3. The New Day

Last Rank: 4

Week Highlights: Got new unicorn hats.

The New Day continues their run of being the most consistently entertaining members on the WWE Roster.

The otherworldliness of their ability to captivate makes it easy to forget exactly whom they are currently feuding with, but as a catch-22, that’s hindering their prominence on any card they’ve been on of late. Since neither the Lucha Dragons or the Usos can play a symbiotic foil to the New Day—whether on the microphone or in the ring—there is little reason to care about their match at TLC outside of the possibility for some breathtaking, high-flying spots.

Think of it like this: Imagine if the Rock never existed, and Stone Cold was forced to defend the WWE Title against people like Jeff Jarrett or Ken Shamrock… yeah.

The New Day are so close to being great, but they need to face greatness first.

2. League of Nations

Last Rank: 1

Week Highlights: Existed at times. Still lead by the WWE World Heavyweight Champion

If the League of Nations was the name of a dish at a restaurant, that dish would be a USDA Prime steak with a side of potato chips. Chips are fine on their own, and some occasions definitely warrant the presence of chips, but by no means can chips noticeably enhance a delicious steak dinner; nor does the steak make the chips taste any better.

You can probably figure out who is what in that analogy, even if comparing Sheamus to a USDA Prime steak is a generous comparison for the Celtic Warrior. Regardless, Sheamus is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and right now he is one of the more well-rounded Superstars on the roster. He would be doing fine with or without the rest of the League of Nations. On the flip side, the other three members were floundering before forming the League of Nations and are still doing so now.

Are they dangerous? Eh, sometimes, but only when they’re not facing wrestlers named Roman Reigns (go figure). Yet between the four, they hold two championship belts—even if one those belts is quickly losing its prestige.

So technically the League of Nations is an important part of WWE right now, but the second Sheamus drops the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, the League of Nations will more than likely plummet out of relevancy.

Next: No. 1
