My Power 25- Week of 9/16/12-9/22/12

This week was a hard one to place because of Eve winning the Diva's Championship and Kane and Daniel Bryan winning the Tag Team Championships. I decided to put Kane and Daniel Bryan together on the Power 25.

#25 Dew McIntyre (LW=Unranked)

 

Drew McIntyre debuts on the Power 25 after defeating Jinder Mahal on Superstars. He then joined Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater in a beat down on Brodus Clay.

#24 Kaitlyn (LW=19)

Kaitlyn did not get a chance to cash in on her championship match. She was attacked and ended up tearing a tendon in her foot. She is going to be out of action for the next couple of weeks and will most likely drop off of the Power 25 next week.

#23 Ted DiBiase (LW=Unranked)

Ted DiBiase returned from injury at Night of Champions to participate in the pre-show battle royal. He then defeated JTG on Superstars.

#22 R-Truth and Kofi Kingston (LW=18)

R-Truth and Kofi Kingston loss the WWE Tag Team Championships to Kane and Daniel Bryan at Night of Champions. They then lost their rematch to the Tag Team Champions on RAW.

#21 Prime Time Players (LW=22)

The Prime Time Players beat The Usos on Smackdown.

#20 Wade Barrett (LW=24)

Last week Wade Barrett told the WWE Universe that he was going to make a statement. He did just that by beating his former Nexus and Corre teammate, Justin Gabriel.

#19 Cody Rhodes (LW=23)

Cody Rhodes lost the fatal four way at Night of Champions, but he showed that it did not bother him by beating Daniel Bryan on Smackdown. 

#18 The Miz (LW=21)

Not only did Miz retain his Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions, but he introduced his new talk show, Miz TV.

 

#17 Eve Torres (LW=20)

 

Eve got her opportunity when Kaitlyn was struck with an injury before her match at Night of Champions. Eve took advantage of the situation and beat Layla for the Diva's Championship. She also beat Beth Phoenix on RAW. Now the only question is, "Who attacked Kaitlyn?"

#16 Layla (LW=14)

Layla was not ready for her match with Eve and she lost the Diva's Championship. She did try to retain herself by beating Natalya on Smackdown.

#15 Zack Ryder (LW=15)

 

Zack Ryder won the pre-show battle royal, but did not succeed in capturing the United States Championship at Night of Champions. He then lost to Damien Sandow on RAW.

#14 Antonio Cesaro (LW=17)

 

Antonio Cesaro defended his United States Championship against Zack Ryder at Night of Champions. He then let an argument with Aksana cost him a match against Santino Marella on Smackdown.

#13 Santino Marella (LW=16)

Santino started off the week slow with a loss to Dolph Ziggler. He then had a huge upset when he beat the United States Champion, Antonio Cesaro, on Smackdown.

#12 Ryback (LW=11)

Ryback did not have any action this week, but he did make a statement. He destroyed the set on the debut episode of Miz TV. The Miz better watch out or else he will be feeding his Intercontinental Championship to Ryback.

#11 Brodus Clay (LW=13)

The Funkasaurus had a pair of wins this week against Heath Slater on RAW and Smackdown.

     

#10 Damien Sandow (LW=12)

Damien Sandow had a two wins this week. He defeated Zack Ryder on RAW and Kane on Smackdown.

#9 Kane and Daniel Bryan (LW=8 and 10)

Kane and Daniel Bryan beat R-Truth and Kofi Kingston at Night of Champions and then again on RAW. They had a slight bump when Kane lost to Damien Sandow and Daniel Bryan lost to Cody Rhodes due to the others interference on Smackdown. At the end of the night on Smackdown they were able to put asides their differences and beat Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow. They now accept the other as a tag team champion and Kane is going to Disneyland.

#8 Sin Cara (LW=7)

Sin Cara was the unfortunate one and took the pin during the Intercontinental Fatal Four Way match at Night of Champions. He did redeem himself when along with Rey Mysterio, he beat Primo and Epico.

#7 Dolph Ziggler (LW=6)

Ziggler did not win his Night of Champions match against Randy Orton. He then beat Santino Marella on RAW, but also lost a tag team contest with Alberto Del Rio against Randy Orton and Sheamus.

#6 Rey Mysterio (LW=9)

Rey Mysterio was not able to obtain the Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions. He did manage to beat Epico and Primo with his partner Sin Cara.

#5 CM Punk (LW=4)

CM Punk did retain his WWE Championship at Night of Champions, but only because the match ended up in a draw. Then on RAW, along with Alberto Del Rio, he lost a tag team match against John Cena and Sheamus and he was the one who got pinned.

#4 Alberto Del Rio (LW=2)

Again, Del Rio failed in his quest to become the World Heavyweight Champion. He then also lost a tag team match on both RAW and Smackdown with CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler as his partners. 

#3 John Cena (LW=5) 

John Cena was cheated out of his WWE Championship by a reversed decision by the referee. He then pinned CM Punk in the tag team main event on RAW. With his injury, will John Cena be able to stay at the top of the Power 25?

#2 Randy Orton (LW=3)

Randy Orton had a huge week. It started off with a win over Dolph Ziggler at Night of Champions. He then beat Tensai for the second week in a row on RAW. On Smackdown, he teamed with Sheamus to beat Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler.

#1 Sheamus (LW=1)

 For the fourth week in a row, Sheamus is on top of the Power 25. He defeated Alberto Del Rio at Night of Champions to retain his World Championship. He then teamed with John Cena on RAW and beat Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk. He finished out the week teaming with Randy Orton on Smackdown and beating Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler.

Goodbye: These Superstars were unable to retain their spots on the Power 25.

Jerry Lawler (#25): After suffering a heart attack on last weeks show. He did not appear on this weeks show.
