FAREWELL...

The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:

Goldust
The Bizarre One loses his No. 25 spot to another ring veteran, Tatanka.


 

KEEP AN EYE ON...

Keep an eye on the following Superstars during the upcoming week:

Shane McMahon
Now that he is officially slated for Saturday Night's Main Event, is a spot on the POWER 25 far off?

Paul Burchill
If SmackDown's buccaneer can pick up a win on Friday, he may be treasuring a spot on next week's POWER 25.

Trish Stratus
How long will it be before the Women's Champion regains a spot on the POWER 25?

Goldust
Will his winning streak continue this week?
