SK WWE Power Rankings: December 5th, 2016
Another action packed week of WWE is in the books, and it was capped off with some brilliant booking decisions at TLC, which has resulted in its fair share of controversy and talking points.
Roman Reigns was crowned as the new Number One Contender for the WWE Universal Championship, while Seth Rollins took out Chris Jericho, but the biggest talking point of Monday Night Raw has to be Sasha Banks winning the Women’s Championship.
As far as SmackDown was concerned, all the noteworthy incidents came at TLC. The show hosted two title changes and one great main event, which came along with a surprise twist in the end. All of this had an impact on the Power Rankings as well.
#10 Rich Swann (NR)
Rich Swann got a taste of gold this week when he defeated Brian Kendrick, at the first 205 Live episode. WWE’s decision to let the title change hands at the show is understandable, as they would’ve wanted to create a buzz.
This, however, could be a big problem for Swann in the long run. He would have to work extra hard to prove that he is ready to hold the Championship and carry the division.
Before getting the big win over Kendrick on Tuesday night, Swann had got a big win over Noam Dar on Monday Night Raw, and both these victories help him get a place in this week’s Power Rankings.
