WWE RAW: Power Rankings – August 26, 2013
Alberto Del Rio’s actions have cost him for the second week in a row
Sportskeeda presents the ‘Power Rankings’ from this week’s WWE RAW episode. We aim at ranking superstars based on their weekly performance every Monday night. So, let us have a look at the performances of the superstars this week.
10) Seth Rollins
In the number ten spot, we have Shield member Seth Rollins. Rollins was the first to face Bryan in the gauntlet match on RAW. Despite having other members of The Shield around ringside to aid his cause, Rollins failed to pick up a victory over the talented Daniel Bryan. He was however successful in ambushing Bryan after the match.
9) Titus O’Niel
Third consecutive win for the PTP stable this week on RAW. After Darren Young picked up a shock upset win recently, Titus opened his account with an impressive win over Jack Swagger. It is now time for the ‘Real Americans’ to start their jobbing duties.
8) Cody Rhodes
In the 8th spot, we have Cody Rhodes. On a high ever since his win over Sandow, Rhodes picked up two wins on RAW, first against Fandango and the other one against Fandango and Sandow in a tag team match with the Miz. Rhodes has been hitting a purple patch as of late and is rewarded with a spot in our power rankings.
7) Alberto Del Rio
Punishing Ricardo Rodriguez seems like a bad idea as the latter cost Del Rio yet another match on RAW. With his timely distraction, Rob Van Dam pinned Del Rio in a very impressive match to say the least. Del Rio has raised his standard ever since becoming world champion. But he has to get his game plan right and in place to pick up crucial wins.
6) Curtis Axel
Axel can be mighty proud with the effort he put up against CM Punk on RAW. He tried all he could to keep the former champion from getting his hands on Paul Heyman. However, some things are inevitable as Punk delivered the GTS for the win. Axel got his revenge with some hard chair shots on Punk after the match. This definitely seems to be one feud to look out for.
