Cool is turning cold as Carlito slides one more spot. At other times he's been in this position, he's responded and jumped back up the P25. Will he do the same this time around? |

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"HBK got the better of Cena on Raw. Why is he still ranked lower?" - Dave
The Academy replies: One instance of Sweet Chin Music doesn't override the WWE Championship. It's hard to deny the No. 1 spot to John Cena, going into this match.
"Ashley still isn't on there? What more does she have to do?" - Sharon
The Academy replies: She has to get that title! She's almost there; she just needs to cross that finish line.
"How much more does CM Punk have to win to break into the top 10?" - Rebecca
The Academy replies: He had a strong week, but remember King Booker did pin him. It's quite simple; if Punk feels like a million dollars on Sunday, he's in the money.
