Traditional sports are judged by victories and defeats. This that the recordings bring with it the weight of truth, the ultimate arbiter of success.
Professional wrestling is a little different. It is a game in which athletes are judged not only by who wins and who loses, but also by weekly television audiences, fan reaction and even critical research of their performances.
These are, in some respects, apples and oranges.
This makes it difficult to create a list like this. A fighter can win 1,000 games in a row and never reach the 25 most sensible if no one cares. Similarly, a user who loses in a contest can impress the world with their bravery and abilities.
Winning and losing is just the beginning, not the end of the game. The momentum, interest of enthusiasts and outdoor elements of the ring such as interviews and vignettes are taken into account in the general symbol that informs this list.
This means that those strength ratings will significantly replace from week to week. Last week’s hot would possibly have passed seven days later in this world of “what … I did it in recent times.” Constant excellence will be rewarded, but no one has a golden price ticket that requires your constant presence here.
Let’s take a look at THE 25 most sensitive WWE, AEW and Impact wrestlers last week (as well as some who were on the list). Then we can all divide it in the comments!
25. Motor City Sentry Guns
Promotion: Impact
Last week: Rated
Analysis: The pioneers of long-standing independent wrestling are back in the big leagues and are already team champions. The Impact presented a series of videos ahead of their next match with The North, a setting that promises to live up to the world’s most productive team combat.
24. Young Bucks
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 23
Analysis: The world’s most productive self-proclaimed label team is a flexible act capable of seamlessly filling 15 minutes of TV time with a solid, action-oriented fight. Lately they are in conflict with FTR, it is unclear whether Dax and Cash are fully targeted at their California-based counterparts. After all, Kenny Omega and Adam Page have the ultimate team gold medal.
23. Keith Lee
Promotion: WWE NXT
Last week: 19
Analysis: The NXT champion burned through a fireball and will enter his name by fitting with Karrion Kross at a competitive disadvantage. More importantly, perhaps, NXT ratings are in free fall. While it’s not entirely fair to blame Lee, the fact is that he’s the most sensible guy when the interest turns out to be at his lowest point.
22. Good Brothers
Promotion: Impact
Last week: 10
Analysis: The former founders of the Bullet Club arrived with extravagant weapons, but the promotion may not fit their power with an equally popular act. Perspective is here to do attractive things; I hope you can locate an opposing force that is likely to be able to cope with those two strengths.
21. Bianca Belair
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: Rated
Analysis: The former queen of NXT bees has still risen to her immense RAW potential. But Zelina Vega’s mutilation this week brings at least the FIGHT IS to the conversation.
Although Belair can run to the top, it’s great to see WWE investing time in television in women’s stories in the middle of the map. That’s smart progress.
20. Eric Young
Promotion: Impact
Last week: 25
Analysis: Young looked wonderful in front of Willie Mack on the Impact, managing to make a very private game despite the absence of audience. He also has the attention of champion Eddie Edwards, a match with the prospect of attracting some eyes and attention to AXS Television.
19th Kross Karrion
Promotion: NXT
Last week: 22
Analysis: There’s something special about this guy. It identifies a risk in a way that very few manage to do in a new struggle. This is what a star looks like and feels like in the long run.
18. AJ Styles
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: Rated
Analysis: Intercontinental champion Styles got lost last week, but returned in a prolonged parody mocking the investigation (and perhaps mocking his own reputation as anti-intellectual). The segment wasn’t as much fun as the social media memes that followed, but Jeff Hardy injected some ferocity into the combination and this imaginable name match promises to be a lot of fun.
17. The Devil
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: Rated
Analysis: You made your voice hear loud and transparent in last week’s comments. Just because I didn’t appreciate the fight between Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman doesn’t mean the WWE universe isn’t interested. You were, and that’s a lot. Fortunately, the segment was wonderful this week, allowing me to insert The Fiend into this list without any conscientious disorder.
16th Seth Rollins
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: Rated
Analysis: I actively hated the concept of an enmity between Rollins and Dominic Mysterio and felt that wrestling enthusiasts on social media were also doing so. That’s why it didn’t happen last week. But this week, the two delivered a film segment, smart enough to arouse my curiosity to know what a man’s fit would look like. It’s a fake job!
15. Sonya Deville
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 14
Analysis: Deville continues to make her mark as the leading competitor in the entire women’s fight. She took the situation that was once mild between Mandy Rose and Otis in unforeseen directions, providing a fireplace and intensity that are simple for the ultimate wrestlers.
Hopefully, he’ll be able to recover temporarily after a recent attack at home. Toxic fandom is an increasingly uncomfortable component of the wrestling fanatic’s online delight; we deserve everyone to put our component into it in the most productive way possible.
14. Kenny Omega Page / Pendu
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 11
Analysis: Page and Omega remain champions of the fight, beating Jurassic Express in a competitive attack that lost too many beats to be considered excellent. His multi-team situation with the Young Bucks and FTR remains the subject of discussion on AEW’s Twitter.
While the dispute between the other groups doesn’t make sense, at least we can all be convinced that the matches will deliver a long time once they’re in the ring.
13. Alexa Bliss
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: Rated
Analysis: Work enthusiasts are definitely turning to alexa location on Omega/Page. But, the fact is, she probably killed him in his segment with Bray Wyatt and the Devil. She is the emotional heart of this tale and it is simple that either man would be encouraged through wonderful and horrible movements to earn their affection.
12 Braun Strowman
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: Rated
Analysis: Braun Strowguy’s new look requested to do an “actor’s play” this week on SmackDown, and the big guy delivered it primarily. I sorted him a step ahead of Bliss because, ultimately, he’ll be the one who’s going to focus on the situation when he gets in the ring to fight the Fiend.
The fact that the fight is for the universal championship has almost been forgotten because things have taken an awkward turn.
Chris Jericho 11
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 7
Analysis: The “show god” did not oppose Orange Cassidy this week, dropping the game and a notch in the show’s main event ratings. Jericho is a fashionable marvel, able to take any opponent and make it interesting.
Tenth Big E
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 9
Analysis: After voluntarily entering the shadows to make teammate Kofi Kingston shine, it’s now Big E’s turn to race to the top. For years, enthusiasts have speculated about what a Reign of Big E would look like: he is one of the sport’s most charismatic wrestlers and a physical specimen like no one else in the promotion.
Personally, I’m excited every single time I go on TV. The guy has a presence and I think he has a chance to be something special.
Ninth Asuka
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: Rated
Analysis: It’s been a week for Asuka. Not only did she earn a RAW name at SummerSlam by beating Bayley in a big game, but she also won the chance to compete for gold on SmackDown by being the last woman in a Battle Royal on Friday night.
Two name moves in one night? If he can succeed, he’s the former champion.
Eighth Jon Moxley
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 13
Analysis: Until this week, Moxley had felt like little more than an extra on the MJF show. He took the lead this week, demolishing his rival and making it clear that he doesn’t care about surveys or popularity contests at all. He’s in favor of a fight, and MJF, perhaps foolishly, has volunteered for duty.
Seventh Sasha Banks
Promotion: WWE SmackDown
Last week: 2
Analysis: Bayley assumed the team’s lead role this week, but Sasha has the kind of air of mystery and presence that allows her to shine even far away.
Right now, a lot of enthusiasts complain about booking week by week because, well, that’s exactly what hardcore enthusiasts are doing in 2020. In the end, we will have all this as one of the wonderful heels of the history of fashionable women’s struggle.
6 x MJF
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 8
Analysis: MJF deployed all of its bodyguards last week to cover tickets to Daily’s Place. Big mistake. A real supervillain knows how to keep his henchmen close. Maxwell made a mistake and paid a proper value: a beating at the hands of Moxley.
MJF is the latest promising heel in professional wrestling. He was given the component that occurs before the bell rings. Soon we will see what kind of paintings you can make inside the ring once the bell rings for an important occasion a la carte of the angels.
Removed from the ranking:
Miz/Morrision (last week: 24): John Morrison’s strong functionality this week opposite Big E, however, this team is rarely a central detail of the Mandy/Sonya Deville angle, just a strong act of support.
Hurt Business (last week: 21): Without the additional juice of RAW Underground, it was hard to justify its listing this week. They hold it as a faction of forged intermediate cards.
The Order of Darkness (Last Week: 20): I am an official member of this sect, so let me know. But, unfortunately, they’ve had problems this week and anyone other than Brodie Lee gets caught as a billboard comedy act. This means that they can infrequently succeed at the back of this list, but it doesn’t allow much progress.
Matt Cardona (last week: 18): Two weeks after his big debut, Cardona is MIA in AEW Dynamite. Welcome to the club. Unless it’s an important occasion or a TEU, it’s hard to find a constant TV hour on TNT.
Dakota Kai (last week: 17): I’m still very excited about Kai’s next name move. Unfortunately, WWE doesn’t seem to have the same energy.
Joey Janela (last week: 16): Janela is one of the most productive in the world in the independent scene. In AEW, however, it turns out to be a little more than a late reflection. After a resounding good fortune against Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega, he was mostly one of the many acts left behind when politics became really fierce behind the scenes in Jacksonville.
Shane McMahon (last week: 12): RAW Underground remained a fun addition to WWE’s flagship product on Monday night. But it looks less like Shane’s segment this week.
Cody (AEW): The TNT champion is most productive when he has a juicy situation in which to wet his teeth. His reign of the name TNT, however, was based on a series of matches in the ring without narrative. This isn’t where Cody shines.
Roman Reigns (WWE): The poster boy who intended to upgrade to Dinner absent from the COVID-19 era.
Shayna Baszler (WWE): I had Shayna draw after her star shift on RAW Underground. Unfortunately, she was also on SmackDown and looked like any other wrestler. She remains one of the most underutilized fighters on the list.
Adam Cole (NXT): I don’t like Cole’s dispute with the pseudo-celebrity Pat McAfee. Judging by the note, WWE enthusiasts agree.
Retribution (WWE): Loosely based on the ANTIFA movement, this angle is a wonderful WWE twist, and just as big. Can we all pretend this never happened?
Otis (WWE): I love the great man. But, for now, he is little more than a spectator watching the war of will between his beloved Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: 4
Analysis: There’s not much to do for the champion this week, other than running in the ring and going out in disgust towards Randy Orton. Fortunately, it didn’t take much play, it’s simple for anyone looking to feel disdain for the “Legend Killer” after a vile verbal attack on the old Ric Flair, who suddenly became physical.
The eventual fit between the two men has all the pieces to build something truly memorable. I can’t wait for McIntyre to continue to live up to the circumstances.
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 5
Analysis: After weeks of pretending to be Elite friends while secretly sewing dissensions between them, FTR has despite everything showing its true colors. Amid a rite of appreciation of the team that became a reproach consultation for an elderly man, Dax and Cash made the decision to attack the Rock and Roll Express, revealing that the injury that had supposedly led them to abandon their 12 players matched the situation. last week in Dynamite was fake.
The convoluted sound? Well, don’t mention it on Twitter if you don’t need 1000 answers to call your grandmother!
Whether it’s a smart narrative or not, the wrestling world speaks for itself. And that’s, to some extent, what it’s all about.
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: 6
Analysis: When writing the story of the “evolution” of WWE women’s wrestling, Bayley’s “Dos Straps” will be one of the central characters.
At NXT, she is an iconic bathroom, purer than falling snow, enjoyed through children, adults and probably pets. There’s no bath face dripping from his pores like Bayley did.
It’s glorious to see a white knight in a business that has turned decidedly gray.
For a while, she fought like a villain. No more. Old Bayley is slightly recognizable, his vile and stinging nature exposed to the total world.
And you know what?
It’s as amazing to see how Babyface Bayley has been.
Promotion: AEW
Last week: 3
Analysis: Orange Cassidy immobilized Chris Jericho’s shoulders against the canvas.
Yes, it’s Chris Jericho. The first champion of AEW. The first double WWE champion. Fozzy’s lead singer. The 1004 master holds on. The conqueror of “Stinko” Malenko.
The icon.
It’s not hard to believe the pop I would have had in an arena full of AEW fans. It was this ghost pop that earned Cassidy this job.
The time you can stay as the main player is an estimate. But for now, let’s marvel at the living in a time when Cassidy can become one of the most productive artists in combat while getting a little upset about trying.
Promotion: WWE RAW
Last week: 1
Analysis: Orton’s scathing promotion of his former friend and mentor Ric Flair joins the rest of his 2020 paintings as transparent evidence of man’s ability in the Hall of Fame. When active, no one in the company should fit Orton’s oratory skills, and right now he is as “active” as anyone else for years.
It’s CM Punk on its Pipe Bomb, only delivered week after week with an almost terrifying consistency.
At the moment, there’s no one near Orton’s level. Only when the bell rings does the hole narrow considerably. But not enough to make him more than just the professional wrestler of the world.
