WWE Monday Night Raw Power Rankings, Week of December 31, 2019

Top 10 Men

1. Aleister Black

Say what you want, but the feud between Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy has been THE best thing to happen on Raw in a long time.

2. Randy Orton

After reports of a knee injury surfaced over the weekend, Orton pulled a fast one on AJ Styles and revealed there was no problem. It wasn’t quite as sneaky as Mark Henry’s “retirement” speech with John Cena, but it was still fitting of a Viper.

3. Andrade

After a bad couple of weeks, El Idolo returned to form by taking the United States Championship from Rey Mysterio and seems to be back on track.

4. Erick Rowan

Another week, another dismantling of a poor local soul. But he also managed to creep out Lana before her wedding, which was worth the time to see.

5. Buddy Murphy

The fact that he lost was the only thing that kept him out of a higher ranking. Otherwise, he and Aleister Black tore the house down again.

6. Drew McIntyre

Wait…did he call himself the “Sexy Scotsman?”

7. Ricochet

Give him points for stepping up and challenging Andrade, after the United States Champion tried to DDT a local opponent on the arena floor. But he suffered a DDT of his own for his efforts.

8. Samoa Joe

Words can’t express how good it was to see him get physical again. And having him on the side of Kevin Owens is just going to be painful for the Authors of Pain.

9. AJ Styles

When you poke The Viper, you get the RKO. At least that’s the lesson our OC leader learned this week.

10. R-Truth

The 24/7 Champion made a lap around the ring during the Charlotte-Natalya match, and escaped with the title intact. That counts for something, right?
