JOHN CENA
Cena has been unstoppable since regaining the WWE Championship, but can he stop the Samoan Bulldozer?

BATISTA
After a dominating performance in Armageddon’s main event, the Animal moves up to No. 2. The World Heavyweight Champion proved he could even reign in the North Pole on SmackDown.

LASHLEY
Lashley feels what it’s like to be a victim of circumstance this week, but he has a chance at getting back into the top two when he puts his title on the line against RVD on Jan. 2.

DX (HBK & THE GAME)
DX didn’t look too good after Rated-RKO got through them, but rest assured their New Year’s resolution will be to get even with them once and for all at New Year’s Revolution.

UMAGA
Umaga is bringing an undefeated record into New Year’s Revolution, but the Bulldozer faces his biggest roadblock yet: the WWE Champion.

RATED-RKO (EDGE & ORTON)
Rated-RKO got the last laugh on Raw, but who will be smiling when this rivalry comes to a head in Kansas City?

CHRIS BENOIT
After retaining the United States Championship twice, Benoitshoots up to No. 7. He made Chavo sorry for ever messing with the Rabid Wolverine.

JEFF HARDY
Jeff and his brother had a rough week with two losses. Will Hardy rebound or will he fall on the P25 as quickly as he soared up?

CM PUNK
Three minutes wasn't enough for Punk to make Hardcore Holly tap out, and it also wasn't enough to keep him from falling on the P25.

KING BOOKER
King Booker looks more like a peasant these days. Will he return to royal form soon or is the King’s reign over?

CARLITO
Carlito got roughed up on Raw, but the cool Superstar has looked hot ever since Masters locked his love interest.

ROB VAN DAM
He didn’t have the success Test did in ECW on Sci Fi’s main event, but RVD did win the vote of the ECW fans and will have another title opportunity. Will he follow through this time?

|
JOHNNY NITRO
He may not have won that incredible Ladder Match at Armageddon, but he’s shown up everywhere since and his anger at what happened to Mercury could propel him up the P25.

MR. KENNEDY
Technically Mr. Kennedy lost at Armageddon, but if there is such a thing as a moral victory, that was it. Who else could have hung in that long with Undertaker?

RIC FLAIR
Kenny Dykstra may have the “Nature Boy’s” number. If he does, Flair can forget about having one next to his name on this list.

TEST
The ECW fans don’t think he’s deserving of a championship match against Lashley, but he did everything in his power to prove himself on ECW on Sci Fi.

PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK
After the way they retained their titles, London & Kendrick have to be the last Superstars anybody on the SmackDown roster wants to get involved with.

MATT HARDY
Matt and Jeff had their hands full last week. Angering Nitro with the Mercury ladder incident can’t make them feel any better, either.

REGAL & TAYLOR
Regal & Taylor were clearly out of their element at Armageddon. They should work on their fear of heights if they ever want to be WWE Tag Team Champions.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER
MVP was burned by Kane at Armageddon. Still, you’ve got to hand it to the guy. How many Superstars are willing to go into a match knowing they could go up in flames?

KANE
Kane leaps back onto the P25 after manhandling MVP in the Inferno Match. MVP still has the edge in the win-loss record, though.

UNDERTAKER
Undertaker proved he is still the man to beat on SmackDown. There seems to be no way to stop what’s already dead.

VICTORIA
Another win against the Women’s Champion. Is it just a matter of weeks now until Victoria is the one wearing gold?

GREGORY HELMS
Gregory Helms sure looked like the Cruiserweight Champion at Armageddon, but he looks more like a worm to The Boogeyman.

SABU
Sabu may have to add Kamikaze to his list of tag names as he crashes to the bottom of the P25.
