I do try and give that priority over these power rankings, but I promise to dedicate more time to this series as well. Let's get started. Raw:  10. Ronda Rousey (Last Week: NR, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 10) 9.

We're still more than a month behind on power rankings but it could be worse, right? Right? Right... yeah, it's bad. Let's just get started. Raw: WWE tried unbelievably hard to get fans to hate Brock Lesnar and hey, it sort of worked. 10. Alexa Bliss (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 7, Peak: 8) 9.

This week was really all about one thing: Slammiversary. In a week full of buildup to Summerslam and the G1 Climax, Impact put on one of the best PPVs of the year and managed to erase some of the stigma that has followed them for years. Is it totally gone? Of course not, one show, no matter how good it is, changes years of bad booking and business decisions. But how did all of these things affect our rankings? Let's get started. Raw:  10. Alexa Bliss (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 6, Peak: 8) 9. Bobby Lashley 1 (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 6, Peak: 8) 8. Seth Rollins 14 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 67, Peak: 1) 7.

Alexa Bliss (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 5, Peak: 8) 9. Seth Rollins 14 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 66, Peak: 1) 8. Bobby Lashley  1 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 5, Peak: 8)- Lashley's match at Extreme Rules with Roman Reigns was the best of his WWE return. He followed that up by winning the main event match of Raw the next night.  7. The B Team (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 4, Peak: 7) 6. Roman Reigns 8 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 66, Peak: 1) 5. The Deleters of Worlds 3/1 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 20/15, Peak: 2) 4. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre 1/1 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 6, Peak: 4)- McIntyre looked very ...
