I told you we'd be catching up soon. Let's get started.

Raw:

10. Kane 1 (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 10)- I have a sneaky suspicion that chokeslamming Roman Reigns polls very well with voters in Tennessee.

9. Alexa Bliss 1 (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 8, Peak:  5)

8. Jason Jordan (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 14, Peak: 5)- Like him or hate him, you can't deny how talented Jordan is in the ring.
