My Power 25- Week of 9/2/12-9/8/12

This week a champion decided to take a personal day, a dancer gets suspended, and two superstars with anger problems must hug it out. How do these affect the power 25? Since this is my second week I will include the last weeks ranking with a LW=?.

#25 Epico and Primo (LW=23)
Epico and Primo did not have a very successful week.  They lost to the tag team champions, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth on Superstars and then the lost a number one contender match against the Prime Time Players and the Usos where they were the team that took the pinfall. The only reason that they are still on the Power 25 is the lack of other unranked superstars getting a win. 

#24 Jinder Mahal (LW=22)

Jinder Mahal lost to Ryback on RAW this week. With another loss he may be off the Power 25. 

#23 Eve Torres (LW=Unranked)
Eve beat Kaitlyn, the number one contender to the Diva's championship on RAW this week. The rumor is that Eve was originally suppose to win the battle royal two weeks ago, but the ending was botched. If Eve can get herself into the title match she may be able to go up even farther.

#22 Wade Barrett (LW=Unranked)
Wade Barrett returned on Smackdown and squashed Yoshi Tatsu. He will  be looking forward to regaining his momentum in the WWE.
#21 Kaitlyn (LW=17)
Kaitlyn lost to Eve Torres on this week's RAW. She is not showing any improvement since winning the number one contender's battle royal. She better hope for a win next week to get some momentum going into Night of Champions. 

#20 Kofi Kingston and R-Truth (LW=21)
Kingston and R-Truth beat Epico and Primo on this week's Superstars. Due to Kofi showing up this week he was added into R-Truth's spot. 

#19 The Miz (LW=19)
The Miz showed off his many talents on RAW when he took Jerry Lawler's spot at the announcing table. He did lose a tag team match against Sin Cara and  Rey Mysterio. His partner was Cody Rhodes.

#18 Prime Time Players (LW=21)
With one of the biggest jumps in the week, Darren Young and Titus O'Neil come in at number 18. They became the number one contenders to the tag team titles after beating Epico and Primo and The Usos in a triple threat tag team match.

#17 Santino Marella (LW=14)
After putting up a valiant effort, Santino cannot get it done against Antonio Cesaro and regain his United States Championship.

#16 Layla (LW=16)
Layla beat Natalya on Monday Night RAW. Could this momentum help her to defeat Kaitlyn at Night of Champions next Sunday?

#15 Antonio Cesaro (LW=18)
Antonio Cesaro retained his United States championship against Santino Marella. Who will be the person that will be able to dethrone him?

#14 Zack Ryder (LW=15)
Zack Ryder defeated Heath Slater on RAW. On Smackdown he was originally beaten by Daniel Bryan until the official reversed the decision because Daniel could not control his anger problems. 

#13 Brodus Clay (LW=11)
  
Brodus Clay did not compete in any matches this week. Cameron getting suspended could ultimately affect his spot on the Power 25. 

#12 Ryback (LW=13)
Ryback continues his winning streak this week by beating Jinder Mahal. If Ryback can compete against better opponents and still win, he could find himself at the top of the Power 25. 

#11 Daniel Bryan (LW=9)
Daniel Bryan could have been moving up in the Power 25, but he let his anger problems get the better of him. After he defeated Zack Ryder with the no lock he would not let go, so the referee had no choice but to disqualify him resulting in him losing the match.

#10 Damien Sandow (LW=10)
Damien Sandow had an up-and-down week. He started off the week by beating Alex Riley on Superstars, but he got beaten by Randy Orton on Smackdown. 

#9 Kane (LW=8)
Kane did not compete in a match this week, but he did compete in a hug. Since Daniel Bryan was the first to hug, that could be considered a loss to Kane and drops one spot. 

#8 Sin Cara (LW=12)
Sin Cara can be considered this week's MVP. He teamed with Rey Mysterio on  RAW and Smackdown beaten Cody Rhodes and Tensai and Cody Rhodes and Miz. He then defeated Michael McGillicutty on the Saturday Morning Slam. 

#7 Rey Mysterio (LW=7)
Rey Mysterio teamed with Sin Cara to beat two formidable opponents on RAW and Smackdown. Due to the circumstance of who is above him, he is not able to move up in the rankings. 

#6 Randy Orton (LW=5)
Randy Orton unfortunately lost to Dolph Ziggler on RAW, but he was able to defeat Damien Sandow on Smackdown. Randy now needs to watch out for his old nemesis Wade Barrett, who made his return this week. 

#5 John Cena (LW=4)
 It may have been because of CM Punk's interference, but a loss is a loss and John Cena loss to Alberto Del Rio on RAW this week in their falls count anywhere match. 

#4 Dolph Ziggler (LW=6)
Dolph Ziggler, Mr. Money in the Bank, had a huge win this week against Randy Orton on RAW. Can Ziggler have another huge win this upcoming week?

#3 CM Punk (LW=2)
You read that correctly, CM Punk dropped a spot. This week he decided to take a personal day on RAW to celebrate Labor Day and it cost him in the Power 25 rankings. After not fulfilling his duties to wrestle against Sheamus, he then got the help of Paul Heyman to cost John Cena his match against Alberto Del Rio. 

#2 Alberto Del Rio (LW=3)
Alberto managed to defeat John Cena in a falls count anywhere match that was sanctioned by AJ Lee due to the help of CM Punk. Even with the shaky win, it is enough to put him at number 2 in the rankings.

#1 Sheamus (LW=1)
Sheamus finds himself on top of the Power 25 for the second week in a row.  After he was suppose to challenge CM Punk, he ended up beating Jack Swagger instead. Then on Smackdown he was able to defeat David Otunga. His Brogue Kick may be banned, but that does not look like it will be stopping Sheamus any time soon. 

Goodbye: These superstars were unable to retain their positions on the list

AJ Lee (25): AJ did not compete in a match or slap anyone this week. The only thing she did that was worth a note was that she had a meltdown in the middle of the ring. 

Jerry Lawler (24): He got beat up by CM Punk at the beginning of RAW and was not cleared to be able to announce. His not showing up cost him his spot on the Power 25.
