WWE Raw Power Rankings: Roman Reigns Vs. ‘Entitled Piece Of Crap’
By Warren Hayes
Another edition of Raw means another set of WWE Raw Power Rankings! Why don’t we get crazy and include Elimination Chamber results as well?
Gentle reader, I return again this week with my Power Rankings for the February 26, 2018, edition of Monday Night Raw. I hope you are all excited to see what I have in store this time around.
It’s kind of difficult to do WWE Raw Power Rankings without taking the Elimination Chamber PPV into consideration. And since I know you don’t want difficult times to befall me, I’ll just go right ahead and take EC-related events into consideration.

#10 Bayley
All around the Internet Wrestling Community™, the question everyone is asking is: “Did Bayley turn heel at Raw?” when in fact, the question should be: “Are we finally seeing NXT Bayley back?”
I would argue that for the past couple of weeks, we have. I would even go as far as to say that Bayley refusing to tag Sasha in on Monday was a logical progression into regaining the #1 Hugger that captured our minds just two years ago in NXT. And this is what I am most excited about: having kickass supermega babyface Bayley back. One can only hope her booking can continue on this upswing.

#9 Asuka
The Empress of Tomorrow had a great couple of nights, didn’t she? She was able to squeeze out a win against Nia Jax and got the pin for her team on Raw after an excellent sequence with Mickie James.
But it doesn’t feel like she’s on top of the world, yet. Her win at Elimination Chamber felt a little contrived, having spent most of the match getting brutalized, putting Nia’s power over.
I understand and appreciate that what makes Asuka great is that she wins competitive matches out of endurance, slyness, and skill. And I also get that it’s good for all the women’s division to have a strong Nia Jax. But the past few days haven’t been shining moments for her despite her wins. Let’s see how the booking progresses.
