Hello everybody, and welcome back to another week of the WWE‘s Men’s Power Rankings. With Memorial Day being yesterday, I want to say thank you to everyone who has ever served in the military, including those who have paid the ultimate price. We could not have the freedoms we do now without your sacrifice.
We have the Clash in Italy this Sunday, May 31st, so these rankings could look different again afterward. For now, let’s get to this week’s list so I can get you caught up on what’s happening in the WWE. Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.

10. Gunther:
Gunther loves acting like a punk, and that gives us even more reasons to hate his character. From running his mouth backstage to losing a match for Sami Zayn, Gunther is set on chaos right now. Going forward, you can expect more of these shenanigans this week, with the Clash in Italy coming up this Sunday.
9. Seth Rollins:

Seth “Freakin” Rollins defeated Austin Theory last on Monday Night RAW, before being attacked by the Vision, again. This time, Rollins kept his eyes on Bron Breakker, who is his target right now. With another episode of RAW tonight, you can only expect this matter to get out of hand, once again.
8. Trick Williams:
Trick Williams had another non-title match, but this time it was against Carmelo Hayes. What started out as a segment for Lil Yachty and Williams quickly turned into a match after Hayes brought up how he was dirty when he lost his U.S. Title. For now, these two superstars seem to be on a collision course that could end with the same results if this match is won by Williams again.
7. Oba Femi:
Oba Femi issued an open challenge again this week, which was answered by the Beast Incarnate himself, Brock Lesnar. After laying waste to Femi, it looks clear that these two monsters are set to lock horns at Summerslam.
6. Penta:
Penta was one of the highlighted wrestlers this weekend at Saturday’s Night Main Event, in which he defended his Intercontinental Championship against “All Ego” Ethan Page. Penta won the match in what was the match of the night, in my opinion. With RAW on tonight, you can expect more banter from Page, even though he just lost to Penta.
5. “Main Event” Jey Uso:
Jey and Jimmy Uso have been getting beaten down by their cousin, Jacob Fatu, every single week. Even when Jey took a cheap shot, it still took Roman Reigns coming out to get the Samoan Werewolf off the Usos. This has not only made Fatu look strong in this build, but it also makes the Usos look weak in the process. That won’t be happening for long, so Fatu had better watch his back. YEET!
4. Bron Breakker:
Bron Breakker and the Vision decided to take it to Seth Rollins once again. However, this time Rollins was ready and was able to weather the storm and get in some licks on Breakker. Tonight is going to be a blast on Monday Night Rollins, and you can bet that Breakker will be the center of it.
3. C.M. Punk:
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 in the future.
2. Roman Reigns:
Roman Reigns and the Usos have their hands full with the Samoan Werewolf, right now. Practically like what’s going on with Rollins, we have going on with Fatu. The only difference is, of course, the title around Reigns’ waist. For me, this is all fun and games for now, but sooner or later, Breakker or Rollins might be coming for the title.
1. Cody Rhodes:
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 a Main Event match against Sami Zayn, who was up for some friendly fire. The two wrestlers put on an amazing match with some great spots, until Gunther showed up. Unfortunately for Zayn, this distraction worked against him, sealing the win for Rhodes.
