WWE Raw Power Rankings: It’s the Ziggler and Rollins Show
By Bryan Heaton
10. Bobby Lashley
If Bobby Lashley never spoke, he’d probably be everyone’s favorite superstar. He’s big, strong, and totally capable in the ring. But, hoo boy, when he opens his mouth, it’s some of the worst television on the planet.
Even worse than his promo work lately is the fact that he just walked away from a fight this week. Yes, Roman Reigns treated Bob like a jerk, that’s indisputable. Still, wouldn’t a guy like Lashley want to do something as opposed to nothing? Instead of leaving Reigns to get his beating, wouldn’t a noble military man step in to save him — even if only to launch his own attack? Lashley’s booking has been just terrible since his return, and it doesn’t show signs of changing any time soon.
9. Nia Jax
The former Raw Women’s Champion got her contractually guaranteed rematch turned into an Extreme Rules match, so she’s definitely in a good place right now. You’d have to think the stipulation would favor Jax, because now she can let out all her aggression on Alexa Bliss without fear of disqualification.
In action this week, Nia withstood a smartly wrestled match by Mickie James — not to mention she had the foresight to bring Natalya to ringside as an equalizer. The women’s division on WWE Raw lately has been a mixed bag for a variety of reasons, but Nia has been a bright spot more often than not.
