| This Week | Movement | Superstar | Last Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
BOBBY LASHLEY (12) After a one week hiatus, the ECW World Champion returns to the No. 1 spot with a two-win week. |
2 | |
| 2 |
BATISTA (5) No one can argue that he has not been a fighting champion. Batista made sure Mr. Kennedy knows his place, but now The Animal has darker things on his mind. |
3 | |
| 3 |
JOHN CENA (2) He's still champion… and champion… but he was out of action, opening the top two spots for the other champions in this close race. |
1 | |
| 4 |
This was a big week for The Showstopper, as he got his WWE Championship opportunity. Now, will he make the most of it? |
4 | |
| 5 |
He has been one of the hottest WWE Superstars in the past few months. His success continues as he bested the legendary Ric Flair. |

| 6 |
It was a quiet week for the United States Champion, but is that just the calm before a rabid rampage? |

| 8 |
Have you ever seen a man have such an influence on all three champions without even battling them? Overwhelming The Miz helps him move up further on the P25. |
10 | |
| 9 | 7 | ||
| 10 |
Kennedy falls after another unsuccessful run at the World Heavyweight Championship. He still remains in the top 10 because – let’s face it – we know he’s not all talk. |
8 | |
| 11 |
King Booker stays at No. 11 for now, but that will change for better or worse when he deals with that Big Red peasant Machine. |
11 | |
| 12 |
RVD's match against Elijah Burke didn’t go his way, but he and the Originals got the last word in on ECW on Sci Fi. |
12 | |
| 13 |
He sure is getting to King Booker. Could that take him to the top 10 when all is said and done? |
14 | |
| 14 | 13 | ||
| 15 |
Circumstance helped the giant improve during his night off from the ring. Will he take matters into his own hands next week? |
16 | |
| 16 |
Like CM Punk, Test also feels the consequences of a night without a match. Will he rebound after from those matches against Bobby Lashley? |
15 | |
| 17 | 24 | ||
| 18 |
Despite his loss to Jeff Hardy, Flair improves thanks to some help around him. He’s at No. 18 now, but he certainly isn’t the type that will go out easily. |
19 | |
| 19 | 17 | ||
| 20 |
He's still a force, but it was a rough week for Nitro. His loss to Super Crazy drops him to No. 20. |
18 | |
| 21 |
The WWE Tag Team Champions fall after another loss to Deuce & Domino. Will they be able to maintain their P25 status? |
20 | |
| 22 |
After letting an Extremist come to Raw and push him around, Dykstra drops a spot. Still, you have to give him some credit for going up against the ECW World Champion. |

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Batista at No. 2? He shouldn’t even be No. 3. HBK has been on fire!" - Arn
The Academy replies: Batista is the World Heavyweight Champion and he defended it multiple times in the past few weeks. HBK could get there soon, but he still needs to win that WWE Championship.
"How is CM Punk still that high? It’s been a while since his last win." - Vick
The Academy replies: You have a point, but he also hasn’t lost too many matches overall. That definitely counts for something.
"Did Deuce & Domino really jump seven spots? That’s groovy!" - Amy
The Academy replies: We think the same thing. These guys could probably take out the Sharks and the Jets at the same time.
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Hardcore Holly - His loss to Lashley casts him off of the list, but he’ll gladly take that in trade for the beating the ECW World Champion took afterward.
Montel Vontavious Porter - MVP falls off the P25 during his recuperation period. When he’s ready, though, there could be hell to pay.
OTHERS EARNING VOTES...
The following Superstar(s) also received votes from members of the Academy:
Super Crazy - He may be one win away from giving the P25 a crazy look. That was an impressive victory over Johnny Nitro.
Finlay - His win against The Boogeyman reminds SmackDown fans that he loves to fight.
Matt Striker - The Academy recognizes how your teacher excelled in his new roles on ECW on Sci Fi.
