The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their position on the P25 this week:
Undertaker - The Deadman exits the Power 25 due to an extended period of inactivity. Still, expect Undertaker to make a major impact when he returns to the ring.
Dolph Ziggler - A week after entering the P25, Dolph leaves the list. The young Superstar can blame The Great Khali for this turn of events.
The following Superstar(s) also received votes from members of The Academy:
Evan Bourne - This high-flyer wowed the WWE Universe with a victory over Mark Henry. Look for him to reenter the atmosphere of the Power 25 very shortly.
Santino Marella - The Italian Superstar has become one of the most popular competitors on Raw and a few more victories could earn Santino a spot on this list.
Vladimir Kozlov - "The Soviet Cyborg" is already making his presence felt in the Land of the Extreme. Will he be marching onto the Power 25 soon?
