Wrestling Power Rankings 7/14/18

Catching up with these power rankings has been extremely difficult, but I'm doing what I can and I hope to catch up very soon. Let's get started.

Raw: 

10. Alexa Bliss (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 4, Peak: 8)

9. Bobby Lashley (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 4, Peak: 90)

8. The B Team (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 8)

7. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre 1/1 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 5, Peak: 7)- McIntyre finally got the main roster showcase he deserved in his match against Rollins. Yes, Rollins can have a good match with anyone, but I think it's clear to anyone who saw this match that McIntyre is also a very capable wrestler.

6. Finn Balor 4 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 51, Peak: 2)

5. Roman Reigns 8 (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 64, Peak: 1)

4. Seth Rollins 14 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

3. The Deleters of Worlds 3/1 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 19/14, Peak: 2)

2. Brock Lesnar 1 (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

1. Braun Strowman 9 (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 54, Peak: 1)

SD: 

10. Andrade "Cien" Almas 1 (Last Week: NR, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 10)- I really enjoyed that Almas/Sin Cara match, it was the best Cara's looked in years. 

9. New Day 2 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 9, Peak: 6)

8. Jeff Hardy 1 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 13, Peak: 7)

7. Rusev (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 4. Peak: 7)- Not only did Rusev pick up a tag team win on Smackdown, but he was also hilarious on commentary. 

6. The Miz 2 (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 10, Peak: 3)

5. Carmella (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 14, Peak: 6)

4. Bludgeon Brothers (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 24, Peak: 4)

3. Shinsuke Nakamura 5 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

2. AJ Styles 6 (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

1. Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan & Kane) 5/1 (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 17/2, Peak: 1)

205 Live: 

10. Buddy Murphy 4 (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 16, Peak: 6)

9. TJP 1 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 8, Peak: 8)

8. Noam Dar (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 8)

7. Gran Metalik 3 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 26, Peak: 5)

6. Lince Dorado 1 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 24, Peak: 2)

5. Kalisto 6 (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 40, Peak: 1)

4. Hideo Itami 3 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 33, Peak: 2)- Itami's title match with Alexander was his best since signing with WWE. His strikes were utterly vicious and he looked like the ferocious world beater many were hoping he would be in NXT. A lot of credit goes to Alexander for selling so well.

3. Drew Gulak 2 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 13, Peak: 4)

2. Mustafa Ali 7 (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

1. Cedric Alexander 10 (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 59, Peak: 1)- Alexander has quietly been a fantastic Cruiserweight Champion. All three of his title defenses (against Kalisto, Buddy Murphy, and Hideo Itami) have been fantastic. 

NXT:  

10. Moustache Mountain 2 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 4, Peak: 8)- If you like your wrestling to have storytelling, then this is the match for you. While I don't think this was a five-star match, it was definitely an instant classic. Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly were fantastic as the no-good, dirty heels but the real stars here were Tyler Bate and Trent Seven. The duo sold absolutely beautifully and that really elevated the match. 

9. Velveteen Dream (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 9)

8. War Raiders (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 5, Peak: 8)

7. Ricochet 2 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 15, Peak: 5)

6. Pete Dunne 4 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 29, Peak: 4)

5. Tommaso Ciampa 3 (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 15, Peak: 5)

4. Shayna Baszler 2 (Last Week: 3 Weeks in Rankings: 28, Peak: 2)

3. The Undisputed Era 5 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 48, Peak: 1)

2. Aleister Black (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

1. Johnny Gargano 5 (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 32, Peak: 1)

Impact: If it somehow passed you by, go check out the Slammiversary poster of Pentagon Jr. and Sami Callihan, it's absolutely gorgeous. Also, Killer Kross is genuinely terrifying.

10. The OGz (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 10)

9. Su Yung (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 6, Peak: 7)

8. Tessa Blanchard 1 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 8)

7. Matt Sydal 2 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 25, Peak: 5)

6. oVe 5 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 47, Peak: 2)- I loved the main event of Impact this week. Just recently I accused the Crist brothers of sleeping through a match but here they looked on point and the best they've looked all year.

5. Eli Drake 7 (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 48, Peak: 1)

4. MOOSE 2 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 7, Peak: 3)

3. Pentagon 2 (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 12, Peak: 1)

2. Brian Cage 1 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 20, Peak: 1)

1. Austin Aries 6 (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 24, Peak: 1)

ROH: 

10. Silas Young (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 16, Peak: 6)

9. Sumie Sakai (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 15, Peak: 9)

8. Punishment Martinez (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 6)

7. Adam Page 6 (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)- The Hangman's first ever G1 match was a success as he defeated stablemate Bad Luck Fale, albeit by DQ.

6. The Kingdom (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 6)

5. Marty Scurll 6 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 2)

4. Young Bucks 10 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

3. The Briscoes 3 (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 62, Peak: 1)

2. Cody 4 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 55, Peak: 1)

1. Jay Lethal 6 (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 65, Peak: 1)

NJPW: IT'S G1 TIME BABY!

10. Hiroshi Tanahashi (Last Week: NR, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 10)- The Tana/Suzuki match was the best match of Day 1.

9. Jay White 1 (Last Week: NR, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 9)- Wow. Months after warning Kazuchika Okada he would come after him, White finally did. He brutalized the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion and turned heel in the process, getting the crowd to shower boos all over him.

8. Guerillas of Destiny (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 8)

7. Juice Robinson (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 7)
