Two-timer! For the second year in a row, CM Punk walked out of WrestleMania with the briefcase in hand containing a future World Title Match. Now, we just have to wait and see when he's going to cash it in. |

We would not want to have a run in with The World's Largest Athlete. After his WrestleMania loss, he appears anything but happy, and he showed it in his match against Kofi Kingston on SmackDown. |

Unfortunately for The Big Red Monster, the briefcase ended up just out of his grasp. As he plummeted from the ladder, he watched CM Punk become "Mr. Money in the Bank" for the second year in a row. |

The Women's Champion has reason to be proud. On Raw, she lead four other Raw Divas to victory on their home turf over five SmackDown Divas lead by Divas Champion Maryse. Take that, SmackDown Divas! |

ECW's high-flying Superstar picked up another win this week, this time in a Six-Man Tag Team Match with Unified Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo. As Carlito might say... pretty cool. |

Despite not being able to win the honor of becoming the first-ever "Miss WrestleMania," Gail Kim has had an incredible past few weeks and has her eyes set on the Divas Championship. |

On Raw, the Diva's Champion lead her team of SmackDown Diva's in battle against a team of Raw Divas. In the end, however, the home team left triumphant after Mickie James pinned Natalya. |

The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their position on the P25 this week:
John "Bradshaw" Layfield - After the Intercontinental Championship loss to Rey Mysterio at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, JBL quit on the spot, hanging up his boots for good.
Mark Henry - The World's Strongest Man falls off the P25 this week after leaving WrestleMania empty- handed and losing on ECW in the Championship Chase.The following Superstar(s) also received votes from members of The Academy:
Batista - The Animal returned to Raw with a fury that The Legacy won't soon forget. Teaming with WWE Champion Triple H & Shane McMahon at Backlash will certainly create a headache for Randy Orton.
Santina - She may not be a pleasant looking woman, but "Santina" not only won the honor of being the first- ever "Miss WrestleMania" in the 25-Diva Battle Royal on Sunday, she also beat Beth Phoenix one-on-one the next night.
