Kevin Owens isn’t just The Face of America these days. He’s The Face of the WWE Superstar Power Rankings after Braun Strowman surprisingly took a tumble on RAW this past Monday. Here’s a look at the post-post-Payback rankings.
Between you and I, the thought of Braun Strowman being No. 1 in these WWE power rankings throughout the rest of 2017 did cross my mind often in these recent weeks.
But, with a report surrounding Strowman and a potential elbow injury — plus Roman Reigns beating Strowman into oblivion on Monday night — we have a new No. 1 in the rankings this week and his name is Kevin Owens.
We’ll get into that a little bit later on. Something that must be addressed right now is much more important. Well, two things must be addressed immediately.
The first thing is, how in the world do Sasha Banks and Alicia Fox only get a handful of minutes (if that) for an entertaining brawl on Monday later in the show? That was fun right out of the gate and it’s good to see Foxy get more time on air not yelling her brains out at someone on 205Live.
As for the second thing, what potion does Kofi Kingston have to drink to completely heal his fractured ankle? After The New Day’s fantastic vignette of an arcade game and the SmackDown Live tag team division, I’ve never wanted to see the trio more on television than I do right now. (Well, except the one time they had a time machine. I was incredibly eager for that.)
With all of that out of the way, let’s get into some rankings, shall we?
(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.)
