WWE Raw Power Rankings: The No-Show Edition
By Warren Hayes
We come together for another week of WWE Raw Power Rankings. How well did the superstars who bothered to show up fare?
Friends, colleagues, potential creditors, it is time once again for my weekly WWE Raw Power Rankings.
It was an edition of Raw that sticks out mostly for what we didn’t get more than what we did . A couple of good moments slathered in a lot of talk made for, in his wrestling pundit’s humble yet also not-so-humble opinion, a middling edition of the Red brand. For the second week in a row. You’d think the Road to WrestleMania would be full of twists and turns instead of a leisurely path.
Let’s get right to it!

10. Sasha Banks & Bayley
Okay, so Sasha and Bayley are sharing the number 10 position this week because of how linked they are in this week’s edition of “Will They/Won’t They.”
First and foremost, if Bayley didn’t want to go to the ring, why did she? She looked so miserable being there, it was like seeing myself when my mother would drag me to church on Sundays.
And if Sasha is so determined to save their friendship, maybe doing something a little more than just meekly asking for a hug would be a good way to go?
It’s time for WWE Creative to pull the trigger on this heel turn, whoever it may be.

9. The Miz
Miz is really good when he tries to be a weasel.
True to himself, he invited Seth and Finn to an interview on his Miz TV segment and attempted to get his two WrestleMania opponents to fight each other. Seth and Finn may have been onto his tactic, but the moment devolved nonetheless into a singles match between the two.
But at this stage of the feud, Miz needs to be positioned a little stronger. He’s taken defeats and he’s been dodging straight up confrontations (and we love him for it, don’t get me wrong), so he doesn’t exactly radiate competition for Bálor and Rollins. Sure, the cowardly heel thing is his… thing (check out my vocab, children) but heading into the biggest PPV of the year, you kind of want things (words!) to be tenser.
