KOFI KINGSTON (Watch | Photos) After having to deal with weeks of shenanigans by both The Miz and Jack Swagger, the U.S. Champion now has his gold back heading into one of the biggest title defenses of his young career. |

JOHN MORRISON (Watch | Photos) The Guru of Greatness' week ended on a sour note with a tag team loss to The Miz & Dolph Ziggler on Friday. Hopefully next week holds better things for The Shaman of Sexy, or he might not be golden anymore. |

D-GENERATION X: TRIPLE H & SHAWN MICHAELS Not only did DX run The Legacy from the ring on Raw, but they also picked up a massive amount of momentum in the tag team victory on SmackDown. |

If falling into WWE Champion John Cena's trap on Raw and receiving an Attitude Adjustment on top of the Hell in a Cell hurts, we can't imagine what Undertaker's Tombstone felt like Friday night. |

With a pin over Intercontinental Champion John Morrison on SmackDown in tag team action, it's now time to see if Ziggler can do it when it really counts. |

THE LEGACY: CODY RHODES & TED DiBIASE Being shown up by DX on Raw and watching Randy Orton fall to Undertaker on Friday isn't exactly the inspiration The Legacy needs with Hell in a Cell around the corner. |

| 10 |
An up-and-down week isn't exactly what the Unified Tag Team Champions would have wanted heading into a title defense. Jericho & Big Show certainly have their hands full with Batista & Rey Mysterio. |

In an impressive feat of strength, Swagger reversed Evan Bourne's momentum into a vicious powerbomb on Raw. Continuing that momentum, he destroyed his Hell in a Cell opponents on "WWE Superstars." |

It looks like Randy Orton might still be hearing the gong sound after The Deadman put The Legend Killer down for the count with a vicious Tombstone on the Decade of SmackDown special. |

A second tag team loss in two weeks drops The World's Strongest Man down another two spots. Henry needs to turn things around so he can start moving back in the right direction on the list. |

With a golden opportunity set in front of him, The Animal has never looked more determined and with a big win over Kane, things are looking on the up for the team of Batista & Rey Mysterio. |
17 | |
| 15 |
On the Decade of SmackDown special, The Big Red Monster went head on against Batista, and unfortunately for Kane, The Animal continued to be on top of his game defeating him with a Batista Bomb. |

| 16 |
Although the self-proclaimed "Chick Magnet" was left on his back by both his Hell in a Cell opponents on "WWE Superstars," The Miz did gain some redemption with a "W" on SmackDown. |

Despite special guest host Rev. Al Sharpton granting MVP & Mark Henry a Unified Tag Team Championship Match, The Franchise Playa couldn't capitalize and was pinned by Chris Jericho. |

The Divas Champion got the momentum going her way heading into Hell in a Cell with a win over Rosa Mendes on Raw as the No. 1 contender to her title, Alicia Fox, watched from ringside. |

| 19 |
In a ring surrounded by her fellow Divas, the Women's Champion gave everything she had with her gold on the line and, in the end, walked out as champion after defeating her rival Melina. |

Probably still seeing birds, Regal was the victim of the pinfall in his team's loss Tuesday night after he was knocked silly by a vicious kick from Yoshi Tatsu allowing for the 1-2-3. |

VLADIMIR KOZLOV & EZEKIEL JACKSON The brutish combination of Kozlov & Jackson is nearly unstoppable, but with two more teammates by their side, the dominating duo were on the losing side of an Eight-Man Tag Team Match on ECW. |
20 | |
| 22 |
Unfortunately for Fox, her tactics didn't work against Divas Champion Mickie James for the second week in a row, but she may be able to get the last laugh with a title win at Hell in a Cell. |
23 | |

Out of action this week, Hardy drops a spot on the P25. We think Matt might be nursing the wounds he acquired in his brutal disqualification victory against Kane last Thursday night. |

Last week, The Glamazon defeated Divas Champion Mickie James one on one. Phoenix followed that up this week by assisting Women's Champion Michelle McCool in her win over Melina Friday night. |
