10. Gunther:

Gunther got his way by crying so much that he got another title shot against Cody Rhodes on Friday Night SmackDown this week. Another stipulation added to this match was that Sami Zayn is now the match’s referee. This could spell doom for our champ, because it seems Gunther has become the third wheel in this wrestle-fair.

9. Bron Breakker:

Bron Breakker was still mad about losing to Rollins a couple of weeks ago and decided to get revenge last week. That’s when Austin Theory and Breakker decided to interfere in Rollin’s Fatal-Four Way match, costing him the match. You can bet bad blood will be spilled this week, once RAW starts.

8. Trick Williams:

Trick Williams came out for a promo on SmackDown last week to talk about losing in the Fatal-Four Way match. Williams reminded everyone who he was and started running his mouth before Ricky Saints music hit. However, as Saints approached the ring, Carmelo Hayes came out as well, walking past Saints, which ended up causing a brawl between the three superstars. This has a triple-threat match between all three of them written all over it. 

7. Oba Femi:

Oba Femi came out on Monday Night RAW last week to cut a promo. He talked about how he was going to run through the entire King of the Ring tournament and then go from there. That’s when Dominik Mysterio came out to match his energy, but tried to fool Femi with an attack from behind by JD McDonagh. That failed miserably as both ran from Femi like two dogs with their tails up their rear. 

6. Penta:

Penta defended his Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio on RAW last week. Their match was what you expected it to be, with many high-flying moves and counters to go with them. In the end, Penta retained, but you have to give kudos to Mysterio, who only cements his legacy even more every time he laces his boots up. 

5. “Main Event” Jey Uso:

Jey Uso was part of a Fatal-Four Way Match on Friday Night SmackDown last week between L.A. Knight, Royce Keys, Finn Balór, and himself. After an insane match with many fun spots to pick out, Jey was able to deliver his signature splash from the ropes and secure the win. YEET!

4. C.M. Punk:

C.M. Punk lost his World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns in the main event at Wrestlemania. After that, Punk had some words with Rhodes about a title shot before his departure. With it now officially Summerslam season, we could see Punk return at some point this summer. 

3. Seth Rollins:

Seth “Freakin” Rollins was waiting for his chance to enter the King of the Ring tournament, and that’s what happened to Rollins last week on Monday Night. In a Fatal-Four Way Match, Rollins had to deal with Talla Tonga, Ricky Saints, and Je’Von Evans, who eventually won the match due to interference from the Vision. This infuriated Rollins and most likely will start off RAW this week, with his rebuttal.

2. Roman Reigns:

Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu at the Clash in Italy, in what was a very good match between two powerhouses like themselves. From moonsaults to spears, both wrestlers used power move after power move, until Fatu fell. Reigns had an off week last week, so expect him back soon enough. 

1. Cody Rhodes:

Cody Rhodes has had it up to his ears with both Gunther and Sami Zayn, on so many levels. From the backstage antics, cheap shots, and now Rhodes has to defend his title in what seems to be a two-on-one match, this Friday. I feel that Rhodes still wins, but this could be setting up something for the future. Maybe that future is a familiar face that’s finally making his return to the ring this summer.
