Wrestling Power Rankings 8/4/18

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. The B Team (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 6, Peak: 7)

8. Bobby Lashley 1 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 7, Peak: 8)

7. The Deleters of Worlds 3/1 (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 22/17, Peak: 2)

6. Seth Rollins 14 (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 68, Peak: 1)

5. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre 1/1 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 8, Peak: 4)

4. Finn Balor 4 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 53, Peak: 2)

3. Roman Reigns 9 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 68, Peak: 1)

2. Braun Strowman 9 (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 57, Peak: 1)

1. Brock Lesnar 2 (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 68, Peak: 1)- Lesnar actually did a really good job of playing the asshole on Raw, although it was all a little over the top. 

SD: 

10. Jeff Hardy 1 (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 16, Peak: 7)

9. New Day (Last Week: 10, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 9)

8. Rusev (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 7. Peak: 7)

7. Carmella 1(Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 16, Peak: 5)- This will probably be a contentious pick but Carmella was the star of this week's episode. Her promo with Becky Lynch was excellent and genuinely had me fooled. Then, in the main event, she and Charlotte Flair had a really good match. And yes, Flair was the star of that match but Carmella more than held her own. 

6. Andrade "Cien" Almas 1 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 4, Peak: 7)

5. The Miz 2 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 13, Peak: 3)

2. Aleister Black (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 68, Peak: 1)

10. Kota Ibushi 1 (Last Week: NR, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 10)- The G-1 Climax is full of excellent wrestling and it can be hard to standout. That was no problem for Kota Ibushi this week as he had two excellent clashes with Tetsuya Naito and Hirooki Goto. Ibushi has easily been one of the tournament's MVPs so far.
