WWE Superstar Power Rankings: Pre-Fastlane Edition

Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe brawled all over Green Bay on Monday night. Randy Orton lit Bray Wyatt’s compound on fire Tuesday night. In the simplest terms, pro wrestling is awesome. You know what else is awesome? These pre-Fastlane WWE Superstar Power Rankings.

You could say this past week of WWE was, shall we say … en fuego.

(For those that haven’t taken a Spanish class before or ever watched Dan Patrick help anchor an episode of SportsCenter, that means “on fire”.)

RAW seemingly missed the mark with their final show before Fastlane on Sunday night. Sure, we got Cesaro taking on Samoa Joe, followed by an awesome brawl with Joe and the return of some sorts with Sami Zayn, along with an awesome Triple H-Seth Rollins segment.

But for most of the night, the action was as disappointing as the crowd in Green Bay chanting “C-M Pu … well, you know who.

Despite the go-home episode of Monday Night RAW not really living up to the hype outside of a few good moments, SmackDown Live picked up the slack with a fantastic show from start-to-finish.

It was great. John Cena dropped a pipe bomb right in The Miz’s face, Maryse smacked the holy hell out of Cena, Nikki Bella came down to the ring to chase Miz and Maryse, Cena kissed Nikki on camera like an episode of Total Bellas … and Randy Orton lit Bray Wyatt’s compound on fire and burned it to the ground.

He totally committed arson and should probably be heading to jail like Stone Cold Steve Austin did when he drove a damn zamboni into the Joe Louis Arena and attacked Vince McMahon all those years ago, but it was one of the best non-wrestling segments you’ll see on WWE programming all year.

There was a lot to process this week, which means movement for our weekly FanSided WWE Superstar Power Rankings. Who moved up and who moved down this week? Let’s take look at our top 20 stars.

(Disclaimer: The wrestlers chosen for this power rankings list only appear on Monday Night Raw or SmackDown Live, so that means no NXT/205Live specific stars are on this list.)
