12. Mojo Rawley (last week: 13)

He may not be hype anymore, but Mojo Rawley is definitely a climber. Over the past several weeks, Rawley has made short work of what I’d call “super enhancement talent.” I don’t much like using the “J” word, but guys like No Way Jose and Tyler Breeze have a role to play, and they’re excelling in that role. And that makes others look better, like Rawley.

If you pay close attention to this week’s match, you’ll see that Breeze is the perfect opponent to show off Rawley’s skills. Breezy bounces around the ring like the love child of Dolph Ziggler and Shawn Michaels, so Rawley looks like the killer he can pull off from a character standpoint. As long as this little run continues, no one will remember Mojo’s keister-based offense from his time in NXT.

11. The B-Team (last week: 12)

New titles, same old B-Team. If you haven’t gotten aboard the Bo Train for these guys yet, what is your problem? The cosplay went away, but the attitude of “hey, we actually belong here” didn’t, so Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are on the best runs of their careers.

Seeing as how both men have been champions somewhere in WWE before (Dallas is a former NXT Champion; Axel is an Intercontinental Champion and a Tag Champ from back in the day), being in this spot shouldn’t change anything. They need to get through a title defense on the next episode of WWE Raw, but after that they should be in a great place.
