Hello everybody, and welcome back to another week of the WWE‘s Men’s Power Rankings. After another thrilling Saturday Night’s Main Event, the road to Summerslam is officially open. Summerslam is going to be an amazing card, and with two nights of action, you can bet that a lot of wild and zany things can happen. That being said, let’s get to this week’s list and see how stories have unfolded since last week. Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.

10. Bron Breakker:
Bron Breakker had a terrible RAW last week that ended up with him being tossed by a live-struck Otis. Maxine Dupri’s turn hurt Otis, and even though the rest of the Vision was there, Breakker got the blunt end of the stick. This week, he’ll look to pick himself back up, which he usually does by giving out spears.
9. Sami Zayn:
Sami Zayn lost his tag team match with Gunther on Saturday, after Rhodes pinned Gunther. That pissed Zayn off, but he’s not worried because he’s confident that he’ll have a shot at the title for SummerSlam. For now, he’ll most likely be on one or both of the live shows this week, to cry about it.
8. Trick Williams:
Trick Williams defended his U.S. Title in a match on Saturday Night’s Main Event against the Laredo Kid. In a high-paced match, Kid threw everything at Williams, including an amazing aerial move that looked like it would win him the match. However, Williams weathered that storm and got the one, two, and three in the end.
7. “Main Event” Jey Uso:
Jey and Jimmy Uso have been running roughshod around the WWE for months, which has led back to a feud with L.A. Knight. Even though they have Jacob Fatu on their side, Knight asked Royce Keys and Solo Sikoa to team with him against The Bloodline in a Six-man Tag team match at SummerSlam. I assume this match will be booked soon enough, but until then, you can expect some hands to be shared between these superstars. YEET!
6. Penta:
Penta has had some time off, but in the meantime, Chad Gable has been putting in work. Last week on RAW, Gable defeated five other superstars to cash his ticket to SummerSlam in an Intercontinental Championship Match against Penta. With the level these two are at right now, this could easily be the match of the night, and could even get Dave Meltzer out of his seat on this one.
5. Oba Femi:
Oba Femi couldn’t stand Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman running their mouths and decided to make himself known, regardless of security in the building. After some choice words and valid points, the segment was over. Going forward, I feel the next time these two meet will be from a blindside attack from Lesnar
4. Seth Rollins:
Seth “Freakin” Rollins didn’t have a match on Saturday, but he sure made himself useful by running his mouth and being in an altercation with the OTC. Of course, this was all fun and games, but now Rollins has to focus, or Reigns will retain his championship at SummerSlam.
3. C.M. Punk:
C.M. Punk won his match with Cody Rhodes on Saturday after defeating Gunther and Sami Zayn in their tag team match. After the match, Punk decided to gloat a little bit by throwing his championship belt over his shoulder, which ended up hitting Rhodes. That led to a heated face-off in the end while Punk just smirked about it.
2. Roman Reigns:
Roman Reigns did not have a match at SNME, but he did acknowledge Jalen Brunson by presenting a WWE-made championship belt for the NBA superstar. Of course, Seth Rollins intervened, which ended up not working out for him in the end. The OTC laid waste to those shenanigans, and then celebrated the moment with Brunson until they went off the air.
1. Cody Rhodes:
Cody Rhodes remains at the number one spot, even though he has no belt. Rhodes teamed up with C.M. Punk this weekend at SNME, in which the duo beat Sami Zayn and Gunther in the main event. Punk delivered his patented GTS, with Rhodes getting the pin soon after that. This made Rhodes look even stronger, even with the assist from the champion.
