WWE Monday Night Raw power rankings: Week of Nov. 25, 2019
Here are the WWE Monday Night Raw rower rankings, for the week of Nov. 25.
We are officially past the 2019 WWE Survivor Series, and the fallout from the weekend was felt on Monday Night. There’s a huge shift in the rankings this week, so let’s take a look at the new list.
Top 5: Tag Teams
1. Authors of Pain
Finally. After weeks of vignettes, we get the AOP back in the ring. And they devoured the former tag team champions, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, in the process. Apparently having Seth Rollins leading your crusade doesn’t hurt things either.
2. The O.C.
It was a simple as getting some action in this week. And unfortunately, if your name is Humberto Carrillo, it came at your expense. The Magic Killer strikes again.
3. The Viking Raiders
While Seth Rollins claimed the entire Raw roster let everyone down at Survivor Series, let’s not forget that the sole victory from the red brand on Sunday night went to the reigning Raw Tag Team Champions. Rollins might want to think about that the next time he takes aim at the roster.
4. Street Profits
Silence is golden this week, as the Profits joined practically the entire roster in walking out on Rollins during his “town hall” meeting. You can’t really blame them either.
5. Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder
Their last two weeks have just been the subject of nightmares. From getting attacked and losing their shot at the Raw Tag Team Titles, to getting obliterated this week, the former Edgeheads need to step back and figure out what it’s going to take to GET their edge back.
Top 5 Women
1. Asuka
The “Empress of Tomorrow” seemingly can’t fail when it comes to being around Charlotte Flair. In the span of 24 hours, Asuka spewed her green mist at Flair and was able to quickly get a roll-up victory on Monday. She’s gaining momentum day by day, and that’s bad news for the other women on Raw.
2. Kairi Sane
If you’re going to mention Asuka, you have to mention the efforts of her tag team partner Kairi Sane. While she was ejected from the ringside area during Monday’s battle between Asuka and Flair, Sane re-emerged and caused the distraction. It wasn’t pretty, but definitely effective.
3. Charlotte Flair
It’s starting to look like an unfortunate pattern for The Queen, after a long night at Survivor Series and on Raw. Her best bet is to stay away from Asuka, at all costs.
4. Becky Lynch
Missing Women’s Champion alert: Where was The Man on Monday night?
5. Lana
Serving Rusev with a restraining order seemed like a good move, but it served practically zero purpose. This Jerry Springer-ish triangle involving them and Bobby Lashley just continues to get more bizarre every week.
Top 10 Men
1. Kevin Owens
The “K.O. Show” not only showed up at NXT: TakeOver on Saturday night, but he made it clear he is firmly planted on Team Raw. He stepped up to Seth Rollins in the main event and was on his way to victory before the AOP attacked him. This war is just getting started.
2. Seth Rollins
The Beastslayer stays in the Number 2 slot this week, but only because of the actions of the AOP during his match. While he tried to fire up the Raw roster earlier in the night, his comments also put him in everybody’s sights.
3. Rey Mysterio
All hail the NEW United States Champion! Thanks to a little help from an unlikely RKO, Mysterio pinned AJ Styles and adds another accomplishment to a legendary career.
4. Randy Orton
It’s almost been confusing lately, to see the helpful actions of Randy Orton. While he normally trusts no one, he did ensure that we saw a new champion get crowned. But how long will it be, before that familiar side of Orton comes slithering back?
5. Buddy Murphy
As impressive as Buddy Murphy has been in recent weeks, he did the ultimate crazy move this week. He officially picked a fight…with Aleister Black. After disposing of the returning Matt Hardy, Murphy actually stood up to Black — before getting his head nearly kicked off his shoulders.
6. Andrade
The artist known as “El Idolo” picked up another win to his record, but where was he at Survivor Series? How did he not manage to get involved somewhere?
7. Erick Rowan
The suspense is maddening already? What is he hiding under that cloth-covered cage? Is it even a cage?
8. Matt Hardy
It’s been several months since we’ve seen Matt Hardy in the ring. But his return was derailed at the hands of Buddy Murphy. Still, it was great seeing him back in action.
9. Aleister Black
As it turns out, picking a fight with this guy just isn’t smart. Maybe Buddy Murphy will figure that out one day.
10. Ricochet
WWE’s resident superhero had a golden opportunity to get the United States Championship back, but it just wasn’t his night, and could only watch as Rey Mysterio claimed that honor.
