| This Week | Movement | Superstar | Last Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
The King of the World proved he is deserving of that title. Of all WWE Superstars, King Booker is the one to beat. |
3 | |
| 2 |
The ECW World Champion remains at No. 2 despite not winning at Cyber Sunday. The Extreme Giant wasn't pinned and he still has a title to defend at December to Dismember. |
2 | |
| 3 |
Unlike Big Show, Cena did get pinned thanks to a surprise appearance by K-Fed at Cyber Sunday. |
1 | |
| 4 |
Umaga is still undefeated after dismantling Kane at Cyber Sunday. That keeps him as the highest ranked non-champion on the P25. |

| 6 |
Have Edge and Orton begun the long-awaited demise of DX for their Chairman? Time will tell, but for now, Edge is on top of the world. |
10 | |
| 7 | 12 | ||
| 8 |
DX is still one of the top duos in RAW, but the key phrase here is "one of." Orton and Edge have disrupted the team's dominance over the brand. |
6 | |
| 9 |
He looked strong for a while when he took on King Booker in the unexpected championship match, but Queen Sharmell's distraction cost him yet another golden opportunity. |
8 | |
| 10 |
Hardy's reign as Intercontinental Champion was about as short as the time it took him to earn the gold. Will he be able to win it back or will it end up being 15 minutes of fame? |
7 | |
| 11 |
The "Nature Boy" went into Cyber Sunday without even knowing who his partner would be and he still won the World Tag Team Championship, bringing an end to the Squad's long reign. |
16 | |
| 12 |
He had a chance to shock RAW fans and win the Intercontinental Championship, but he didn't come through. His win against Shelton Benjamin keeps him from sliding more than one spot. |
11 | |
| 13 |
Benoit saw his first in-ring action in weeks on SmackDown. What will happen when the Rabid Wolverine is tested with the United States Championship on the line? |
13 | |
| 14 |
Another inactive week for Sabu, and this one is costly. With so many other Superstars on the P25 getting wins, Sabu falls five spots. Can he rebound next week? |
9 | |
| 15 |
CM Punk earned the win he's been waiting for against Knox, gaining a chance at the ECW World Title, but other Superstars' Cyber Sunday success prevents him from improving on the P25. |
15 | |
| 16 |
Nitro comes back in a big way as he regains the Intercontinental Championship. A more convincing win would have led to a bigger jump, but this was good enough to make him No. 16. |
19 | |
| 17 |
ECW on Sci Fi was a bad night for RVD. With the number of obstacles he faces, it seems almost impossible that he'll be able to win the ECW World Title. |
14 | |
| 18 |
Test remains at No. 18 after a solid win against ECW Original Tommy Dreamer. Will he take advantage of his ECW World Title opportunity or will he lie down and be a team player? |
18 | |
| 19 | 20 | ||

After being bulldozed again by Umaga, how much longer will Kane be able to hang onto his spot on the P25? |
17 | |
| 21 | 21 | ||
| 22 |
After a rapid downfall on the P25, Mr. Kennedy saved some face when he busted open Undertaker's. Can he gain the edge of this rivalry? |
23 | |
| 23 |
Another week without action for Chavo Guerrero, but he's looking to build something bigger. What will develop from his new rivalry with the Rabid Wolverine? |
22 | |
| 24 |
The Women's Champion didn't have to wait very long to regain her title. She is the top Diva in WWE, but for how long? |
NR | |
| 25 |
Daivari has only been a member of ECW's roster for a few weeks, but he has made the most of them. With The Great Khali in his corner, will anyone be able to slow him down? |
NR |

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Booker shouldn't be No. 1! He had help at Cyber Sunday." - David
The Academy replies: Any way you slice it, King Booker won the Champion of Champions Match and he is therefore the top Superstar in all of WWE.
"Why is DX below Orton and Edge? They slid way too much for one loss and the others jumped to high." - Will
The Academy replies: Edge and Randy Orton beat DX, regardless of the circumstances. As a result, the Academy ruled they should be ranked higher than DX.
"How is Roddy Piper not on the P25? He's a champion!" - Sara
The Academy replies: Piper received honorable mention from the Academy. Even as big as his two victories are, he needs more than two matches to make the list.
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Undertaker - The Deadman was battered and bloodied by Mr. Kennedy on SmackDown; still the Deadman is never down for very long.
KEEP AN EYE ON...
Keep an eye on the following Superstars during the upcoming week:
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper – Out of nowhere, Piper is back as a World Tag Team Champion. If he is able to have continued success, it'll be no time before he's on the P25.
Hardcore Holly – Choosing to return to Heyman's side should be a good business move for Holly, who will have the power of ECW's "Messiah" and the ECW World Champion.
