 JOHN CENA (10) (Watch | Photos)

A win against WWE Champion Randy Orton on Raw was fantastic for Cena. Especially since it may mean the former Champ isn't far from being on top of more than just the Power 25.

RANDY ORTON (9) (Watch | Photos

The Legend Killer was stunned by what happened on Raw, and that might be bad news for him, considering his title will be at risk against Triple H and the man who pinned him on Raw, John Cena.

JEFF HARDY (Watch | Photos)

Although The Charismatic Enigma should be concentrating more thoroughly on his golden opportunity, a win over Chris Jericho on SmackDown will do nothing but add to his momentum.

CM PUNK (Watch | Photos)

Although he may not be moving up the list, Punk got the last laugh Friday night after giving the GTS to his nemesis, Jeff Hardy. If the World Heavyweight Champion hits that when it matters, he's sure to retain gold.

JOHN MORRISON (Watch | Photos)

We've been quite impressed with The Friday Night Delight as of late, and this week he brought the fireworks one night early when he outshined Kane in a disqualification win on "WWE Superstars."

REY MYSTERIO 

The Master of the 619 drops down this week after being brutally attacked by Dolph Ziggler following SmackDown's main event. Does the brash, young Superstar have Mysterio's number?

KOFI KINGSTON

In light of what Big Show did to the other five men involved in the tag match on Raw, it looks like the United States Champion needs to keep an eye out for The World's Largest Athlete.

TRIPLE H

On Raw, The Game stated that he doesn't care if he wins the title, he just wants to ensure that Randy Orton is no longer champion. When The King of Kings has his mind set, he usually gets the job done.

JACK SWAGGER

"The All-American American" may have beaten MVP last week on Raw, but Swagger surely hasn't seen the last of The Ballin' Superstar.

CHRIS JERICHO

The first-ever Undisputed Champion has  had plenty of issues to deal with lately and hasn't really gotten the best of any of them. He'll really need to turn things around if he doesn't want to fall out of the P25's top 10.

CHRISTIAN

Captain Charisma may be friends with Tommy Dreamer, but there's no reason to step in the ring if you don't want to be on top. So, for that reason, Christian and Dreamer are at war atop ECW.

TOMMY DREAMER

Tons and tons of heart is what Tommy Dreamer has, and that is all anchored in the Land of the Extreme. If he loses the ECW Title, he'll be sure to give it his all to regain gold as soon as possible.

DOLPH ZIGGLER

He may be young, but Dolph Ziggler has proven himself to be wise, albeit perhaps a bit devious at times. The Hollywood, Fla., native certainly has a very bright future ahead of him.

BIG SHOW

Although Big Show added one to the loss column this week, the devastation The World's Largest Athlete left in the ring following the match really caught the attention of The Academy.

CODY RHODES & TED DiBIASE

Being on the losing side of action in Raw's main event can't make The Legacy feel good, but we think if they can win the Unified Tag Team Championships, they won't be too sore about the loss.

MARK HENRY

The World's Strongest Man has been impressive in action lately, and on Raw, despite being attacked with a chair, he got to show his grin after having the last laugh over Chris Jericho.

MICHELLE McCOOL

If Women's Champion Michelle McCool can successfully defend her title against Melina, she will have beaten the Diva from whom she originally captured the title. The debate continues: Is McCool the best ever?

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER

Technically, The Franchise Playa' was victorious on Raw, but we don't think he would have been pleased unless he himself put Jack Swagger down for the three-count.

MARYSE

Her actions may have been devious, but the Divas Champion got the result she was looking for as we think that Mickie James might be a little less confident when the two come face-to-face this Sunday.

HART DYNASTY: SMITHNATALYA, KIDD

Things have been going up and down for this impressive triad. Unfortunately for the young Dynasty, on SmackDown, Natalya lost to Eve making this one of those down weeks.

VLADIMIR KOZLOV

The Moscow Mauler may not have gone one-on-one with anyone on ECW, but it seems as if he wanted to show Ezekiel Jackson how it's done, annihilating his opponent after Jackson's match.

22

KANE

Since returning, there's definitely been a change in The Big Red Monster. Sure, his sadistic side would certainly attack John Morrison with a chair, but standing down from The Great Khali, that's just weird.

MELINA

Redemption could be within Melina's grasp, and if she is able to obtain it, it's coming with the Women's Championship and a regaining of her throne at the top of SmackDown's Diva division.

SHELTON BENJAMIN

When The Gold Standard was set to face Goldust in the Land of the Extreme, there was sure to be an inflation of one of these Superstars' egos, and not surprisingly, it was that of Shelton Benjamin.

MICKIE JAMES

After being out of action and being blinded by Divas Champion Maryse when the French Diva interrupted her interview, Mickie James is on the brink of falling off the P25 if she doesn't win the title.

FAREWELL

The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their position on the P25 this week:

Zack Ryder - After breaking onto the list last week, the Long Island native was not in action, causing him to fall off the list as quickly as he got on.

OTHERS EARNING VOTES

The following Superstar(s) also received votes from members of The Academy:

Yoshi Tatsu - If Tatsu continues to impress in the ring, it's only a matter of time before he lands on the list.

The Great Khali - The Punjabi Playboy not only defeated Mike Knox on SmackDown, but it seems as though Khali also has Kane on the run.

Hornswoggle - Thanks perhaps to some wardrobe adjustments on Chavo Guerrero's tuxedo, 'Swoggle is now 3-0 against the self-proclaimed "Mexican Warrior" in the last three weeks.
