If you want to know who the best WWE wrestlers are, we’ve got you covered with our new rankings. We’ve picked the 10 wrestlers who have been the most impressive in the past few weeks on Raw and Smackdown.
To come up with this list, we’re looking at how well they wrestle, talk, and tell stories. Here are our power rankings with three weeks left heading into WrestleMania 41.
10. Randy Orton
Randy Orton is back and hasn’t looked this good in a while. Not only is his look down, but his promos and character work have never been this well perfected. He is truly cooking on all cylinders as he prepares to clash with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. He’s due for a win over the heel.
9. Iyo Sky
Iyo Sky is facing a tricky situation. She won the title from the very popular Rhea Ripley just before WrestleMania, and now she’s stuck in a match between two of WWE’s biggest female stars. Even though her English isn’t perfect, she’s got a special something that fans really like. She’s a fun character with a unique personality and is arguably the best female wrestler they have. That’s why she’s made it into the top 10 WWE wrestlers this week.
8. Street Profits
The Street Profits are still riding high on after finally winning the tag team titles again after four long years. They took a while to change their characters and make them more interesting, but now they’ve made some good changes that are working really well. The new version of the Profits seems to be getting really popular with the fans and the people who run the show, which is why they deserve to be on our list of top WWE wrestlers.

7. Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens is one of the most helpful wrestlers in the WWE. He’s great at being both a bad guy and a good guy. His attempt to suddenly say sorry on Smackdown and ask Randy Orton to team up again was a surprising and fun twist. Even though Randy said no, it showed how Kevin always finds new ways to be interesting and break the usual wrestling rules for good and bad characters.

6. Penta
Penta, who used to wrestle in AEW, has been doing really well since he started in WWE back in January. The company clearly likes him a lot, giving him a super cool entrance, which is probably the best one they have right now. For his first WrestleMania, he’s going to be in a big title match. Penta’s start in WWE has been amazing, and he deserves a lot of praise for how well he’s performed on TV. Give me Penta vs. Bron Breakker 3 at WrestleMania.
5. Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is so talented that he’s gone from being one of the most hated bad guys ever to maybe the most popular good guy in WWE, and he did it pretty fast. His talking on the last Smackdown show proved it. He used his old Tribal Chief attitude, but his reasons sounded more like a good guy today. Reigns is walking a tricky line, being a good guy but still keeping some of his dark, cool parts. He might still lose at Mania though.
4. Seth Rollins
Some folks think Seth Rollins has become a grumpy and complaining character, but he’s still one of the best wrestlers around. We should also be grateful that he’s starting to tone down on his over-the-top gimmick. He’s gotten way better at talking on the mic during his match with CM Punk, and their matches have been awesome. Now that his old history with Roman Reigns is part of the story, Rollins is going to be even more amazing as they head towards WrestleMania 41.
3. CM Punk
Even though he’s 46, CM Punk is wrestling better than ever. His talking parts are still super exciting, and he gets tons of cheer from his fans. Plus, he’s still really good at wrestling in the ring. The mystery of what Paul Heyman owes him has also made his match with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns even more interesting, adding a cool side story to their big match. Getting a WrestleMania main event finally is a cherry on top for him this week.
2. Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes faced a tough challenge at Elimination Chamber 2025 when John Cena’s heel turn happened, which usually makes fans like the new bad guy because they seem cool and fresh. But Cody, the WWE champ, has done a great job of staying popular. He’s added just the right amount of toughness to his character, and now everyone is really excited to see him wrestle John Cena at WrestleMania 41. He is also starting to get a little bit of an edge and that’s just awesome.
1. John Cena
John Cena is having a lot of fun playing a new, meaner version of himself, which is very different from how we’ve seen him for the past 20 years. He still has some of his old style, like his clothes and music, but now he’s a grumpy guy who’s finally telling everyone how mad he’s been at them for years. It’s a cool story, and Cena has made his famous character feel new and exciting again. His promos are also fire right now.
