The Champ remains on top after making quick work out of Jonathan Coachman. There is a lesson to be learned here: an Executive Assistant is no match for a Marine! |

The Extreme Giant teamed up with Test to defeat Rob Van Dam and Hardcore Holly. The ECW World Champion continues to choke slam his way to the top. |
3 | |

King Booker wasn’t in the ring this week, but he saw plenty of action. Theodore Long sent Batista to protect the World Champion, but with chaos all around, how long can King Booker remain on top? |
2 | |
| 4 |
In a handicap match this week, Umaga defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan as his partner Eugene cowered in fear. The Samoan Bulldozer continues his undefeated streak but at Cyber Sunday, anything can happen. |

The Animal lived up to his name this week when he took on the role of bodyguard for King Booker. He ended SmackDown with a nice all out brawl. |

Just when it looked like Orton had the upper hand, The Game brought out the equalizer. Still, a No Contest is not enough to keep DX in the top 5. |
5 | |
| 7 |
High-flyer Jeff Hardy watched with a keen eye as Carlito defeated Johnny Nitro and Shelton Benjamin in a Triple Threat Match. Cyber Sunday is going to be off the hook. |
7 | |

Lashley dominated Jamie Noble only to be confronted by the man who turned on him a week earlier. Tatanka arrived with some harsh words for Lashley and it looks like this rivalry is only going to heat up. |

The Extreme Elimination Chamber just became suicidal, genocidal and homocidal... if it wasn't dangerous enough already. |
10 | |
| 10 |

This time around, Orton drew a No Contest. But what will happen at Cyber Sunday when the match that matters most takes place? |

The so-called Rabid Wolverine has been pretty tame since winning the United States Championship. Will he be a fighting champion? |
11 | |
| 14 |
RVD found himself on his back at the end of ECW on Sci Fi's main event, but he only falls one spot because the loss can be mostly attributed to Heyman monkeying around. |
13 | |
| 15 |
Punk wasn't in any matches, but as he reported in his blog, his rivalry with Mike Knox will finally come to a head next week. The outcome could lead to a huge jump... or drop... on the P25. |
15 | |
| 16 |
Flair's week was uneventful. He better make up for last week's loss to the angry cheerleader or he may be seeing his last days on the P25. |

After registering three wins on SmackDown, the Big Red Monster has quickly become one of SmackDown's fastest rising, most dominant forces. |
23 | |
| 18 |
Test is in top form and has become an asset to Heyman's new breed force. It's virtually impossible to stop the trio of him, Heyman and Big Show. |
20 | |
| 19 |
After a loss in the Triple Threat Match and being booed for introducing Kevin Federline two weeks ago, who knows if Nitro will be welcome in Hollywood anymore? |

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Why is Booker all the way down to No. 3? He's the King of the World!" - Blake
The Academy replies: The Academy apologizes to King Booker's loyal subjects, but your king must be a fighting king to hold the throne at the top of the P25.
"Kane jumped that much? It seems like a minute ago, he was in danger of falling off the P25." - Melissa
The Academy replies: The Red Monster has put forth an impressive comeback. Three wins in 30 minutes? You can't argue with numbers.
"I know Mr. Kennedy lost, but how could he drop so many spots?" - Kara
The Academy replies: Just as Kane won three matches and jumped six spots, Kennedy lost three in 30 minutes and dropped six. It's been a while since he's won.
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Finlay - Finlay closed out SmackDown with a heated argument, but that's not enough. It has been far too long since the Irishman has proven that he loves to - and can - fight.
KEEP AN EYE ON...
Keep an eye on the following Superstars during the upcoming week:
Lita – Is she ready to beat Mickie and recapture the Women's Championship? If so, she may also be ready to re-enter the P25.
Daivari – The Great Khali's friend came back in a big way when he debuted on ECW on Sci Fi. With the giant in his corner, he may quickly prove to be the most Extreme figure in sports-entertainment.
