13 | |
| 14 |

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Two weeks straight without new faces? What's going on?" - Cedric
The Academy replies: The P25ers are doing a good job of staying alive. But Cody Rhodes and the Major Brothers are breathing down their necks.
"John Morrison deserves to be higher. He would have won that match had it not been for The Miz." - Lia
The Academy replies: The key word there is "would." He didn't and while we took The Miz into consideration, it still doesn't add up to a better rank.
"I'm sick of CM Punk not getting what he deserves. Why has he still never been ranked No. 1?"- David
The Academy replies: Let's see him get a straight win against John Morrison before debating that. With another pay-per-view coming up, he'll have his chance.
FAREWELL...
...to no one. All ranked Superstars maintained their spot on the POWER 25 again this week. Congrats!
