WWE Friday Night SmackDown Power Rankings: Week of Nov. 11

Men’s Division

1. The Fiend, Bray Wyatt

The Universal Champion stays atop the rankings this week. He didn’t have an in-ring match, but he did make an appearance to attack Daniel Bryan on Friday. Until someone takes the belt from him, The Fiend stays put.

2. King Corbin

After trash-talking Roman Reigns when he wasn’t even in the building, Baron Corbin put his money where his mouth is. He had a little help from Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, but he took down the Big Dog. Because of his victory, Corbin supplants Reigns for second on the list.

3. Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura teamed up with Cesaro so take on Ali and Shorty G in a smaller-scale Team Hogan vs. Team Flair match on Friday. Thanks to some intervention by Sami Zayn, Nakamura was able to land his finisher, the Kinshasa, on Ali to end the match. Because he did the pinning, he’s listed above his partner.

4. Cesaro

Cesaro is getting the benefit of having Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura on his side. Talented enough on his own, though, Cesaro was part of the victory over Shorty G and Ali on Friday so he moves up.

5. Roman Reigns

With the loss to King Corbin, Reigns falls this week. Whether or not he has lost the locker room remains to be seen, but Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler sure did their best to imply that Corbin wasn’t wrong in that statement.

6. Shorty G

Shorty G and Ali gave it a valiant effort, but they could not overcome Sami Zayn’s interference to get the win. Gable wasn’t the one pinned, so he’s above Ali, but the loss sees them both fall.

7. Ali

Ali was taken down by Shinsuke Nakamura’s Kinshasa before the King of Strong Style pinned him. It was a fast-paced match, one that favored the smaller men, but Sami Zayn made sure his team didn’t lose. Ali falls with the loss.

8. Braun Strowman

Strowman didn’t have an actual match on Friday, but he did get in the ring with Tyson Fury. Fury suggested the two tag together and the B-Team showed up to take them on. Before it could be made official, though, Strowman and Fury quickly dispatched of the smaller men.

9. Daniel Bryan

Bryan stood on the ramp and watched Nakamura and Cesaro get the win over Shorty G and Ali, with the help of Sami Zayn. Bryan didn’t enter the ring and was later attacked by The Fiend, which is why he fell, but he is talented enough to remain in the top 10.

10. Tyson Fury

Okay, so he’s not an actual WWE Superstar, but he’s appeared in the ring a couple of times now. He is also the one who suggested teaming up with Braun Strowman as a tag team, which no one would want to fight. The B-Team showed up and Fury assisted Strowman with dispatching them quickly. It’s unlikely he’ll be here next week, but he deserves kudos for his WWE appearances.
