Both Brie & Nikki Bella can attest to the awesome power of this beauty. To prove the point, The Glamazon dominated The Bella Twins on "WWE Superstars" this week in tag team action. |

The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their position on the P25 this week:
Batista - Less than 24 hours after winning the WWE Title from Randy Orton within the confines of a steel cage, The Animal was sent to the hospital after a vicious beating by The Legacy and will be sidelined for up to four months.
Finlay - The Belfast Brawler is still nursing an eye injury he suffered a few weeks ago. As a result, Finlay drops off this week's list.
The following Superstar(s) also received votes from members of The Academy:
Vladimir Kozlov - The Moscow Mauler has been tormenting his opponents over the last few weeks with impressive victories. If he starts to up the caliber of his opponents, he may find himself back on the P25.
Goldust & Hornswoggle - However bizarre this pairing may be, it has definitely been working for the two as they have proven to be a successful unit on several occasions over the last few weeks.
