Through painstaking research we have compiled a list of the 15 most powerful superstars of the week.
These rankings are made based on wins, loses, championship reigns and hunts, and overall impact that superstars make on a week to week basis. So without further Ado, here is YOUR POWER 15!!!
#1 - Big Show (Axesex Heat) World Heavy Weight Champion Last week’s spot N/R
Making appearances on both Axesex Heat and Saturday Night Snapdragon this week, Big Show dominated the news in WWE. The win/loss count tells the whole story here. The World heavy weight Champion Big Show had 4 victories this week! Beating Justin Gabriel and Kurt Hawkins on one night is a feat to be sure, but Big Show cemented his reputation as a fighting champion by defending his title twice this week. Big Show pushed Sheamus to the limit and out of the title hunt by retaining the WHC in a rematch. And despite a no contest, Show retained his title against Randy Orton as well. While Sheamus and Orton may have claim to rematches, this might be the best single week for any Champion we can remember.
#2 - CM Punk (Velocijakked) WWE Champion Last week’s spot N/R
Being the WWE Champion for 343 days is the stuff of legend. And while WWE Champion CM Punk may not have had the fighting record of WHC Big Show this week, Punk isn’t one to turn down a fight. Punk accepted the challenge of John Cena (And used his clout to chose a truly controversial stipulation). Few men carry enough respect to have WWE CEO Vince McMahon at their beckon call, but the WWE Champ showed this week that top WWE Brass should take him seriously, and he can grab hold of any twist or turn they throw at him.
#3 - Team Hell No - Kane and Daniel Bryan (Axesex Heat) WWE Tag Team Champions Last week’s spot N/R
The Tag Champs are in trouble. 3 teams are gunning for the top spot in the world of tag, and no one knows how much longer these misfits will be able to hold it together. So why, oh why are they in the #3 spot? Because, when these guys put their differences aside, they are a frighteningly effective force for destruction. With Tag teams in the mash-up match spotlight this week on Axesex Heat and the return of a ferocious Uso Brothers team promising to dominate their peers on Velocijakked, we got a taste of the competition to come for Team Hell No. It’s been years since the Tag division was so hot, but can Hell No keep their cool?!?!
#4 - Sheamus (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week’s ranking N/R
Sheamus couldn’t pick up the victory against Big Show this week to bring the WHC to SNSD, but he made a valiant effort. If it wasn’t for Ziggler’s interference Sheamus might be in the top 3 this week, but SWFantasy Superstars have to roll with the punches, and Ziggler put up a serious roadblock to Sheamus’s plans. Sheamus has a strong claim to another rematch, but the likelihood of Axesex Heat’s frighteningly good looking top brass risking the title again seems slim. With the title picture on SNSD heating up, no matter where Sheamus turns his focus, he is sure to have a big impact.
#5 - John Cena (Velocijakked) Last week’s rankings N/R
John Cena wasn’t dominating in a match this week, but big gambles can have big payoffs. John agreed to put something huge on the line in what will for sure be one of the biggest matches of the year. For that, we reward Cena with the #5 spot. But don’t forget, if John loses, and waives his right to any future title shots as CM Punk made Cena agree to do, Cena could be taking a mighty tumble from the top sometime very soon. With Cena falling off the titlehunt-free bandwagon, will his addiction for gold be sated?? Or will CM Punk force some cold turkey treatment on the 16 time Champion Cena?
#6 - Mark Henry (Axesex Heat) Last week’s spot N/R
Few men have the tools to make an impact like Mark Henry did this week. Inserting himself into the World Heavyweight Championship match on Axesex Heat put Henry back on the map. Henry is a giant amongst giants and will have to smash a few skulls and grab the spotlight to keep this spot on the Power 15 next week. Perhaps he can find an ally in a new GM to legitimize his interest in the WHC. But his domination over the main event of Axesex Heat and his daring to attract the ire of Show and Orton impressed us enough for the #6 spot.
#7 - Randy Orton (Axesex Heat) Last week’s spot N/R
While Randy Orton didn’t win his WHC match this week on Axesex Heat, he is still the likely #1 contender due to a no contest ruling. As Big Show’s hand picked challenger for his World Heavy Weight Championship, Randy has been proven to be the number one threat on Axesex Heat. And who better to name that threat than Big Show himself? But Mark Henry got the better of Randy this week, and has clearly inserted himself into this title picture. Randy will be coming back with a vengeance next week, to hold onto his #1 contender’s spot, and to fend off whatever devious plans Henry might have in mind. But, is it too late for Randy to keep only himself and the Big Show in the picture?
#8 - Antonio Cesaro (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) United States Champion Last week’s ranking N/R
Cesaro has had one of the strongest US Championship reigns of the past several years. Certainly, his career is a blank slate for many fans, but competitive matches and dominant performances highlight promising potential and a hunger to prove himself. The struggle for #1 contendership has thrust the US Championship into the spotlight of SNSD and may pump some new life into a classic title. Khali is a former World Champion, but hasn’t had the best record in the past several years, but he has earned a match against Cesaro which could turn ugly.
#9 - Pretty Fly Layla and Tamina (Axesex Heat) Co-Diva’s Champion last week’s ranking N/R
Dominating the former champion Eve and taking the gold proved to be an easy task for Layla, but what will Eve and Kaitlyn say to her and the Feaux Blond Bomb Shell when they have a chance to regroup? Talk about making a splash in the rankings Tamina!
#10 - Dolph Ziggler (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) WHC Money in the Bank holder Last week’s ranking N/R
Defeating Christian (A former WHC) is no easy feat. But to top it off, Ziggler made an undeniable impact on the WHC match between Big Show and Sheamus. While Sheamus left Ziggler laying unconscious in the ring, the Show off is no stranger to a beating. Coming back for more is Ziggler’s strong suit, and clearly he will not let his giant peers leave him out of the top spot. Don’t forget, pending next week’s #1 contender’s match for the Tag Titles, If Vickie’s team wins, Dolph could have a Great ally in the Axesex heat GM, where Ziggler’s Money in the Bank Briefcase holds the potential to be a bomb shell.
#11 - Ryback (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week’s ranking N/R
Ryback is a man of few words, but great deeds. Defeating Kurt Hawkins wasn’t much of a surprise, but the mysterious and dangerous Tensai saw just how great Ryback can be when his sneak attack was shellshocked. No one messes with Ryback. No one.
#12 - Tie, Primetime Players/Primo & Epico/Rhodes Scholars (Axesex Heat) Last week’s ranking N/R
3 teams? What’s going on here? Well these three teams had similar weeks. A Mash-up match night left each team with a one on one loss and victory each against opposing members of other teams. Each team has earned a #1 contender’s match shot for next week in a triple threat match. As they scramble to find potential GM candidates to be in their corner to fulfil the requirements of the match, they should also be preparing for team Hell No, a mash up in its own right of two former World Champions who don’t seem keen on letting the belts go.
#13 - Kofi Kingston (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Intercontinental Champion Last week’s ranking N/R
Kofi defeated Alex Riley this week. Whats next for Kofi? Victories are part of being champion, but a memorable champion brings more to the table. Can Kofi capture some of the magic that makes the Intercontinental Championship one of the most legendary belts in the business? Or will he take second fiddle to the US title which had an exciting week of action?
#14 - Uso Brothers (Velocijakked) Last week’s ranking N/R
The Usos left surefire hall-of-famer Rey Mysterio and his partner Sin Cara laying in the ring this week, and they did it with a devastating table splash. The Usos showed this week they are feeling EXTREMELY overlooked, and are sick of pretenders dabbling in their division. If you want to form a team in SWFantasy, the Usos are putting a target on your back until you can prove you deserve to call yourself a tag team.
#15 - Fandangoo (Saturday Night Snap Dragon) Last week's ranking N/R
The match may have been over an argument with Del Rio and Brodus Clay, but Fandangoo made the biggest impact, laying Brodus low with a Microphone to the skull. Fandagoo is an enigma, but does he have the footwork to dance his way out of trouble with the Funkasaurus?
In addition to the POWER 15, the Un4tunate Four is a list of 4 superstars who might want to rethink their career choices.
#-1 - Yoshi Tatsu (Axesex Heat) last week’s ranking N/R
Yoshi had a terrible week, losing to Heath Slater and then being crushed by Mark Henry. Both men are real competitors, but two loses is a blow to the Ego. Long Island Yo-Shi may have been good for a laugh, but we aren’t sure that’s what Yoshi intended. With Santino on the case, we look forward to some laughs, but if Yoshi wants to be a true competitor, he needs to win some matches.
#-2 - Tyson Kidd (Velocijakked) last week’s ranking N/R
Tyson may not have had a bad match against Big Zeke this week, but a loss is a loss. And neglecting to take advantage of veteran advice from William Regal is surely poor decision making. Tyson better watch his back, Regal isn’t retired just yet.
#-3 - Zack Ryder (Velocijakked) Internet Champion Last week’s ranking N/R
Poor Zack, how does it feel to have a championship that no one recognizes as a legitimate title? Is Zack the man to build a lineage for a new title? Or should he just hang up the head band? The internet is poised to support him, if he can just get someone to accept his challenge.
#-4 - Eve (Axesex Heat) Last week’s ranking N/R
Eve lost her title this week to a powerful and devious duo. Her only ally has a history of sudden injuries and Eve is looking at un4tunate odds in any upcoming rematch. Eve might want to go to the drawing board before stepping back up to the plate.
