WWE.com, in conjunction with The Academy of Wrestling Arts & Sciences, ranks the Top 25 Superstars in wrestling each week with POWER 25. The rankings are based on victories, quality of opponents, momentum and overall in-ring dominance, as well as intangibles. Be sure to check back every Saturday for the latest POWER 25. Here are the rankings for November 25:
| This Week | Movement | Superstar | Last Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
He survived Monday night, but it comes down to whether or not Team Cena can prevail at Survivor Series. |
1 | |
| 2 |
After his Raw showing and another embarrassing night courtesy of Lashley, Big Show has a lot to prove in the upcoming pay-per-views. |
2 | |
| 3 |
King Booker made a mockery of the Animal on SmackDown. Will he defend his reign when it's all on the line on Sunday? |
3 | |
| 4 |
Batista didn't look so hot on SmackDown, but it all comes down to Survivor Series. Can he make the most of his title shot or will it be another wasted opportunity? |
4 | |

| 6 |
DX DX should feel good after getting the better of Rated-RKO. Suvivor Series should help determine if they have control over this rivalry. |
7 | |
| 7 |
The Intercontinental Champion erased any Raw fans' doubt when he topped Nitro in a Ladder Match. It was a big two-win week for the high-flyer. |
8 | |
| 8 |
RATED-RKO If Monday night was a preview of things to come, Edge & Orton are in trouble. Can they regain form at Survivor Series? |
5 | |
| 9 |
Add another win to Umaga's undefeated record. Team Big Show is happy to have his lossless streak on its side. |
9 | |
| 10 |
He prevailed in a physical match with Kevin Thorn and then took out the vampire when he and Ariel attacked Kelly. One thing is for sure: don't mess with CM Punk. |
12 | |
| 11 |
That wasn't pretty against Finlay. Will the Rabid Wolverine be healthy enough to survive Chavo Guerrero at Survivor Series? |
10 | |
| 12 |
He and Torrie looked pretty cozy until the Masterpiece spoiled the fun. It's never a good thing when a commentator has to help defend you. |
11 | |
| 13 |
He found himself on the winning team on Raw. On Sunday, can Flair have a Cyber Sunday-like night without "Rowdy" Roddy Piper? |
13 | |
| 14 |
RVD has crashed through every stop sign Heyman plants, but with December to Dismember a whole week away, will he get through Big Show at Survivor Series? |
16 | |
| 15 |
CRYME TYME They didn't get into the ring, but it all balances out since they got Maria to hang out with them. Perhaps Cryme Tyme can steal hearts as well. |
15 | |
| 16 |
You can't just point up and expect to move in that direction, Sabu. You've got to win to ascend the P25. |
14 | |
| 17 |
He may be able to help out his champion at Survivor Series, but the real question is what he will do in that Extreme Elimination Chamber at December to Dismember. |
17 | |
| 18 |
That was a tough loss for the former Intercontinental Champion. Despite losing, his effort is enough to keep him at No. 18. |
18 | |
| 19 |
After finding himself covered in blood on SmackDown, Mr. Kennedy looked mad and ready to get even. Who will prove tougher when this rivalry comes to a head in Sunday's brutal match? |
20 | |
| 20 |
SPIRIT SQUAD Squad members suffered two losses on Monday. They should be in better shape on Sunday with teamwork! |
19 | |
| 21 |
With Dave Taylor by his side, Regal can make life pretty awful for his opponents. He certainly isn't SmackDown's whipping boy anymore. |
25 | |
| 22 | 21 | ||
| 23 |
Porter has worked up a little bit of a winning streak. With the way he's been handling Kane, the confident Superstar may have been right all along. |
NR | |
| 24 |
The Big Red Monster no longer has the ability to intimidate MVP. If he can't regain the edge of this rivalry, Kane may soon say goodbye to the P25. |
22 | |
| 25 |
If a true Guerrero fights, then Chavo isn't a Guerrero either. He needs to get back in the ring if he wants to work his way back up the P25. |
24 |
Do You Agree?
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"How the heck is MVP on the P25? You've got to be kidding." - Ralph
The Academy replies: Sorry, James, but it's true. He's coming off two straight wins and you can't argue with results.
"How come Nitro isn't falling after his loss?" - Randy
The Academy replies: Sometimes it's a matter of what happens to the surrounding Superstars. Rest assured, he won't be moving up unless he earns it.
"RVD should be ranked higher. He's overcome every obstacle Heyman has thrown at him." - Melly
The Academy replies: That is true, but the Academy has to see how he fares at December to Dismember before RVD skyrockets to the top.
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Chris Masters - Masters took a costly week off from the ring, as a lot of unranked Superstars had big nights.
KEEP AN EYE ON...
Keep an eye on the following Superstars during the upcoming week:
Finlay – The Irishman registered a big win over Chris Benoit. Will he make another run at the United States Championship?
Gregory Helms – Helms put his title on the line and retained it. A few more matches with something to risk and he'll be firing up the P25.
