25. Sin Cara
The International Sensation slides down one spot this week following his loss to Big E Langston on SmackDown, though the masked Superstar did secure a win against Curt Hawkins on "WWE Superstars."
24. Brie Bella
Brie Bella followed the big news of “Total Divas” on E! being a ratings hit last Sunday by defeating her reality show co-star and longtime rival Natalya the next night on Raw.
23. Fandango
The ballroom brawler lost significant momentum in recent days after walking out against Rob Van Dam and tapping out against CM Punk on Raw and SmackDown, respectively.
22. Big E Langston
Big E Langston took a tough loss via Disqualification to Dolph Ziggler on Raw due to AJ Lee’s involvement, but the fledgling brute did reestablish his dominating ways against Sin Cara on SmackDown.
21. The Usos
While Jimmy & Jey Uso couldn’t get the job done against The Shield on Raw, the Samoan Superstars still finished the week on a strong note by defeating The Prime Time Players on WWE Main Event.
20. The Wyatt Family
The strange plight of The Wyatt Family continues as the trio of terrifying competitors once again targeted Kane following The Big Red Monster’s match against Daniel Bryan on Raw.
19. Antonio Cesaro
Antonio Cesaro slides down one spot due to in-ring inactivity, especially if the Real American pupil of Zeb Colter spent the past week saying “We the People” to no one in particular.
18. The Miz
The Miz made a cameo appearance on the WWE App during Raw to discuss how his hosting duties on Aug. 19 guarantee that the WWE Universe will witness “the most must-see SummerSlam of all time.”
17. Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes beat two more of his Money in the Bank Ladder Match foes this week in the form of Jack Swagger and Wade Barrett, but continues to target “Mr. Money in the Bank” himself, Damien Sandow.
16. Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn’s morale went from a redemptive high to a soul-crushing low this week as her win over AJ Lee on Raw was followed by a failed chance to reclaim the Divas Title and a betrayal by Layla on SmackDown.
15. Rob Van Dam
What was more frustrating for Rob Van Dam this week: missing his chance on SmackDown to earn a World Heavyweight Title opportunity, or watching Fandango walk out of their match on Raw?
14. Damien Sandow
Damien Sandow did not look pleased with Cody Rhodes on SmackDown, and made his feelings known by attacking his former partner after Rhodes’s match last Friday in Houston.
13. Christian
Christian earned himself one more match for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam by outlasting Randy Orton and Rob Van Dam in a Triple Threat Match on SmackDown.
12. AJ Lee
AJ Lee kept her house in order by dispatching of Kaitlyn on SmackDown with Layla’s help, but the reigning Divas Champion still can’t keep Dolph Ziggler from getting under her skin.
11. Curtis Axel
Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel received a count-out victory over R-Truth on Raw as well as a sound thrashing by CM Punk, who is on a one-man mission to take out Paul Heyman and his "guys."
10. Mark Henry
The World’s Strongest Man holds tight in the 10-spot this week after a WWE Main Event win and ring-clearing run through The Shield on Raw.
9. Sheamus
In-ring inaction drops The Celtic Warrior down one spot on the rankings
8. Dolph Ziggler
A disqualification victory over Big E Langston ensures The Showoff a spot in the top 10.
7. Ryback
A loss to John Cena in a brutal Tables Match on Raw drops the monster down one spot this week.
6. Randy Orton
A Triple Threat loss on SmackDown tosses The Viper out of the top 5 this week.
5. CM Punk
The Second City Saint ascends back into the top 5 after a SmackDown win over the fleet-footed Fandango and a Raw statement delivered to Paul Heyman. With Punk now primed and ready to square off against The Beast, Brock Lesnar, at SummerSlam, what can the WWE Universe expect from The Best in the World in the coming weeks?
4. The Shield
A six-man tag team win over Mark Henry & The Usos Monday night moves the black-clad faction up one spot on the rankings this week. Still hoarding gold like it’s their job, United States Champion Dean Ambrose and WWE Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns remain one of the most dominant stables in all of WWE.
3. Alberto Del Rio
A Raw loss to (newly named No. 1 contender) Christian drops World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio down a place on the rankings, as the Mexican Superstar slips to the 3-spot this week. Still, Del Rio may have had the last laugh, as he laid waste to Captain Charisma just moments after Christian scored his huge SmackDown Triple Threat victory. Now the two veterans run full-speed-ahead into SummerSlam
2. Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan flips places with Del Rio this week, sitting pretty in the No. 2 position on the Power Rankings after a Monday night victory over former tag team partner Kane in a hard-fought battle. Arguably the hottest Superstar in all of WWE, there’s only one man who stands in the way of a No. 1 ranking … and the WWE Title.
1. John Cena
The WWE Champion retains his top spot ranking this week after sending Ryback crashing through a table Monday night on Raw. An epic Tables Match confrontation resulted in a massive win for the Cenation leader, who continues to build steam as his SummerSlam Title Match against Daniel Bryan looms.
