WWE Raw Power Rankings: Seth Rollins is Amazing on Four Continents
By Bryan Heaton
4. Finn Balor (last week: 1)
Staying on top of the rankings proved too much to handle for Finn Balor, as he tumbles down a bit. He’s still in the top 5, which is great. And he’s set for a big match in a few weeks, as one of the participants in the Money in the Bank ladder match. So he’s doing okay for himself.
It’s hard to take Balor seriously, though, when he briefly turned into a projectile weapon for his tag partner for the week, Braun Strowman. Balor is a terrific competitor, and the tag match was a pleasant surprise (Balor and Ziggler in the ring together? nice). We’ll see what Balor does over the next few weeks, as MITB draws closer.
3. Sasha Banks (last week: 4)

The Boss is definitely legit. The slow play of the “feud” with Bayley has gotten out of the “DO IT ALREADY” phase, and is now simmering along nicely.
The big blowoff has to be at SummerSlam in Barclays Center — that’s their building — so it’s nice to see the booking taking its time to really develop the relationship.
And Sasha’s in-ring ability can’t be understated. She’s one of the best in the ring, male or female, and is the MVP (or a close second) in just about every match she’s in.
While it would be great to see her compete in the ladder match at MITB, there’s more she can do for the division without risking her life to do a ridiculous spot off a ladder (come on, you know she’d do something silly in that match).
