WWE Power Rankings - June 1, 2014

By Philip Frazer /

This week was the final chance for WWE superstars to shine before the Payback pay-per-view tonight. The headline feud between Evolution and The Shield even included what is believed to be Batista's final Raw appearance of his current run. How did The Animal and co fare in a week that included their contract signing? Elsewhere, John Cena continued his rivalry with Bray Wyatt, with The Usos remaining in the fray to try and counter the involvement of The Family. Both Main Event and SmackDown were headlined by these men, did they manage to take advantage of the opportunity? Bad News Barrett and Sheamus are both defending their championships against Rob Van Dam and Cesaro respectively, and the two feuds intertwined on TV this week. The two champions clashed in a big Champion vs. Champion match on Friday too as the lack of WWE World Heavyweight Championship match has left the two secondary belts receiving extra attention for once. Arguably the biggest thing that happened in WWE this week was NXT's Takeover event, which has once again taken the wrestling world by storm. After the success of Arrival, all eyes were on Takeover. NXT is not a show to ignore, and with the increased eyes on the product there is no denying that there was an increased value to the actions of every NXT competitor this week. Who had the strongest week in the go-home week of WWE programming? Or did the NXT stars take the spotlight? Let's take a look in our weekly WWE Power 10 Rankings.
