WWE Raw Power Rankings: Braun Strowman Flattens Competition

20. Mickie James

I was torn here between Mickie James and Natalya, because both women had plenty of chances to shine in Raw‘s main event. But ultimately, despite Nattie working slowly towards an inevitable Ronda Rousey feud, I can’t ignore the fantastic heel work of Mickie James.

Mickie is the veteran glue holding the heels together in the women’s division. For as much of an afterthought she was as a babyface, she’s got the intangibles of evil down pat. Just watch her facial expressions during this contest. And based on the finish of the match, she’s likely going to get a chance to go with Rousey in the very near future. That’s enough to crack our Top 20.

19. Jinder Mahal

When the Maharaja left Raw in the 2017 Superstar Shake-up, he was little more than enhancement talent. But after being the runner up in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, he went to SmackDown and almost immediately became WWE Champion.

Now Mahal is back on Raw and has yet to win a match in two weeks. He dropped the US Title in his first night on his new show, and did little more than whine about it. Then this week he basically bullied Chad Gable into a match, cheated to gain the early advantage, and couldn’t put the tag team specialist away in a singles match. So basically, Jinder reverted to his old Raw form.
