WWE.com, in conjunction with The Academy of Wrestling Arts & Sciences, ranks the Top 25 Superstars in wrestling each week with POWER 25. The rankings are based on victories, quality of opponents, momentum and overall in-ring dominance, as well as intangibles. Be sure to check back every Saturday for the latest POWER 25.
This week's rankings saw a lot of upward movement after the POWER 25 bid its final farewell to great Eddie Guerrero. In addition, another spot in the Top 10 opened when the Academy chose to recognize Big Show & Kane as one after weeks of working together to decimate Team SmackDown. Here are the rankings for November 26:
