WWE Raw Power Rankings: Forget Kingslayer, Seth Rollins is King

20. Titus O’Neil (last week: unranked)

Titus O’Neil used the momentum from his Greatest Royal Rumble appearance to slide into this week’s rankings. Oh, god, that was terrible, I’m sorry.

In a backstage promo, O’Neil showed that he was a good sport about the most GIF-able moment in the last 20 years before being interrupted by Baron Corbin. One good turn deserves another, though, so Titus made an appearance in Corbin’s match to settle the score.

It’s entirely possible that the whole slip/slide/pratfall thing is going to become really annoying really fast. WWE has never exactly been known for being subtle; they’ll beat you over the head with a lousy joke until you beg for mercy. But for now, it’s funny enough, and big man is getting a T-shirt out of the whole thing. So he definitely deserves to be in the Top 20 this week.

19. Natalya (last week: not ranked)

Also joining the rankings this week is the Queen of Hearts, who emerged victorious against Mickie James (knocking the six-time champ off the list in the process). The match was whatever, but it put Nattie in a position to be at very least adjacent to the top of the women’s division on Raw.

I still think the Natalya/Ronda Rousey “friendship” is going to spectacularly go wrong before too long. But until then, we’ll probably get at least a handful of tag matches from the two superstars, and those can’t be bad. Can they?
