Hello everybody, and welcome back to another week of the WWE’s Men’s Power Rankings. With the Clash in Italy PLE next week on Sunday, May 31st, you can expect a new face on these rankings. That wrestler was on this list for a very long time before coming back and making a statement. Who is that wrestler? You’ll see soon enough. With that being said, let’s get to this week’s list after what turned out to be a great PLE. Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.

Making his return to the list at number 10 is none other than the number one-ranked wrestler to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. That happened when Gunther defeated Royce Keys on SmackDown last week. This match will take place at the Clash in Italy, where Rhodes should most likely retain.
WWE wrestler and Chicago Bears fan Seth Rollins taunts the crowd before announcing the team’s selection with the 56th overall pick during the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday, April 25, 2025, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The draft runs through April 26.

Seth “Freakin” Rollins makes his triumphant return to my list by taking over the ninth spot, while pushing Logan Paul out of the top 10. After losing to Bron Breakker at Backlash, Rollins was looking for some revenge on RAW last week, but couldn’t find any, as the Street Profits and he were beaten to a pulp by the Vision.
Trick Williams had a non-title match against the Miz, who still seems to be cursed by Danhausen. Regardless, Williams didn’t need much help to dispatch the Miz, leading to another victory for him.
Oba Femi issued an open challenge again this week, which was answered by Los Garza. Los Garza decided to bring Angel and Berto to the ring with him, which made the match a handicap match. That didn’t match as Femi destroyed them all and left them all lying in the ring.
Penta came out on RAW last week and called out Ethan Page for being a thorn in his side. The two bickered back and forth before Rusev had had enough. After Rusev interrupted them both, he turned his attention toward Page by saying he’s the one who carried them in their tag team match last week. After putting Page in his place, Je’Von Evans came out to complicate the Intercontinental Championship scene even more.

Jey and Jimmy Uso have been up to their usual stuff, like backing up Roman Reigns and kicking some butt in their matches. However, Jacob Fatu had been beating them down pretty easily, which u feel is going to lead to Jey doing something outrageous, eventually. YEET!
Bron Breakker and the Vision kicked off Monday Night RAW last week to run their mouths, like usual. Instead of Rollins coming out, Joe Hendry and the Street Profits came out to sit them up. Unfortunately for them, they ended up getting beaten down after the match by Breakker and the Vision.
C.M. Punk lost his World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns in the main event at Wrestlemania. After cutting a promo with Reigns, he decided to say some things to Cody Rhodes, who seems to be Punk’s next target. While he was leaving the ring and walking up the ramp, Rhodes spoke up and told Punk he could have a shot anytime he wanted. Since then, Punk hasn’t been on T.V. much, but you can expect him back at some point soon.

Roman Reigns and the Usos decided to have an acknowledgment ceremony in RAW last week that was brutally ended by Jacob Fatu. After Fatu laid out the Usos, he turned his attention toward Reigns, who used a chair to subdue the raging werewolf. That only worked for a few moments, because after that, Fatu got the upper hand and put Reigns through a table.
Cody Rhodes is the number one, pound-for-pound, wrestler in the world, and whether you love or hate it, I’m right. Rhodes had it easy last week, but he still had to put up with some antics from Gunther. While they were getting ready to sign their contract for their match at Clash in Italy, Royce Keys came out and challenged Gunther to a number one contender’s match. Of course, Gunther won that match, meaning this week, Rhodes will most likely have to put up with some crap from Gunther for the next two weeks.
