Batista pinned King Booker for a huge win in partner Lashley's final SmackDown match. Being able to get the three-count on the King makes him No. 4. |

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"How can Umaga fall 5 spots? He's still undefeated!" - Steve
The Academy replies: The guys below him had big wins and he wasn't able to pull one out against Cena.
"Why is CM Punk still only at No. 12? How many times does he have to win before he's in the top 10?" - Myra
The Academy replies: He's moving in the right direction and he has a big opportunity at December to Dismember to move to the top of the P25.
"How can you put an eye on MVP? He barely qualifies as a Superstar." - Laura
The Academy replies: Like him or not, MVP was able to beat Kane on SmackDown. If he picks up a couple of more wins, he just might convince the Academy that he is as good as advertised.
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Lita - Lita's reign as Women's Champion isn't very convincing. How long will she be able to hold her gold?
KEEP AN EYE ON...
Keep an eye on the following Superstars during the upcoming week:
Montel Vontavious Porter – MVP was finally able to defeat the Big Red Monster, but will he be up for his next challenge?
Mickie James – She was able to knock the Women's Champion off the P25. Is she close to regaining the title she once lost to Lita?
