WATCH WRESTLING LIVE EVENTS


WWE's Top Superstars of last week.


1. This Week
EDGE

The Ultimate Opportunist knows what he's doing both in and out of the ring to get the advantage against his opponents. On SmackDown, he used this prowess to help Big Show beat John Cena.
1 (Last Week)

2.Triple H

After what happened to his wife Stephanie McMahon, and her brother Shane, at the hands of Randy Orton, the WWE Champion is on the warpath and will not rest until he gets revenge on the Legend Killer.

3.RANDY ORTON

It seemed as though the Legend Killer was right where The Game wanted him when he was trapped in the locker room area on Raw, but somehow Orton escaped both Triple H and his trusty sledgehammer.

4.JACK SWAGGER

Finally, the "All-American American" got the best of Christian on ECW, and it couldn't have come at a better time as Swagger was able to successfully defend his ECW Title against Captain Charisma.
6

5.JOHN CENA

After easily defeating Chavo Guerrero on Raw, John Cena lived up to his word and followed both Edge & Vickie Guerrero to SmackDown, only to be put on the losing end of a match against Big Show.

6.UNDERTAKER

In a surprising turn of events, The Deadman lost to Vladimir Kozlov on SmackDown, keeping Kozlov undefeated in singles matches and leaving us wondering what will happen if the two face off at 'Mania.

7.VLADIMIR KOZLOV

After being handpicked as a possible opponent for Undertaker at WrestleMania by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero, the Moscow Mauler made his point by pinning 'Taker on Friday.
8

8.MATT HARDY

Even after he attacked his own brother last week on SmackDown, Matt's wish for a match against his brother this week did not happen since Jeff Hardy refused to engage in combat against his own flesh and blood.

9.JEFF HARDY

Despite everything that Matt has put him through in the last several weeks, Jeff would not let his brother goad him into a fight even after repeated insults and two slaps across the face.
7

10.REY MYSTERIO

After pulling out an upset victory over Mike Knox the previous week and being the last man Eliminated in the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out, The Master of the 619 took a break from in-ring action this week.

11.CM PUNK

Last year, the Straightedge Superstar walked out of WrestleMania as "Mr. Money in the Bank," and on Raw, the Intercontinental Champion earned the chance to repeat last year's success.
14

12.SHAWN MICHAELS

Even though Vladimir Kozlov attacked him after his match against JBL on Raw, Mr. WrestleMania did what he needed to this week to move one step closer to facing Undertaker at WrestleMania.
13

13.FINLAY

With no match this week, the Irishman drops two spots on the P25 and will continue to drop down the list if he doesn't get back into his fighting spirit and enter the ring next week.
11

14.THE MIZ & JOHN MORRISON

The World Tag Team Champions had a bad week. Both men lost the opportunity to face-off in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in the Triple Threat on Raw, and then losing to Carlito & Primo on SmackDown.
12

15.CODY RHODES & TED DiBIASE

Both Rhodes & DiBiase were unfortunate enough to find out what it feels like to get hit with Triple H's sledgehammer first hand, but Orton's "Legacy" survived Raw and escaped the chase of The Game.
15

16.MELINA

Surround yourself with good people. It's a lesson learned by the Women's Champion. She teamed with Cryme Tyme's JTG & Shad on Raw to defeat Beth Phoenix, Santino Marella & Dolph Ziggler.
18

17.JOHN "BRADSHAW" LAYFIELD

The self-procliamed "wrestling god" looked like anything but this week. Thanks to his loss to Shawn Michaels on Raw, he saw yet another WrestleMania moment slip through his fingers.
16

18.KANE

Kane's pummeling of Jamie Noble last week looked even more impressive this week in light of Mike Knox's victory over Noble. It took Knox almost twice the amount of time to win compared to Kane's 15 seconds.
19

19.BETH PHOENIX

Unfortunately for The Glamazon, she was on the losing end of a Six-Person Tag Team Match thanks to her beau Santino Marella, who got pinned by Women's Champion Melina's teammate, Shad, of Cryme Tyme.
17

20.MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER

SmackDown's Franchise Playa may not have had a match this week, but his presence at ringside distracted United States Champion Shelton Benjamin enough to foster a loss for the Gold Standard.
21

21.CARLITO & PRIMO

With a win over World Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz, the WWE Tag Team Champions not only jump back on the list at No. 21, but they also got to leave ringside with the Bella Twins.
NR

22.BOOGEYMAN

The Creature from the Bottomless Pit avenged his loss against Paul Burchill last week by distracting him during his match against Tommy Dreamer, allowing the ECW Original to pick up the W.
20

23.CHRIS JERICHO

We do not approve of Chris Jericho's actions in recent weeks, including his despicable actions on Raw against 2009 Hall of Fame inductee, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. Not that Jericho gives a toss.
23

24.CHRISTIAN

After seemingly having ECW Champion Jack Swagger right where he wanted him, Christian picked up his first loss since his return to WWE. Unfortunately it was when the ECW Title was on the line.
22

25.MARYSE

The Divas Champion is taking her chances with the kindness of the Academy. Despite not making an appearance on SmackDown, Maryse managed to keep her position at No. 25 by the skin of her ultra-white teeth.
