Mr. Money in the Bank solidified his No. 2 spot when he pinned Masters after a breathtaking sunset flip on RAW... When will RVD cash in his World Championship opportunity?

Was The Academy dreaming? Or did we see Mick Foley and Edge team up to decimate one of ECW's top names?

Even after beating William Regal in the main event of Velocity, the Rabid Wolverine falls out the Top 10 for the first time in a long time.

THE GREAT KHALI

Friday's David vs. Goliath story had a bit of a different ending than the original... Has anybody ever made such an immediate impact in the history of SmackDown?

21

BIG SHOW

The Academy is amazed that people still get in the ring with Kane... Big Show did it, and he paid the price.

UMAGA

This Samoan is bulldozing his way through the POWER 25.

BOOKER T

Between the SummerSlam commercial shoot and "officially" advancing to the King of the Ring finals, it has been a busy week for Booker... But not good enough to help him move up in the POWER 25.

FINLAY

The Irishman claimed he was in Lashley's head, but it looked to us like Finlay was the one outsmarted on SmackDown.

The sun set for Masters' Intercontinental Championship hopes Monday on RAW... for now. The Academy still expects big things out of this youngster.

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

"Stop with the Spirit Squad. They are not worthy of a Top 10 position and you know it. That should be reserved for people like Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels or even Shelton Benjamin. Why aren't they in the Top 10?"
-Peter

"Rey was destroyed on Friday. He should be down much further on the rankings."
-Rose

"As far as I'm concerned, you can keep dropping Chris Masters. I love it."
-Frank

"How in the world is Mark Henry still in the Top 10?"
-Joe

"When Henry destroys Angle at Judgment Day, he better get a match for the World Heavyweight Championship, and then take over at his rightful spot - No. 1."
-Hallie

FAREWELL...

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

The McMahon Men
It looks like beating "God" only gauranteed Mr. & Shane McMahon one week on the POWER 25.

KEEP AN EYE ON...

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

Mick Foley
Why did the Hardcore Legend align with Edge to take down ECW's Tommy Dreamer?

Matt Striker
He looks to be on the fast track to success.

Eugene
Will it be Eugene teaching Striker a thing or two about wrestling?
