WWE Power Rankings, Week of 4/3/17

The week after WrestleMania flew by, and it’s already time for another edition of the Get More Sports WWE Power Rankings, where we rank the top 25 Superstars that had the most impact or put on the best performances over the past week. With NXT call-ups this week and the Superstar Shake-up next week, this is definitely a fluctuating time for the rankings.

1. Roman Reigns (+1)
   At the start of Raw, Roman Reigns had the crowd in the palm of his hand. They booed him for ten minutes just so he could say five words.
2. Naomi (+3)
   The two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion retained her title against Alexa Bliss this past Tuesday, continuing her hot streak.
3. The Hardy Boyz (+5)
   Matt and Jeff Hardy made their return to Raw very successful by retaining the Raw Tag Team Championships against Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
4. Finn Balor (-)
   After winning the Universal Championship, Balor was sidelined from injury until this week. He immediately returned to the main event scene, teaming up with Seth Rollins to defeat Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens.
5. The Revival (+17)
   Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder were the first among a handful of NXT call-ups this week, and they defeated the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions of all time (The New Day) in their first main roster match.
6. Shinsuke Nakamura (-)
   The King of Strong Style made his long-awaited debut on the main roster, showing up on SmackDown. All he needed to do to make an impact was his iconic entrance.
7. Tye Dillinger (-)
   The last NXT call-up on this list was perhaps the most shocking of the week. The Perfect 10 was called up to SmackDown Live, where he defeated Curt Hawkins.
8. Randy Orton (+7)
   The Viper teamed up with an unlikely ally of Luke Harper to defeat Bray Wyatt and the returning Erick Rowan in the main event of SmackDown.
9. Brock Lesnar (+0)
   Lesnar, the Universal Champion, got the crowd excited when he called out Roman Reigns as well as when he had a confrontation with Braun Strowman.
10. Neville (+6)
    Neville picked up yet another win over Mustafa Ali this week and showed the world why he is the King of the Cruiserweights.
11. Bayley (-1)
    The Raw Women’s Champion actually picked up a victory this week, when Sasha Banks helped her team win against Nia Jax, Charlotte, and the returning Emma.
12. Sheamus & Cesaro (+12)
    The Celtic Warrior and the Swiss Superman took one step closer to the Raw Tag Team Championships by defeating Enzo Amore and Big Cass in a #1 Contender’s Match.
13. Seth Rollins (+0)
    Alongside Finn Balor, Rollins returned to full-time action and defeated Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens.
14. Baron Corbin (-)
    Corbin lost at WrestleMania but easily made up for that by defeating Dean Ambrose in a non-title street fight on SmackDown.
15. Nia Jax (+3)
    Charlotte was frustrated with Jax after their tag team loss, and Jax proceeded to destroy the four-time Raw Women’s Champion.
16. Emma (-)
    After months and months of anticipation, Emmalina finally returned to action, although it was in a losing effort.
17. Kevin Owens (-14)
    The United States Champion prevented Chris Jericho from competing on Raw by powerbombing him through a table backstage. In hindsight, that was a bad idea since he lost to Finn Balor.
18. Oney Lorcan (-)
    In a bit of a surprise, Lorcan had a big week. He debuted against Rich Swann on 205 Live, and he defeated El Vagabundo/Elias Samson on NXT the following night.
19. Elias Samson (-)
    Samson took a gimmick that was absolutely despised, threw a luchador mask on it, and instantly became adored by the crowd.
20. Austin Aries (-)
    Aries regained momentum and his spot in the Cruiserweight Championship title picture by winning a #1 Contender’s Fatal Four-Way Match on 205 Live.
21. Mustafa Ali (-)
    Even though he lost both of his matches this week, Mustafa Ali keeps impressing the WWE Universe by putting on great performances night after night.
22. AJ Styles (-21)
    Styles didn’t do much this week but he surprised fans by legitimately shaking Shane McMahon’s hand after their great WrestleMania match.
23. Heavy Machinery (-)
    For the second consecutive week, Otis Dozovic and Tucker Knight picked up a solid victory on NXT.
24. Luke Harper (-)
    Harper belongs in the main event scene, and he proved that yet again by picking up a win over his former family.
25. Akira Tozawa (-)
    The Stamina Monster finally got some payback on Brian Kendrick by using Kendrick’s own lessons against him to win their match on 205 Live.
