UNDERTAKER (7) The Phenom shocked Edge on SmackDown, popping out of the casket during the mock funeral. Reality is creeping up on Edge, who could see his World Title resting in peace in the hands of The Deadman this Sunday. |

The WWE Champion found himself on the wrong end of Ric Flair's Figure-Four on Raw, forcing him to tap out. Will Orton be tapping out to an STFU in Orlando? Or be out cold from a Pedigree? Don't count him out yet. |

HBK told Ric Flair he'd put him out of his misery in their Career Threatening Match at WrestleMania. What hurt worse, HBK? The slaps from your best friend, or the low blow from Nature Boy during the main event? |
9 | |
| 10 |
The Intercontinental Champion lost in tag action on Raw, but defeated United States Champion MVP on SmackDown. With past Money in the Bank experience, Y2J is one of the Academy's favorites to win at WrestleMania. |

With a Belfast Brawl on tap for the Irish bruiser at WrestleMania, sources say Finlay visited Hornswoggle in the hospital before flying to Orlando. Will the visit motivate, or enrage Finlay as he battles JBL? |

Could this be the last ever time we see the Nature Boy on the P25? It was a great moment to see Flair make Randy Orton tap out on Raw, but can the 16-time World Champion do the same to HBK in Orlando? |
18 | |
| 17 |
The Samoan Bulldozer grabbed a microphone for the first time on Raw, and issued a threat to Batista in Samoan. At least, we think it was ... it might have been his dinner order, for all we know... |

Last year, he promised to use the Money in the Bank briefcase to take the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXIV. He's only one Money in the Bank win away from making that promise a reality. |
16 | |
| 20 |
ECW's "Gold Standard" defeated Carlito in a Money in the Bank tune-up match. Look for the former Intercontinental Champion to surprise many with his ladder work at Money in the Bank. He's our dark horse. |

Jamaica must be proud of their native son, who continues his hot streak in WWE. This week, Kingston picked up a win in six-man tag action on SmackDown. Will he be left standing at the end of ECW's Battle Royal? |

Do You Agree?
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Undertaker should be No. 1. You people don't know what you're doing." - Shawn
The Academy replies: Edge is the champion; Undertaker is not. It's that simple. But that can change at WrestleMania XXIV.
"I can't wait until Chavo Guerrero loses the title and is out of the top 10." - Angela
The Academy replies: He certainly is faced with a tough challenge at WrestleMania, but it could end up working in his favor on the P25 if he manages to retain.
"Maria off the P25? What do you have against her?" - Corey
The Academy replies: It's not what we have against Maria, but rather what we have for Mark Henry, who belongs on this list. Maria can earn a spot again with the BunnyMania Match.
FAREWELL
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their position on the P25 this week:
Maria – Her team's loss in the Intergender Six-Man Tag Match on Raw dropped the Playboy cover model from the P25. If the Diva needs a sympethetic hug, the Academy voters are just a phone call away...
OTHERS EARNING VOTES
The following Superstar(s) also received votes from members of the Academy:
Santino Marella - The meddling Italian Superstar is on the radar with his win in six-man tag action this week on Raw.
Michelle McCool - It's down to the All-American Girl and Cherry in the SmackDown Diva Competition. Who'll win that custom chopper? Your votes decide...
