WWE Power Rankings for February 28

5. Tyson Kidd & Cesaro (+ LW: 8): Despite the spot they won their titles in, Kidd and Cesaro have done nothing but impress every week. They are two of the best in-ring performers in the company right now, and it hasn’t hurt that they are working with two great hands as well in the Usos. It is looking like there will be a rematch at WrestleMania between these two teams. I think creative missed the boat with a ladder match. I think the tag team titles on the line in a ladder match at WrestleMania is over due.
4. Bad News Barrett: (+ LW: 6) Barrett is in the middle of his most meaningful feud since the original Nexus feuded with John Cena. Barrett and Ambrose are money, and one of the most entertaining parts of Raw each week. With a 4-way ladder match scheduled for WrestleMania this may mark the end of Barrett’s title reign, but possibly not the end of the feud.
3. Dean Ambrose (+ LW: 5) : After Bad New Barrett recovered his stolen Intercontinental Championship Thursday night on SmackDown, Ambrose still found a way to leave the arena with the title, with a little help from R-Truth, and Dolph Ziggler. As announced today, this will lead to a 4-way ladder match at WrestleMania, between the 4 Super Stars. This more than likely will lead to the next big singles title push for Ambrose, and maybe a unification match for the United States Championship and IC title with Rusev. If Rusev can beat Cena again.
2. Rusev: (= LW: 2) The fact that Rusev is at a point where he is turning down challenges from John Cena, shows where they want him to go. It still seems painfully obvious that the match between Cena and Rusev is going to be an “I Quit” match. With Rusev turning down Cena’s challenge for a rematch it looks like it may be another over played, “John Cena will quit WWE,” angle may come into effect.
1. Roman Reigns: (= LW: 1) Despite being put in a tag team match with Daniel Bryan, AGAIN Reigns is still rolling. Still working on his mic skills, and being put in a battle of words with Paul Heyman might help the young star out. As we saw on Raw this week, the advocate for the Beat Incarnate is being placed in a spot to cut promos with Reigns in the ring. This may be a strategic move by WWE to help Reigns who has struggled to connect with the audience over the mic.
