12. Nia Jax (last week: 8)

Raw Women’s Champion or not, Nia Jax followed up a victory at Backlash by getting the night off on Raw. That’s less than ideal — you’d like your champions to at very least pop up backstage for something. Not being on the show at all is ludicrous, it would never happen. Especially on WWE Raw.

The Backlash victory over Alexa Bliss should hopefully close that chapter. And with the main focus of WWE being on the Money in the Bank event, there’s a decent chance Nia as champ may not be as prominently featured until after the pay per view. WWE needs to find a way to keep her relevant so the title stays important.

11. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre (last week: 13)

Ziggler and McIntyre may have only cut a cell phone promo last week, but this week they made up for it with a relatively easy victory over Heath Slater and Rhyno. While we didn’t get the exact kind of 3MB reunion we wanted, McIntyre beat Slater down like he was a bass drum en route to the victory.

I feel like a broken record saying this all the time, but Ziggler and McIntyre have become one of the most cohesive tag teams in all of WWE in just one month. Their tag chemistry is unbelievably good, considering the newness of the team. In fact, the only thing about them as a team that’s not especially great is the entrance — I am not a big fan of the record scratch, at least not for this super serious team.
