Power to the wrestlers. At some point, every wrestling fan has had some kind of a debate about which wrestler is better. This is as old as the wrestling business itself and will be around forever. Sometimes you get something interesting out of these arguments but it’s rare to have the wrestling companies actually give their own stance outside of the title picture. It happens every now and then though and WWE has done it again.
On its Instagram page, WWE has released its latest weekly Power Rankings. The company releases these every now and then, normally with their bigger versions coming out after the Big Four pay per views. The rankings include both superstars from Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live with both male and female wrestlers along with a tag team. These are dated through this week’s SmackDown Live.
Here’s how the #1 choice got their spot:
Opinion: I’m not sure on the idea of having Charlotte at #1 as she lost the big match against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series. Other than that though, these aren’t the most logical things in the world. I’m not sure how AJ Styles and Seth Rollins aren’t on there either, as Rollins is still a top star and the Intercontinental Champion and Styles is less than two weeks removed from being WWE Champion for a year. Then again, WWE has a tendency to make some questionable choices in these things.
What do you think of these rankings? Who should have been on the top of the list? Let us know in the comments below.
