Max can locate a way to bring a concept to life that doesn’t fit the characters.
13th Sonya Deville
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 15
Analysis: Deville recently made the bell. Congratulations to her for overcoming what must have been an incredibly complicated setting and providing a fit at her wonderful time. She has shown a true star force here. I don’t know when we’ll see her again, but the long term is brilliant.
12. Seth Rollins
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: Rated
Analysis: Rollins took Dominick Mysterio into his hand and helped make his first game a memorable night. It is a testament to his greatness. From his “King Mysterio to Halloween Havoc 1997” team to his way of threatening Mysterio’s mother, the total night was best for the Messiah on Monday night.
11th Lee Brodie
Promotion: AEW
Last week: Rated
Analysis: The setting wasn’t much, a dominant squash designed to, despite everything, advance Cody’s story. But the consequences have been incredible.
Right now, Lee is playing two roles with aplomb, either as a monster and as a comedy act at the same time. This is the kind of infrequent double task that few people in the business can perform.
10th Pat McAfee
Promotion: NXT
Last week: Rated
Analysis: Wow.
McAfee will probably never appear on this list again. But for a week without getting married, he was one of the best-known professional wrestlers on the planet.
And congratulations to him. I was skeptical, however, he went out and worked in a remarkable match, appearing as a prospective athlete and intelligence to be simple.
There were some stalls where the game rested, and he probably nailed them. Just a wonderful task and the kind of positive power that is contagious. He laughs and therefore the audience too.
9. The Devil
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 17
Analysis: The Fiend’s access highlighted the prospect of WWE ThunderDome. This has been the most productive component of his act. What followed, a winding hardcore fight, was overshadowed by the wonder of returning to the next fighter on our list.
Overall, without further narratives in what fits into a promising angle with Alexa Bliss, I was a little disappointed during the last big moment of the Fiend.
Eighth Roman reigns
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: Rated
Analysis: We were told to wait for the unexpected, right? After months on the shelf, the Big Dog returned to the yard, more in shape than ever, his gleaming smile absent in favor of a new attitude of not taking prisoners. That’s good.
Seventh Jon Moxley
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 8
Analysis: For the first time, verbal warfare with MJF looked like a Moxley show and a parody of sports entertainment. It’s a smart sign for the chances that this will become something special in All Out.
6. Orange Cassidy
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 2
Analysis: Cassidy’s act wasn’t designed for the highlight and starts flashing a bit like a hologram in a bad sci-fi movie. You only have one note: if you need a presence as more than just a partner, now is the time to let another.
Young dollars
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 24
Analysis: The Bucks once refilled valuable time with Dynamite in an exciting match. But the FTR story results in the direction of Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Page, leaving the Bucks once back, like strange men.
Keith Lee
Promotion: WWE NXT
Last week: 23
Analysis: Lee lost his NXT championship in an indifferent attack and feels like a bloodless act. You have to do a greater task to differentiate yourself in terms of personality if you need to succeed in a primary promotion. You will have the possibility to start over on Raw.
Good brothers
Promotion: Impact
Last week: 22
Analysis: Former Bullet Club founders had a disappointing game at the Impact Emergence event. At some point, exaggeration is not enough. You have to comply in the ring, and that’s been a failure in that sense.
Bianca Belair
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: 21
Analysis: The situation is interesting, but Belair is a player. When he gets the chance, he shines. But opportunities are becoming increasingly difficult to locate in highly competitive WWE.
Eric Young
Promotion: Impact
Last week: 20
Analysis: I wouldn’t be surprised to see Young return to that list next week. But it hasn’t shown up on TV this week and now there are several other people in the promotion who are making a variation of their device.
AJ Styles
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 18
Analysis: Styles lost his Intercontinental Championship and left the SummerSlam undercard. It’s as bloody as it has been since joining WWE in New Japan years ago.
Alexa Bliss
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 13
Analysis: After a big ascent, Alexa was missing the action for the name to fit Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt. Not that I’m in favor of a career, but WWE owes more to Alexa and the public.
Braun Strowman
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 12
Analysis: After weeks of wonderful storytelling, the big guy dropped the game, dropped the ball, dropped through a spear like a sack of nothing; it is also removed from Power’s ranking.
Cody (AEW): Brodie Lee crushed him and then rubbed him with a brutal later fight. Not only Cody won, but everyone around him. However, what comes next may release you from this list for the first time.
Daniel Bryan (WWE): The new father has been away from television for some time. I can’t wait to see him when he gets back.
Naomi (WWE): Naomi won a massive victory over Bayley on SmackDown. However, I had the feeling that her victory less over her and more about the continuation of Bayley and Sasha’s story.
Retribution (WWE): This is what the lack of warmth looks like.
Otis (WWE): I love the great man. But, for now, he is little more than a spectator watching the war of will between his beloved Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.
Thunder Rosa (AEW/NWA): While AEW’s women’s team tournament, however, had time on television, it is evident to anyone who sees the occasion on YouTube that none of the participants are in a position to make a notice. Impact. Thunder Rosa is in one position.
Dakota Kai (NXT): Kai is an excellent employee and has in fact been a delight in her new heel role. It seemed to belong to the ring with Io Shirai. Considering that Shirai was the world’s most productive female employee in the 2010s in the Stardom promotion, this is not a low eulogy.
Johnny Gargano (NXT): I love Johnny’s heel. He and his wife Candace LaRae are the most consistent performers of the series and there is a genuine presumption of life written on his face that makes him the best villain.
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: 1
Analysis: No one has been better at the microphone this year than Randy Orton. Out of the ring, it’s precisely what the WWE advertising device claims to be: the world’s wrestler.
Then the bell rings and changes.
It’s not like your games are bad. This, a loss for Drew McIntyre, became quite clever in the end. But there’s a tenacious feeling after Anton’s game, the feeling that he just didn’t live up to everything that preceded him.
Perhaps he’s too smart before the action starts to fit with his own popular of excellence?
Promotion: WWE Raw
Last week: 7
Analysis: What else can I say about the incomparable Sasha Banks? No one in corporate subsidiaries Ms. Banks’ appearance, attitude and internal excellence.
As clever as he backed Asuka inside the square circle, once back, his possible costume options stood out. The serrated crown of the banks is constantly changing, each has more than the other.
Enjoy this time, folks. We practice greatness in its heyday.
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: 9
Analysis: Few fighters have been able to win two other equally correct bouts on a singles night. But Asuka is Asuka. She can do anything.
It’s glorious to see her constant excellence rewarded once back with the Raw Women’s Championship. Getting out of a situation built for two other talents, in this case Sasha and Bayley, looking for forts is not an undeniable task. Asuka, however, made him seem calm.
Presumably Bayley and Sasha will focus their attention on each other, letting Asuka chart her own course. I can’t wait to see where it leads.
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 3
Analysis: What else can be said about Bayley? She loves wrestling and shows herself, whether a baby face or a heel, no one’s hobby for this company manifests itself in her habits and paintings like hers.
Keeping your SmackDown championship opposite Asuka has been one of the toughest and most demanding situations of your career; However, I suspect that keeping your tenacious dating with Sasha Banks, now untitled, will be an even more complicated task.
Like acceleration, the fall in connecting the boss’s embrace will be even more glorious.
