WWE Power Rankings of the week, 8th August 2016

Last week of WWE programming was nothing less than eventful. WWE made a huge attempt to put over the Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar feud and also, they made big strides in building up the upcoming Championship matches at SummerSlam. The momentum of numerous superstars was affected due to the bold booking decisions that WWE made, and the upcoming week is going to have an impact on the same.

But before we head into another week of WWE programming, it would make sense to look back and see which all superstars comes in with momentum on their side. So, here is the WWE Power Rankings ahead of the August 8, 2016, edition of Monday Night Raw.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE last week and made an immediate impact. Though there were concerns about the reaction he would get due to the USADA bust, it turned out to be a good outing for everyone. Having Paul Heyman at their disposal was a big boost for the WWE and Heyman simply sold the match.

Randy Orton got the better of Lesnar on Raw, but Lesnar leveled the score when he showed up on SmackDown Live!. Lesnar might not appear this week, but that would not be a problem since he has already made a lasting impression with his appearance last week.
