Wrestling Power Rankings 8/26/17

We're going to be adding a new feature to our weekly power rankings: Wrestler of the Week. For each section (Raw, NJPW, ROH, GFW, etc.), we will select one person/team as wrestler of the week. All of the categories we use to determine power rankings (titles, wins, crowd response, etc.) will be used to determine wrestler of the week. The number of times a wrestler has won the award will be denoted next to their name. For example, if Brock Lesnar were to win three times, his entry would start with Brock Lesnar 3. The winner will be indicated by being underlined. Let's get started.
