We had some matches and some really good storytelling in the ring. Now let’s get started on the Top 5.
BUDDY MURPHY
Buddy Murphy has been outstanding so far in his role in this “Whodunit?” angle that involves Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, and Erik Rowan.He also did great in his first matchup against “The Big Dog.” He lost the match but definitely held his own against the WWE poster boy.
Hopefully, this angle will propel Murphy into a storyline that is worthwhile because early indications seem to show Buddy as a star in WWE.
SASHA BANKS
Does blue hair make you evil? I am not sure. However, it was a fantastic heel turn from Sasha Banks this past week on Raw as she beat up former friends Natalya Neidhart and Becky Lynch.I expect big things from Sasha Banks, as I feel she is more of a natural heel than a babyface.
Her run in NXT as a heel is what made her such a big star in the first place. If she can call back to those tactics she used back then, we could be seeing a new main event star as the face of the Women’s Division on RAW.
ANDRADE
Beating Rey Mysterio two consecutive times in a row is a big deal no matter who you are in WWE.Andrade is an interesting story to me so far on the main roster in WWE. It is obvious he can wrestle a great match with anyone (see his match with Johnny Gargano at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.
It is seriously one of the best matches of all time, but so far he has been in “neutral” in terms of a story people can get behind.
Perhaps destroying the legend of Rey Mysterio is just what Andrade needs to be a top heel.
THE BEST FRIENDS
I am still not 100% sure on how I feel about the Best Friends. On the one hand, it is a little bit too corny for me to like but then, on the other hand, they have these little mannerisms that make me a fan.This week on the Youtube series of “The Road To All Out” the Best Friends were profiled and slap my knee caps and call me “Calvin” if I was not entertained.
There was nothing over the top or memorable but by the time their interview was over I really wanted them to become the first AEW tag team champions. If you haven’t seen episode five yet I would highly recommend it.
JORDAN MYLES
Jordan Myles is an athlete who has the look you want for a future champion in NXT. He looks great getting off the bus and has a move set that goes viral on Twitter.This week he won the NXT Breakout Tournament beating Cameron Grimes. I would expect this tournament victory could lead to a title shot in NXT very soon.
Myles was a great choice to win this NXT tournament as he will for sure be the next breakout star.
Emily’s Tepid Take of the Week: Isn’t calling Asuka the Empress of Tomorrow the same as saying she’s never the Empress of Today? Like, maybe she’ll get to it later, but probably not? She’s just touting the fact she will never be queen. Forever loser.?
So that's it! The definitive, undisputed, Top 5 wrestling personalities of the industry for this week!
