WWE Monday Night Raw Power Rankings: Week of December 17

Top 10 Men

1. Humberto Carrillo

A month ago, rumors were he wouldn’t be getting a lot of opportunities. On Monday night, he tore through as much of the gauntlet match as he could and for the wins he picked up during the match, he’s a clear cut number one.

2. Randy Orton

The Viper has been a thorn in the side of The O.C. for weeks. That continued on Monday with a big win over AJ Styles.

3. Andrade

Like him or not, he’s on a mean streak like we haven’t seen in awhile. He made Humberto Carrillo pay a heft price Monday night, with that hammerlock DDT on the floor.

4. Seth Rollins

He’s no longer the most popular kid in class, but that could also mean he’s about to get more vicious. We’ll find out when he meets Rey Mysterio next week for the United States Title.

5. Erick Rowan

Another week, another poor local soul chokeslammed into oblivion for trying to get a peek at Rowan’s mystery cage.

6. Akira Tozawa

He picked up a win over R-Truth to open up Monday night’s gauntlet match. It was the lone win he would get, but it was nice to see him not get his head kicked off by Drew McIntyre for a change.

7. Ricochet

Chalk up a win during the gauntlet match, but it wasn’t enough to win the whole thing. Still, he’s always fun to watch and this week was no different.

8. AJ Styles

The Phenomenal One put up a valiant effort against Randy Orton on Monday night, but it just wasn’t enough to knock off The Viper. These two have had a nice little rivalry lately, and we’re likely to see it continue.

9. Matt Hardy

Things have not been going well for Matt Hardy since his return three weeks ago as he’s yet to score a victory. Maybe a return to the tag team division is what could kickstart him.

10. R-Truth

While at this point he’s like a….37-time 24/7 Champion, or whatever he’s calling it this week, he lost the opening match of the gauntlet match, then got chased out of Des Moines by half the roster. And yet, he’s still one of the most entertaining aspects of Raw.
