WWE 2025 Power Rankings February Week 1
10. Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss made her TV return to enormous applause and fanfare. She looked good, and she wrestled even better. Alexa is motivated, and based on her first match back, she is ready to be a top star again.
9. Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan had a match-of-the-week contender. She beat up IYO and Rhea before their qualifying match. She took on IYO, which beat her pretty badly. IYO was finding new creative ways to mess up Liv's face with so many attacks to the head. However, Liv just kept hanging on like her huge catch codebreaker catching IYO off the top rope. Then, her plan came together. Rhea came in enraged by Liv's attack and attacked her, costing IYO the match. Liv uses her cunning and courage to overcome IYO and punch her ticket to the elimination chamber.
8. The Street Profits
The Street Profits are finally going heel, and they cut a promo of the week contender on SmackDown. The Street Profits are a fun team, but they are on another level when they get serious and gritty. The Street Profits have leveled up again.
7. Bianca Belair
I'm sorry, but Bianca and Piper's matches will never stop being awesome. For some reason, they have a ton of chemistry. Bianca overcame Piper in a thrilling match, which was punctuated by Bianca hitting the KOD on juggernaut Piper.
6. Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens had a very good week after a very bad loss at Royal Rumble. He ended Raw in the main event, hitting Sami Zayn with a package piledriver, sending Sami to the hospital. Despicable right? Clearly, there was nothing he could say to justify such a heinous act. Well, actually, no. On SmackDown, KO cut a car promo where he said Sami betrayed Kevin first by watching Cody mame him without ever stepping in to save Kevin. Does he have a point? I don't know it makes sense.
5. Gunther
Gunther cut one of the best promos I've ever seen him cut in his career. He said, "I make them believe I barely hold on to this title, but I'm always in control." I love that Gunther rationalizes how thrilling his matches are by also letting everyone know it's all part of the plan. He's always in control. Then he negs Jey in a very effective way. He says beating Jey means nothing and wouldn't add anything to his legacy. If you were Jey, wouldn't you want to choose Gunther and prove him wrong? Gunther made a great case.
4. Drew McIntyre
Drew had a good week. He was involved in both the segment and match of the week. The segment of the week came at his expense, but he made up for it when he won the triple threat to qualify. Drew did exactly what he said he would: dominated and won, beating two other great stars.
3. Charlotte
Charlotte had a great week. She traveled to all three brands and showed the difference between her and everyone else. She is a challenger but can't help but carry herself like a champion. She flipped the script on the champions and hung her big match guarantee over their heads as a little carrot. She said Rhea was just a little kid. She doesn't consider Rhea an equal; her attitude says she's just a little kid. It's impressive because nobody else except the queen could rise above Rhea's aura and diminish her in that way. She did the same thing to Tiffany. She told Tiffany to kneel and beg for the main event. She went to NXT, looked at everyone in the title picture, and said I'll beat whoever it is, regardless. The queen has made herself the top dog.
2. CM Punk
CM Punk had a great match with Sami Zayn. He boldly proclaimed that Sami wasn't on his level and that he would be winning. He went out there and walked the walk. CM Punk wanted to get in Sami's head and anger him, and he did, which led to CM Punk doing exactly what he said he would do. He put Sami Zayn to sleep and punched his ticket to the Elimination Chamber.
1. Jey USO
He had the whole audience in the palm of his hand for like 15 minutes. I haven't seen a moment like this since Roman beat the Undertaker, but that was boo's. Jey got love from the crowd, applauding and Yeeting for about 10 minutes. Jey then put Gunther in his place after cutting the promo for the week before Gunther came out. The main event Jey Uso went to the main event of SmackDown, had that crowd in the palm of his hand and beat the Bloodline in a tag team match with Cody.
Jey Uso Promo Of The Week
I Didn't Have It
It was an amazing moment on Raw. It was like a dream. Everyone imagines that moment of success with everyone cheering them on and telling them they did it and they deserve it. Few people actually get it, but Jey Uso did. Jey was so emotional that he had to struggle and pause to get the words out because he was overcome with emotion. He confessed that he didn't believe in himself. He didn't have it when he started the singles journey, but he has it now.
Segment of The Week
Drew McIntyre, Jimmy Uso, and LA Knight Have Words
Personal story. I was watching this episode of SmackDown with my younger cousin, who isn't familiar with WWE. Jimmy USO really stood out to him. Jimmy cut a promo about being the big brother and proving himself instead of complaining like Drew. My cousin was rooting for "Jim Uso" hard. LA Knight popped me when he made fun of Drew running out at the rumble by saying hold on; I got to get my shit in. Because apparently, Drew thought LA got his shit in at the rumble at the expense of everyone else. I also love that LA Knight clarified that it's okay to cry as a man before making fun of Drew for always whining.
The Funniest Moment of the Week
Carlito and Dominik were hilarious. Finn Balor pressed Dominik on how he failed while Finn was gone and how he wasn't pulling his weight before Liv saved Dom by pointing out how Dominik got him an important match. Liv will qualify for the elimination chamber and go for the tag titles. Then, when Carlito came in and asked what Dom had gotten him, Dominik responded that he had gotten Carlito that apple and walked off.
Match of the Week
Drew McIntyre vs. Jimmy Uso vs. LA Knight
With their triple threat, Drew, Jimmy Uso, and LA Knight tore the house down. Everyone had their moments where it looked like they were the guy, and it ended in spectacular fashion with Drew hitting LA Knight with a Claymore, LA Knight hitting Jimmy with a BFT, and Drew getting the pin for the win.
Fit of the Week
RollinTaker
Seth Rollins had that Undertaker drip. I don't know why Seth went this hard this week. But he had the Outfit of the week.
NXT Standout of the Week
Cora Jade: No Friends in the industry
Bayley, Roxanne, and Gulia were arguing in the ring about the title when Charlotte came out, and right in front of Charlotte, Cora came and beat the crap out of everyone with a baseball bat. She even went after Roxanne, showing their friendship means nothing in comparison to that title. Hopefully, Cora will finally make it to the top.
Show of the Week SmackDown
SmackDown just edges out Raw this week In the WWE 2025 Power Rankings February Week 1. SmackDown had the best matches overall, with Alex Bliss, Bianca, Jey USO, Jimmy, Drew, and La Knight all in action, in addition to having the best segment of the week and most of the top ten performers.
