Impact Wrestling Power Rankings: Is It Madison Rayne’s Time?
Another week of Impact Wrestling is in the books and the build to Slammiversary continues to escalate. Several of the feuds are heated, and the most underrated of them is the upcoming battle between Madison Rayne and Knockouts Champion Su Yung.
It’s time to take stock of the talent in Impact Wrestling with a top ten power rankings list. With Killer Kross imposing himself on the roster, DeAngelo Williams supporting Moose in his quest to dethrone Austin Aries as the Impact World Champion, and Brian Cage scheduled to take on Matt Sydal again for the X Division Championship, there’s no shortage of interesting storylines.
10. Eli Drake
While Eli Drake has eyes on Grado’s girlfriend Katarina Waters, he may need to keep his focus on Grado’s best friend, Joe Hendry. The two had quite the interaction last week, with Hendry stepping up to Drake, as Drake was trying to test Waters’s loyalty to Grado.
I’d love to see a match between Hendry and Drake at some point, but if Moose ends up beating Aries for the Impact World Title, Drake could be an early challenger. After all, he did beat Moose for the briefcase earlier this year.
9. Allie
It is rarely wise to pick a fight with Tessa Blanchard, but Allie is one of the few competitors who can stand a chance against Impact Wrestling’s “Diamond”. While Blanchard’s arrogance will certainly last “forever”, her grip on the Knockouts Division is non-existent.
Remember, she failed to beat Madison Rayne at Under Pressure, so he needs a win over Allie in a big way. Of course, Allie needs the W just as badly, because, as Tessa said it, her best friend is “dead”. (Well she isn’t actually dead, but it kind of seems that way…)
