8. Top 5 of the Week

 
Another first ever is here. I am doing Top 5 of the Week. This is something I will do Saturday or Sunday depending on when I have time. This list consists of the Top 5 Superstars and Top 5 Divas of the week. The lists are based off of wins, appearances on shows, outside WWE appearances, and storyline build up. Remember this is purely opinion and not based off of WWE's power rankings. So let's kick this off...

Top 5 Superstars:

5. Sheamus: Sheamus secures the #5 spot this week for me. He secured a win over Dolph Ziggler on Raw, one of the competitors in the chamber. And then he went on to attack R-Truth and King Barrett on Smackdown after the 2 had a match. So in total he pinned one of the competitors in the chamber and attacked 2 others in the chamber. Sheamus looks strong going into the Intercontinental Championship Chamber Match and shows a real threat.

4. John Cena: John Cena gets the #4 spot for me. He had yet another challenge for the U.S. Title in Zack Ryder. He secured the victory of Ryder, which adds another title defense under his belt. The reason why he made the list is because John Cena is the only champion who defends his title every week and has momentum heading into his match against Kevin Owens at Elimination Chamber.

3. Seth Rollins: Seth gets the #3 spot. Seth had 2 matches this week and they were the same match on Raw and Smackdown. It was Seth Rollins and Kane vs Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. He was pinned by his challenger, Dean Ambrose, on Raw and had a DQ loss on Smackdown. So apparently it looks like he has had a bad week. Not so fast. He managed to get Dean arrested on Raw and attacked Dean on Smackdown, closing the week with dominance. And add the fact that he is our WWE World Heavyweight Champion and looks somewhat strong heading into his match against Dean for the title.

2. Kevin Owens: Yeah Kevin got the #2 spot in my books. He was featured heavily this week, even only being in 1 match this week. On Raw after Cena retained his championship, he attacked the Cenation leader. He made another statement out of Cena and stood tall. Then on NXT he defeated Solomon Crowe. Then he got interviewed by Michael Cole on Smackdown, wasn't really much of an interview as Owens made it clear that he is not here to make friends, he is here to win and make statements out of everyone on the WWE Roster.

1. Dean Ambrose: Dean is the #1 guy this week. He was featured heavily this week in WWE. He pinned the WWE World Heavyweight Champion in a tag match on Raw. And then he went on to get arrested later in the night, but returned to the arena to lay out The Authority. Seth did get away from the attack, but Dean didn't get away from signing the contract to make their world title match official for Elimination Chamber. He then had a rematch on Smackdown and he got a DQ win, due to J&J Security getting involved. Dean did get laid out by Seth and Kane to end Smackdown, however we cant undermine that he did pin the champ, and that he could do it again at Elimination Chamber and become the NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Top 5 Divas:

5. Alexa Bliss: Alexa locks herself in the #5 spot due to her new character. Some may know, some may not, but I am a HUGE fan of Alexa Bliss (future wife). She turned heel back at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable and this would be the first time we would see the new character. She led Blake and Murphy out for their tag match against Elias Samson and Mike Rallis. And Oh.....My.....Gosh. She plays a mean heel. She dropped the signature blue color and has adopted red. She has new red gear and has red in her hair now. She looks amazing. Blake and Murphy won the match, but it was what happened after that made Alexa #5 of the week. After the match, Blake and Murphy set up Elias Samson to receive a Sparkle Splash from Alexa Bliss. That moment, not matter how small, shows that NXT lets their women have involvement with the men and lets the perfect their role as a valet. And it didn't stop there. Alexa had a backstage interview, the first promo from her as a heel. SHE DID AMAZING. She basically said that she is a winner and Blake and Murphy are winners too. She talks trash about Carmella saying she surrounds herself with trash and that she will send her back that dump of Staten Island next week. Alexa will have a match next week against Carmella and if Alexa's words meant anything, she will make a statement out of Carmella.

4. Emma: Emma get the #4 spot. Emma debuted a "new" theme song this week in her match against Bayley. She showed her true heel persona in this match more than ever. She was accompanied by Dana Brooke, and it seems these 2 have started an alliance as of late. She defeated Bayley with the Emma Lock. She and Dana Brooke would then attack Bayley post match, then Charlotte would come out to even the odds only to also get laid out by Emma and Dana. Emma showed true promise as a heel and showed her dominance now being back in NXT.

3. Tamina: Tamina is #3 this week. She had one match this week, but the match sparked question. Tamina faced Paige on Raw, and defeated the resident anti diva. Tamina pinned the "original" number one contender to the Divas Championship. Doesn't that make her a true contender if she beat Paige then? Most likely not, however it does show that Tamina is just as capable as Paige when it comes to being a threat to the Divas Title.

2. Nikki Bella: Nikki secures the #2 spot this week. Now our Divas Champion was on Raw doing commentary along with her twin sister, Brie. Nikki declared that "Naomi and Tamina are going to be sadly mistaken this Sunday" as to The Bella's saying that they run this division. Nikki closed the match by holding up her title without the slightest bit of fear. Then Nikki would have a match on Main Event against Summer Rae, defeating Summer in the process. Then on Smackdown, after Paige defeated Naomi, Nikki stood tall at the stage holding up the divas title smiling and clapping. Nikki looks ready for her title match at Elimination Chamber and doesn't show any fear, as she is your Fearless Divas Champion.

1. Paige: Paige is the #1 diva this week. Paige had a match on Raw, which she lost to Tamina. She would then have a sit down interview with Michael Cole declaring that she is going to become a 3x Divas Champion and that she will get revenge on Naomi. That revenge was certainly received on Smackdown as Paige defeated Naomi. Paige was the only diva this week, in the triple threat title match, to pin one of her competitors. That can not go unseen as she heads into Elimination Chamber in her hopes in becoming a 3x Divas Champion.
