CM PUNK (9) (Watch | Photos)

With another win against Undertaker, it seems as though The Straightedge Champion might have The Deadman's number. We'll find out if that's the case next Sunday at Hell in a Cell.

JOHN CENA (4) (Watch | Photos)

Unfortunately for The Champ, his team was unsuccessful on Monday, leaving him with the unenviable task of having to run the gauntlet against Randy Orton, Big Show & Chris Jericho on the next Raw.

JOHN MORRISON (3) (Watch | Photos)

The Friday Night Delight keeps himself steady at the No. 3 spot with an impressive tag team win on SmackDown against Mike Knox and the No. 1 Contender to his Intercontinental Title, Dolph Ziggler.

RANDY ORTON (3) (Watch | Photos)

An RKO on The World's Strongest Man has given The Legend Killer's some much-needed momentum. If things go his way, the WWE Title will be within Orton's grasp after the Gauntlet Match on Monday.

KOFI KINGSTON (Watch | Photos)

The Jamaican Superstar may still be the United States Champion, but the fact that his Hell in a Cell opponents keep stealing the title from him must be frustrating Kingston to no end.

CHRISTIAN

William Regal may have let it be known that he's coming for the ECW Champion, but that takes nothing away from Captain Charisma's successful title defense against Zack Ryder on Tuesday night.

D-GENERATION X: TRIPLE H & SHAWN MICHAELS

Despite both members of the legendary tandem having plenty of experience within Satan's Structure, they must be taking note of the message Legacy sent them on Raw.

THE LEGACY: CODY RHODES & TED DiBIASE

It would be hard to argue that the momentum is not on The Legacy's side after the beating they gave Triple H after his match against Cody Rhodes on Monday.

DOLPH ZIGGLER

Though he wasn't the one pinned, losing on SmackDown in tag team action against Intercontinental Champion John Morrison can't sit well with Ziggler as he prepares to challenge for the gold next Sunday.

CHRIS JERICHO & BIG SHOW

Following a week both men would certainly like to forget, the Unified Tag Team Champions helped their team to a big win on Raw and will now look to decimate John Cena in Monday night's Gauntlet Match.

MARK HENRY

The saying, 'No good deed goes unpunished,' came  true for The World's Strongest Man on Raw. After he came to Cena's aid earlier in the night, Henry fell victim to the RKO in the main event.

JACK SWAGGER

After stealing Kofi Kingston's United States Championship on Raw, The All-American American will have to keep his eye out for The Jamaican Superstar who will definitely be looking to get back his gold.

KANE

Just one night after being frustrated to the point of getting himself disqualified, The Big Red Monster turned things right around by decimating Slam Master J in a quick and very decisive match.

UNDERTAKER

The fact of the matter is that in both World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk's victories against The Deadman, all he really has succeeded in doing is making The Phenom angry, which will be to his detriment.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER

Despite it resulting in a loss in the main event, The Franchise Playa did the right thing by coming to ringside with Mark Henry to even out the numbers game that John Cena was facing after his contract signing.

THE MIZ

Thanks to a Skull-Curshing Finale, The Miz picked up an impressive win over Evan Bourne, but as he showed later in the night, all he really has on his mind is capturing the United States Championship.

BATISTA

Following an extremely successful return last week with wins on Raw and SmackDown, The Animal continued to exude his dominance by picking up a disqualification victory against Big Show.

MICKIE JAMES

Things aren't looking good for the Divas Champion after what happened on Raw. Not only did she lose against Beth Phoenix, but she also fell victim to a post-match attack by No. 1 contender Alicia Fox.

WILLIAM REGAL

After letting ECW Champion Christian know his intentions, The Englishman and his associates, Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov, viciously attacked Goldust after their match on "WWE Superstars."

VLADIMIR KOZLOV & EZEKIEL JACKSON

As singles competitors, these two men are forces to be reckoned with, but as a team, they've proven to be nothing but pure dominance.

MICHELLE McCOOL

Making up for her one-on-one loss to Melina, the Women's Champion cleared the way for her team to be victorious on "WWE Superstars," delivering a kick to Maria's head that allowed Layla to get the pin.

MATT HARDY

Having an answer to everything Kane threw at him, Hardy may have unleashed The Big Red Monster's fury by frustrating the behemoth to the point that he ignored the referee and got himself disqualified.

ALICIA FOX

Although the No. 1 contender to the Divas Championship wasn't in action this week, she did capitalize on an opportunity to get in Mickie James's head by attacking the Divas Champion after her loss to Beth Phoenix.

HART DYNASTY: SMITHNATALYA, KIDD

Following last week's success in tag team action, this impressive, young trio breaks onto the P25 after DH Smith defeated JTG in singles action Friday night on SmackDown.
