This is the video where WWE chairman Vince Mcmahon ordered wrestling superstars Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy to shake hands on the last RAW episode before their title match at Royal Rumble. Orton tried to shake Jeff's hands but unfortunately, it didn't end the way he wanted it.
Also during Hardy's entrance you'll hear JR mentioning that the two wrestlers who held both Intercontinental and WWE Champion belts at the same time were Hulk Hogan and Triple H. If i'm not mistaken.. it was the Ultimate Warrior who held both IC and WWE titles when he defeated Hogan it that classic "Title vs Title" match at Wrestlemania 6.
Before he won the WWE Championship, Randy Orton often called himself a man of destiny. As a third-generation Superstar, he said he was destined for greatness. But last night, less than a week before a highly anticipated championship match at Royal Rumble, a Twist of Fate from Jeff Hardy showed Orton that their destinies may be intertwined.
Three Strikes
Arguably, Randy Ortons first mistake was made weeks ago, when he underestimated Jeff Hardy.
After all, Hardy has been focused on realizing his childhood dream winning the WWE Title for months. That focus and determination enabled the high-flying Superstar to defeat Triple H at Armageddon and become Ortons challenger at the Rumble. The self-proclaimed one man dynastys second mistake was making their rivalry personal. Unlike Ortons previous challengers, Hardy was able to channel that rage. He was able use it to send dangerous and painful messages to the WWE Champion, one of which was a borderline suicidal Swanton Bomb.
Ortons third mistake was made tonight when he put out his hand and thought Hardy was interested in having his respect. The eyes of the Cameron, N.C., native, who has grown up before our fans eyes over the course of a decade, burned lasers through Orton. Was he reliving Orton kicking his brother Matt in the head? Was his minds eye replaying his dive onto the WWE kingpin? Orton looked stunned when Hardy spurned him, shook the hands of Lilian Garcia, Jerry The King Lawler, Jim Ross and even ringside fans and then left him on his back with a thud.
Do you think that 30 foot high swanton bomb Jeff Hardy pulled on World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW episode last January 14 is the biggest or highest jump he did? How about this video from TNA Monster's Ball 2 (Bound for Glory PPV)when Jeff was still working under their promotion?
According to an interview from IGN, Jeff Hardy mentioned of a swanton bomb he did in another wrestling organization...
IGN Sports:You seem like the kind of guy who is always looking for something bigger to jump off of. Are you still looking for that big jump or are you starting to slow down?
Jeff Hardy: I think I've slowed down quite a bit. I don't try or attempt even half of the stuff I used to want to try way back in the day when I was a lot younger. It takes a toll on the body throughout the years, but still, The Swanton is something I feel extremely confident and safe in doing. I would still like to do an extremely high one one of these days. It would be great to do at Mania, but I don't think this year because it's not the right type of match, but when I was wrestling in this other organization, I did one that was crazy, it was 34 feet high where I jumped from and I nearly had a heart attack before I did it. I would really love to do something like that in WWE because it would last through time a lot more and a lot more people would see it. When the time is right, I plan on doing an extremely high Swanton Bomb. I always wanted to bring out a hydraulic lift somehow, ride it to the ring like in a Stone Cold type scenario, back it up then jump off of it and go through some tables.
And as far as i know it, Hardy is referring to that swanton bomb in Monster's Ball. 34 feet? Well, Jeff if you want to pull a much higher jump on WWE, there is still Royal Rumble.. or Wrestlemania 24. ;)
Jeff Hardy is still the hot guy in World Wrestling Entertainment and this poster and magazine cover below will prove it, click the photos below for larger viewing:
Now Hardy to participate in the elimination chamber? That would be pretty exciting! The chamber is considered to be one of the most unforgiving structures in sports-entertainment history, and I think Jeff's extreme and no fear style of wrestling will perfectly fit here. I wonder who the other 5 participants will be? Triple H, Orton, HBK, Umaga, Jericho?... Cena? ^_^
For the fourth week in a row.. that's right - FOUR weeks, Wrestling superstar Jeff Hardy is still at the number 1 spot on WWE's Power 25. Once again Jeff got all the 19 first place votes from the 19 selected sports-entertainment experts.
heres what you need to know about the voting process for the POWER 25:
-P25 voting is based on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the previous weeks results, championship status, television appearances, strength and manner of loss or victory and intangibles.
-A points system determines the rankings, similar to that of the AP, Harris and ESPN polls used in college athletics. 25 points are awarded for a first-place vote, 24 for a second-place vote and so on, all the way down to one point for a 25th place vote. Since the Academy has 19 voting members, the maximum point total will be 475.
-Each week, the numbers are tallied and the top 25 Superstars, Extremists or Divas make the POWER 25. The number of first-place votes they receive will be listed next to their name, allowing you the fans to get a small glimpse of just how the members are voting.
-Similar to the others receiving votes column associated with college polls, the P25 will have the same column containing those Superstars and Extremists whose point totals fell just short of making the list that week.
..the Raw Superstar or Superstars of the Week are the WWE Trainers, Team Doctor, and the local EMTs who were Johnny-on-the-Spot after Jeff Hardys vengeance-driven dive onto WWE Champion Randy Orton. Their prompt medical attention possibly prevented more serious consequences for the insane, risk-taking Hardy and his victim du jour, Randy Orton.
There is no question that Raw ended with a spectacular bang. And after reading reports on WWE.com (non-obligatory mention), Orton and Hardy were extremely lucky to have dodged bullets that could have put them both out of the Royal Rumble...
Ross also mentioned in his article that most people he encounter lately show interest about the ascent of Jeff Hardy's career.
WWE.com reported that Randy Orton has been released from a Mobile medical facility Tuesday morning. The WWE Champion miraculously only suffered head and back trauma.
Jeff Hardy reportedly staggered out of the medical facility late Monday night. It was also reported that the Intercontinental Champion left before he could ever be evaluated. What?! Maybe jumping from a 30 foot high ramp isn't really a big deal to Hardy. If you saw Monster's Ball 2 (Bound for Glory) when Jeff was still working under TNA, Hardy also did a similar jump (a bit higher) by dropping a swanton on Abyss sacrificing himself on the process. Oh well, just another ordinary day for him. (",)
Jeff Hardy promised to take WWE Champion Randy Orton out this week on Raw. As Orton tried to get the jump on the Intercontinental Champion, Hardy turned the tables on the Legend Killer. After throwing Orton off the Raw set, Hardy dove 30 feet down onto the WWE Champion, hurting himself in the process.
RAW January 14, 2008 - The show started with a video putting over the Hardy-Orton happenings from last week's episode.
Hardys music hit the arena and he came out to the ring. Hardy says hes excited. He said in less than two weeks, hed become the WWE Champion. Hardy said as thrilled as he was he was also angry. He said not only will he take the title, hell take Orton out. He said that didnt happen last week, but this week it would.
The WWE Champions music hit and he came out to the ramp. Orton said if Jeff wanted him that bad, he could have him. Randy said however, that it would come with one condition. Only two men had held both the Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Championship at the same time and Orton wanted to be the third. He said at the Rumble, theyd compete for Ortons title, but tonight, theyd compete for his. Hardy accepted the match.
But the actual match ended very quick as Orton gave one immediate lowblow to Jeff Hardy, causing the rainbow haired warrior a win via DQ. Orton got on the mic and said the show wasnt over. He threw Hardy to the floor went for an RKO, but Hardy fought him off. The two brawled up the ramp. Orton continued punishing Hardy and when he is about to give Jeff a boot to the face, Jeff quickly countered and threw Randy up his back. With his opponent down, Jeff thought of the unthinkable.. he went up the ramps attempting a swanton bomb.. but then stopped.. and once again climbed up much higher (30 feet) and dove all the way down to Orton. Haven't seen it yet? Here's the YouTube video of Hardy-Orton match
Randy Orton didn't move as officials carried him away on a stretcher, but Hardy flashed a small victory sign while he lay on the stretcher. What do you think of this match? Is Jeff's daredevil act wise especially there's a few days left until Royal Rumble? He did took Orton down, but it also caused him his body.

Four wins in one week is an incredible feat any way you cut it, especially when those wins consist of a Unified Tag Title win, a title defense, and two wins over World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.
The Legend Killer did the seemingly impossible by surviving the Three Stages of Hell at The Bash. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't survive the Gauntlet Match on Raw and was pinned by Mark Henry.
We understand why The Extreme Enigma may feel he was robbed at The Bash, but now, with a Night of Champions rematch looming, Hardy needs to start looking ahead to capitalize on this golden opportunity.
It will be Cena vs. Triple H for a chance to face Randy Orton for the WWE Title at Night of Champions, and with wins over The Miz at The Bash and on Raw, it certainly seems the momentum is with the former champ.
At The Bash, The Straightedge Superstar retained his title after being disqualified vs. Jeff Hardy. We wonder, though, if the eye injury he sustained will be too much to overcome heading into Night of Champions.
Facing Big Show is certainly an unenviable task, but the United States Champion took the bull by the horns on Raw and, unfortunately, came up just shy of victory as both men were counted out.
With his mask on the line and the Intercontinental Title up for grabs, The Master of the 619 outsmarted Chris Jericho at The Bash and was able to pick up a stunning victory to become champion again.
Even though The Friday Night Delight was victorious over Charlie Haas on "WWE Superstars," so much occured in WWE this week that Morrison still drops one spot.
When one door closes, another opens. And after losing the Intercontinental Title at The Bash, Jericho opened the door and seized the Unified Tag Team Championships with his partner, Edge.
Unfortunately for the two younger members of The Legacy, both failed to save leader Orton and came up short in tag team action at The Bash. As a result, the duo drops two spots down the list.
Dreamer is still the ECW Champion, defying the odds that were against him Sunday night. And now, after the 15 Superstar trade, The Land of Extreme is a totally different landscape for him to navigate.
It's all about The Game, and how he plays it this Monday night. He will need to get past a very tough obstacle in John Cena if he wants another chance to gain revenge and take Orton's gold in one fell swoop.
Being 0-2 on the week certainly shows that things haven't been going Captain Charisma's way as of late. He will have to turn things around immediately if he wants to stop sliding down the POWER 25.
After being traded to Raw, "The All-American American" tried to start things off right with a sign of respect - intentionally getting counted out in the Gauntlet Match against WWE Champion Randy Orton.
Losing the Unified Tag Team Titles Sunday as well as their rematch the following night against Edge & Chris Jericho obviously frustrated the Boriqua brothers a great deal.
Last year, McCool made history by becoming the first-ever Divas Champion. One year later at The Bash, she did it again by becoming the first Diva to have ever held both the Women's and Divas Titles.
The last few months haven't been the best for The World's Largest Athlete, and in a match against United States Champion Kofi Kingston on Ra, the match ended in a draw with both men being counted out.
Unfortunately for The Franchise Playa', his opportunity to face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at Night of Champions slipped through his fingers after a Pedigree and loss to Triple H on Raw.
If you don't know the name yet, you might want to put it to memory. Dolph Ziggler won two impressive matches this week, including a No Disqualification Match against The Great Khali at The Bash.
The first night of SmackDown was not a pleasant one for David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd and Natalya. Smith & Kidd teamed up in a losing effort against Cryme Tyme Friday night.
Out of action this week, the Divas Champion drops one spot, but we doubt that is what's on her mind. More likely, she's concentrating on her title defense against Mickie James in a few weeks.
A move to Monday nights might be just what the doctor ordered for The World's Strongest Man. He certainly made an impression on all the Raw Superstars after pinning WWE Champion Randy Orton.
After a win on Raw earned her the No. 1 contender spot for the Divas Championship, Mickie James will finally have her opportunity to face Maryse with the title on the line at Night of Champions.
His name is Finlay, and he may like to fight, but that wasn't enough to win him the ECW Title at The Bash. However, The Irishman stays put after an impressive win against Ricky Ortiz in his SmackDown debut.
Despite her victory in the Fatal Four Way Diva Match on SmackDown, Melina's loss to Michelle McCool at The Bash on Sunday cost her the Women's Championship - and six spots on the POWER 25.

Kane - At The Bash, The Big Red Machine returned with a fury and decimated The Great Khali. Add a win on SmackDown, and Kane has already grabbed the eyes of The Academy.
Zack Ryder- With an impressive win over newcomer Tyler Reks, the Long Island native has a lot to "Woo woo woo" about, and is one step closer to breaking onto the list.

The Legend Killer reclaims the No. 1 spot on the P25, but it could be a short-lived reign if Triple H gets the upper hand against him in their Three Stages of Hell Match and takes the WWE Championship for himself.
Although The Straightedge Superstar has the gold, a loss to John Morrison on SmackDown and his issues with Jeff Hardy prevent Punk from seizing the No. 1 position.
A World Heavyweight Championship win could quite possibly launch The Extreme Enigma to No. 1, but if he is unable to do so, he will most likely drop a few spots out of the top five.
The Jamaican Superstar has been a fighting champion, mon. And retaining the United States Title on "WWE Superstars" this week lands Kingston at No. 4 with two first place votes.
Cena may have lost his match on Raw, thanks to Big Show getting a helping hand, but perhaps now The World's Largest Athlete will leave him alone and Cena will be able to focus on shutting up The Miz.
In a huge Rage in a Cage Tag Team Match on SmackDown, Edge was able to capitalize on tension between CM Punk and Jeff Hardy shooting The Extreme Enigma with a Spear for the win.
Though The Friday Night Delight didn't win the World Heavyweight Title, he did beat the champion, CM Punk, on SmackDown in singles action. This certainly says a lot about where his young career is heading.
With a win over Primo on Raw, Cody Rhodes, along with partner Ted DiBiase, has momentum on his side when The Legacy face Carlito & his brother for the Unified Tag Team Titles.
The Master of the 619 had an up and down week with a win and a loss against his rival, Chris Jericho, in two tag team matches. The question is whether or not Mysterio will be able to pick up the win when it counts.
With a loss in tag team action against Mark Henry & Jack Swagger on ECW, any momentum Captain Charisma may have had was negated, and he will need to work extra hard if he wants to win the ECW Title.
Despite his loss in the Six-Man Tag Team Match on Raw, the Intercontinental Champion got the last laugh when he and Edge won in tag team action against Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio on SmackDown.
The Unified Tag Team Champions need to make sure they are on top of their game if they want to fend off The Legacy's Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase when their titles are on the line.
Swagger may have picked up two victories this week, but what happened at the end of ECW must have left a bad taste in his mouth when his tag team partner, Mark Henry, laid him out after their match.
The ECW Champion has his hands full with four men contending for his title, and after his tag team loss on ECW, things aren't looking too good when it comes to Dreamer holding onto ECW's top prize.
Although The Game wasn't able to defeat Randy Orton in their Last Man Standing Match on Raw, Triple H let The Legend Killer know that things between them are far from over.
Finally, The World's Largest Athlete was able to pick up a victory over John Cena in Raw's main event. As a result, Big Show is now headed in the right direction on the P25.
On "WWE Superstars," The Ballin' Superstar had his opportunity to regain the United States Championship, but fell short as Kofi Kingston retained his gold, sending MVP back to the drawing board.
The Hart Dynasty has proven themselves a force to be reckoned with both on ECW and throughout the entire WWE. Every Superstar should be on notice that these three are here to stay.
In recent weeks, Women's Champion Melina has had trouble dealing with Michelle McCool, and after SmackDown, she should be worried about how long she'll be able to keep the gold.
Although the Divas Champion may not feel she was at fault for her team's loss on Raw, Maryse must know now that Mickie James is on a mission to beat her and capture the Divas Championship.
With a win Friday night, McCool continued her recent hot streak and definitely has momentum enough for her to leave with the Women's Championship when the time is right.
Not only has Dolph Ziggler angered The Great Khali in recent weeks, he's also made it his goal to defeat The Punjabi Playboy. If he figures a way to pull it off, he will certainly rocket up the list.
On ECW, The World's Strongest Man sent a message to other ECW Championship contenders by not only defeating Tommy Dreamer and Christian, but also laying out Jack Swagger after their tag team match.
After certainly making a splash in the Land of the Extreme last week, Finlay continued to impress this week, and he let it be known to Tommy Dreamer and Christian that he'll be seeking "an eye for an eye."
As she's proven several times already, Mickie James is one of the top Divas on the Raw roster. Sooner or later, Divas Champion Maryse must face her one-on-one to find this out firsthand.

The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their position on the P25 this week:
Donald Trump - Just as quickly as he rose to the top, "The Donald" falls off the list after selling Raw back to Mr. McMahon and subsequently being fired.

With what was definitely the most powerful move of the week, if not in the history of WWE, Donald Trump claims this week's No. 1 spot on the P25 after buying Monday Night Raw from Mr. McMahon.
Although he may be dropping a spot this week, Punk was on fire with a successful title defense on Raw as well as defeating Rey Mysterio in one-on-one action in the main event of SmackDown.
The Legend Killer may not have been separated from the title for much more than a week, but Orton is much happier now that he is WWE Champion again. All he has to worry about now is Triple H ...
If it wasn't for CM Punk, Jeff Hardy might have pinned Edge to become the World Heavyweight Champion on Raw, but instead, The Extreme Enigma will have to await his next title opportunity at The Bash.
Cena drops a few spots this week after coming up short both in the WWE Title Fatal Four Way Match and then the Battle Royal main event to become the No. 1 contender to Randy Orton's title.
Just missing out on sticking in this week's top five, the United States Champion attempted to win an opportunity to add more gold to his resume, but was eliminated by The Legacy in the Battle Royal.
Even though Edge beat John Morrison on SmackDown, the bad outweighs the good this week as The Rated-R Superstar was pinned on Raw and then was snubbed out of the title match at The Bash.
With one win and two losses, Captain Charisma is lucky not to drop any further this week and will really need to step it up if he wants to have any momentum heading into the Scramble Match at The Bash.
Randy Orton's protégés may not have been successful in preventing Triple H from winning the battle royal Monday, but earlier in the night, they did take the opportunity to lay a beating on their Bash opponents.
Thanks in part to Chris Jericho, Mysterio lost Friday night against World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, but still must have enjoyed giving Jericho a taste of his own medicine, getting him counted out.
In a hard-fought contest, The Friday Night Delight was on the losing side of action against The Rated-R Superstar, but he looked very impressive in the match leading us to believe he has a bright future ahead.
Carlito & Primo won on both Raw & "WWE Superstars," causing them to jump up two spots. But after the beating they received from Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, they must be looking forward to The Bash.
With a successful title defense against Rey Mysterio Monday night, Chris Jericho still moves up two spots despite his loss to World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 contender Jeff Hardy on SmackDown.
There is no man more perfectly suited to be ECW Champion than Tommy Dreamer, who singularly encompasses what both the ECW of past and present mean, and what the future should be.
In a surprisingly unimpressive outing, Raw's Franchise Playa' was the second man eliminated in Monday night's battle royal that determined the No. 1 contender to Randy Orton's gold.
Last week, he returned. This week, he barely missed out on becoming the WWE Champion but still earned the No. 1 contender's spot by winning the battle royal main event on Monday night.
A big drop from a big man. No matter what he has done in the last several weeks, everything seems to be going against The World's Largest Athlete and the WWE Title loss on Raw is no different.
It is true that David Hart Smith defeated Christian in singles action on ECW, but on both Monday and Thursday nights, The Dynasty lost two matches which causes them to fall two spots.
The time will come when Maryse will have to face Mickie James one-on-one whether the Divas Championship is on the line or not. If it is, we believe that this beautiful French Diva has plenty to worry about.
With a victory, Melina stays strong on the list despite dropping one spot. If she can finally get Michelle McCool out of her hair sometime soon, there will seemingly be no one to take that title from her.
Being the first eliminated in a battle royal is never something to be proud of. Add that to the recent slide Hardy has been on, and Matt inches one step closer to falling off the list completely.
If it weren't for "The Donald" earning the No. 1 spot on the P25 this week, McCool would have been very likely to have kept her spot at No. 22 following her attack on Women's Champion Melina Friday night.
Not only is Dolph Ziggler a finely tuned WWE Superstar, he also proved on SmackDown that he's quite clever, picking up a victory against The Great Khali after setting it up to get Khali disqualified.
This week on ECW, The World's Strongest Man finally caught the speedy Evan Bourne right where he wanted him and then continued to dominate and obliterate "Air" Bourne on his way to victory.

Not only did The Straightedge Superstar win a Samoan Strap Match at Extreme Rules, but he also cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase and won the World Heavyweight Championship.
Thanks to a modified STF, John Cena once again defied all odds and did the seemingly impossible by making Big Show tap out in the center of the ring. Is there anything that this Superstar can't do?
Robbed again. The Extreme Enigma did exactly what he said he would do by winning the World Heavyweight Title from Edge. Unfortunately for him, his celebration was cut short by CM Punk.
Less than a week after winning the United States Title, The Jamaican Superstar had his first title defense at Extreme Rules and successfully defeated William Regal, Matt Hardy and MVP to retain the gold.
Edge can't be happy with losing his title, but after getting rid of any extra baggage in the form of former Raw GM Vickie Guerrero, now The Rated-R Superstar can fully concentrate on winning back the gold.
Things have not been going The Legend Killer's way as of late. He lost his title to Batista, and then his plan to win it back fell apart with the return of Triple H, who pummeled Orton Monday night.
Though Christian has the opportunity to regain the ECW Title on Monday night, losing it to Tommy Dreamer at Extreme Rules can't sit well with Captain Charisma -and his loss on ECW didn't help.
The Master of the 619 was M.I.A. this week after a huge loss at Extreme Rules to Chris Jericho that not only saw him drop the Intercontinental Championship but also his mask, too.
After months of doing whatever they could to help Randy Orton attain the WWE Championship, now Rhodes & DiBiase will have to do the same fighting for themselves to win the Unified Tag Titles.
Breaking even this week at 1-1, Morrison came up just a short in his match against Chris Jericho on "WWE Superstars," but made it up with a tag team win on SmackDown.
The World's Largest Athlete had a bad week. Not only did he lose to John Cena in a match that he thought he couldn't lose, he also watched as The Miz did what he wanted to do: beat Cena with a chair.
On Raw, MVP let it be known that with the WWE Title picture as it is now, he is throwing his hat in the ring and will be doing everything he can to earn an opportunity to vie for the gold.
Although they lost their tag match on Raw, The Colons are still the Unified Tag Team Champions, but will have to fight extra hard to defend their gold against Rhodes & DiBiase when the title match comes.
With his career on the line, the ECW Original fought for his livelihood at Extreme Rules and was able to come out on top after pinning Jack Swagger to become the new ECW Champion.
Living up to his word, Chris Jericho defeated Rey Mysterio at Extreme Rules to win the Intercontinental Title for a record ninth time and was able to unmask The Master of the 619 in the process.
It was a bad week for "The All-American American," but not as bad as it looks on paper, as even though he picked up two losses, one was due to him attacking his partner which resulted in his loss on ECW.
Due to the lack of cohesion between Christian and Jack Swagger on ECW, Tyson Kid & David Hart Smith were able to pick up the biggest victory for The Hart Dynasty to date on Tuesday night.
Doing Vickie Guerrero's bidding the last few weeks wasn't really working out for Matt Hardy, and with her gone, it's back to the drawing board for Matt. It will be interesting to see what he does next.
With her title on the line, the beautiful French champion proved that she was everything a Diva should be, sexy, smart & powerful as she defeated Kelly Kelly to stay on top of Raw's Divas division.
The Women's Champion has not been doing so hot as of late, and this week continued in that unfortunate fashion as Melina teamed up with Eve in a loss to Michelle McCool & Layla on SmackDown.
"Air" Bourne's ribs may be bruised after a brutal attack by Mark Henry, but that doesn't void the fact that the he picked up two wins this week, including one over Hall of Famer Tony Atlas.
Though she doesn't have Melina's title, Michelle McCool has certainly been a thorn in the side of the Women's Champion and continued to be so this week with a win over her in tag team action.
It wasn't exactly Tolkien-esque, but Raw saw the return of The King of Kings on Monday night as The Game made Randy Orton's nightmare a reality by manhandling Orton and The Legacy.
Over the last several weeks, the man whose name you won't forget, Dolph Ziggler, has been quite impressive. With a count-out win against The Great Khali Friday Night, Dolph is on the P25.
Both Brie & Nikki Bella can attest to the awesome power of this beauty. To prove the point, The Glamazon dominated The Bella Twins on "WWE Superstars" this week in tag team action.

While Jeff Hardy may have gotten the last laugh heading into this Sunday's Ladder Match, we at The Academy still believe that The Rated-R Superstar has the momentum heading into Extreme Rules.
No man in their right mind would want to be caged in with The Animal, but we believe that "The Viper" might have the mental edge over Batista after what he did to his friend and mentor Ric Flair on Raw.
Though The Master of the 619 may have gained a slight advantage over Chris Jericho heading into their match at Extreme Rules, his loss to World Heavyweight Champion Edge costs him one spot.
So far, Cena has not been able to lock the STF on Big Show, leaving us to wonder whether or not he will be capable of defeating The World's Largest Athlete in the Submission Match at Extreme Rules.
With Tommy Dreamer's hardcore experience and the raw skill and strength of Jack Swagger, the odds are against Captain Charisma retaining his title - but we aren't counting him out just yet.
We know that The Extreme Enigma is going to risk everything at Extreme Rules to win the World Heavyweight Championship, but one miscalculation could see Edge climbing the ladder to retain his gold.
As he proved against Cody Rhodes on Raw, The Animal knows how to use the steel cage to his advantage. We just hope that what happened to Ric Flair on Raw won't take Batista's focus off the gold.
Just days before he will find himself strapped to The Samoan Bulldozer, Mr. Money in the Bank proved he could do the unthinkable and put Umaga to sleep on SmackDown with a vicious GTS.
The World's Largest Athlete has been on the warpath as of late, which is what cost him his match on Raw, as he knocked out his own partner. But it might prove to be to his advantage against John Cena.
On more than one occassion, The Friday Night Delight has taken Shelton Benjamin for a ride with Starship Pain, and this week was no different, as Morrison defeated The Gold Standard in one-on-one action.
Just one week after winning the opportunity to fight for the gold, Kofi Kingston is now the United States Champion with a huge win over MVP this past Monday on Raw.
Dropping the United States Title and five spots can't make The Franchise Playa happy, but he has the opportunity to take both back if he can regain his title in the Fatal Four Way Match at Extreme Rules.
The golden brothers continue to stay red-hot this week getting a win over Matt Hardy & William Regal. With the guts they fight with, we see Carlito & Primo holding those titles for a very long time.
With a flip of a coin, either Rhodes or DiBiase was to "win" the opportunity to face Batista in the cage. Being the "lucky" one, Cody ended up getting brutalized by The Animal, resulting in a loss on Raw.
"The All-American American" has been out of action as of late, causing him to drop a couple spots. But a win at Extreme Rules will certainly point him back toward the top as the ECW Champion.
As proven on Raw, Matt Hardy and William Regal don't really meld that well as a team. That's fine, as there will be no love loss between the two when they compete in a Fatal Four Way at Extreme Rules.
ECW Champion or not, Jack Swagger better watch out as Finlay may be injured now, but assured all of the WWE Universe that he will be coming after "The All-American American" when he is healed.
Luckily for the Women's Champion, she keeps her spot at No. 18 this week. But, if she is pinned again next week - whether in singles or tag team action - Melina won't be nearly as fortunate.
On SmackDown, The Samoan Bulldozer was rudely introduced to CM Punk's knee, and because of that, we think Mr. Money in the Bank might be strapped to an even angrier beast at Extreme Rules.
The Hart Dynasty's week may have been split with a win on "WWE Superstars" and a loss on ECW, but they are certainly proving that their heritage will make them a force to be reckoned with.
In tag team action on Raw, the Divas Champion teamed with Beth Phoenix to defeat Kelly Kelly & Mickie James. The French Diva proved she is the definition of a true Diva: Sexy. Smart. Powerful.
This could very well be the last time the ECW Original will ever make the list, as he he has one last opportunity to win the ECW Title at Extreme Rules or will be leaving the company.
With an up-and-down week heading into his No Holds Barred Match at Extreme Rules, Jericho will need a win over Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio on pay-per-view to keep moving up.
The former Divas Champion may not have been the one that picked up the pin in the Six-Diva Tag Team Match on SmackDown, but she did enough to ensure that her team could achieve victory.
Although neither victory was by pinfall or submission, "Air" Bourne has notched two big wins over The World's Strongest Man Mark Henry on ECW. And for that, he breaks onto this week's list at No. 25.

After being tormented by Umaga for weeks, CM Punk turned the tables, bashing The Samoan Bulldozer with the Money in the Bank briefcase on Friday night.
The Shaman of Sexy had the unenviable task of facing Umaga on Fridays SmackDown and gave a more-than-valiant effort on his way to a disqualification victory.
It was a rough week for Legacy. Not only was the duo on the losing side of Raws five-on-five main event, but DiBiase was beaten by Cena on WWE Superstars.
The All-American American proved he is one of the best young Superstars in WWE this week with impressive victories on WWE Superstars and ECW on Sci Fi.

The Ultimate Underdog made a liar out of Chris Jericho at Judgment Day and successfully retained his title, which earns him this week's top spot on the P25. Now all he has to do is look toward Extreme Rules.
Although The Legend Killer lost his match at Judgment Day and the tag team match on Raw to Batista, he is still champion due to his devious mind getting himself disqualified on Sunday to retain the WWE Title.
The Rated-R Superstar was able to fend off The Charismatic Enigma, Jeff Hardy, at Judgment Day, but not Friday night, giving Jeff the opportunity to choose their Extreme Rules stipulation - a Ladder Match.
Technically, Christian only won two out of three of his matches this week, but that is only because Jack Swagger interrupted the ECW Title Match on Thursday night against Tommy Dreamer causing a no contest.
Thanks in part to his brother, The Charismatic Enigma came up short for Edge's title. But, after winning on SmackDown, he has another chance at Extreme Rules ... in a Ladder Match.
Cena beat Big Show at Judgment Day after an Attitude Adjustment, but failed several times to lock in the STF. That does not bode well, since they will have a rematch at Extreme Rules in a Submission Match.
As The World's Largest Athlete let it be known on Raw, Cena may have won the battle on Sunday, but he didn't win the war. The next task for Cena is to make Big Show tap out at Extreme Rules.
The Franchise Playa' had a huge match this week on Raw, as he had to defend his title against former long-time rival Matt Hardy. MVP was successful in doing so, and the gold stayed in his hands.
After defeating Randy Orton at Judgment Day and on Raw, The Animal is still left empty-handed after The Legend Killer got disqualified - something he won't be able to do in the steel cage at Extreme Rules.
The Straightedge Superstar had a rough week. Although he defeated Chris Jericho both Thursday and Friday, he was decimated by Umaga at Judgment Day and on SmackDown.
Despite being on the losing side against Batista & John Cena on Raw, the two young Superstars looked impressive in defeat with neither of them being the one who was pinned in the end.
Still on a roll, Morrison remained a thorn in the side of Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas, pinning both this week - Benjamin at Judgment Day and Haas Friday night in a Six-Man Tag Team Match.
After possibly costing his brother the World Heavyweight Title at Judgment Day, Matt also finished the week with no gold as he lost his United States Championship opportunity against MVP on Raw.
Things aren't looking good for the Irishman on ECW. He has more than a handful to deal with in the form of the "Hart Trilogy." That battle continued this week with a loss against David Hart Smith on Tuesday night.
After Carlito's loss to The Brian Kendrick last week, he redeemed himself this week when the Unified Tag Team Champions defeated The Brian Kendrick, and his partner, Goldust, on Raw.
The actions of "The All-American American" after his loss at Judgment Day disrupted the ECW Title Match on "WWE Superstars." It seems as though Swagger will continue like this until he gets his way.
Ever since he was kicked in the head by Randy Orton at Backlash, The Game has been M.I.A. with this week being no different - and that dropsTriple H four more spots.
Thanks both in part to an impressive performance on "WWE Superstars" and unimpressive outings by his colleagues, The Jamaican Superstar bounces up to No. 18 on the Power 25.
Though the Women's Champion was out of action this week, she sent a message to Michelle McCool via a slap across Alicia Fox's face. Now Melina has to look forward to defending her title against McCool.
Not only did Umaga beat Mr. Money in the Bank CM Punk at Judgment Day, but The Samoan Bulldozer also beat him down again Friday night and challenged Punk to a Strap Match at Extreme Rules.
Once again, Undertaker was out of action this week, and falls a few more spots. Sooner than later, The Deadman's luck is going to run out, and he will fall completely off the Power 25.
Maybe it was strategy or maybe the Divas Champion is scared of Mickie James. Either way, thanks to whatever she sprayed in Mickie James' eyes, Kelly Kelly is now No. 1 contender to her title.
With perhaps the biggest win of her young career, Kelly Kelly earned a future opportunity to face Divas Champion Maryse for the title, and gave The Academy enough reason to debut her at No. 23.
One of four new Superstars to earn their spots on the Power 25, the former Divas Champion secured her place after an impressive victory over Gail Kim to seize a Women's Championship opportunity.
After a couple weeks of just missing out on making the list, we welcome Dolph Ziggler onto the P25 after an impressive win over R-Truth on SmackDown and successfully evading The Great Khali.

FAREWELL
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their position on the P25 this week:
Kane - No match again this week mean's no more room on the list for Kane.
Chris Jericho - With three losses in one week, The Academy has no choice but to drop Jericho off the list.
Mickie James - Thanks to Maryse, Mickie lost her chance at the Divas Title and her spot on the P25.
Evan Bourne - "Air" Bourne seems to have disappeared into thin air and loses his spot on the P25 as a result.

The following Superstar(s) also received votes from members of The Academy:
The Miz - The loud mouth of the "Chick Magnet" has him earning even more votes this week, but we need to see some real action if he wants to break back on to the Power 25.
David Hart Smith- Though it hasn't been proven that Smith is better than his father, like he asserted, he certainly is making an impression on Finlay and the rest of the ECW roster.

Technically, The Legend Killer was victorious on Raw against his Judgment Day opponent, but after the beating he received, we wonder if he'll be able to retain his title against Batista this Sunday.
The Master of the 619 had a huge week, picking up momentum heading into his Intercontinental Title defense against Chris Jericho, with impressive showings on both Thursday and Friday nights.
Despite his disqualification victory against Chris Jericho on SmackDown, it looks like The Rated-R Superstar has his work cut out for him against Jeff Hardy after what has transpired in recent weeks.
With a win on SmackDown and perhaps getting the best of his Judgment Day opponent after the main event, The Charismatic Enigma could be in the perfect place to capture the gold.
There could be no bigger thorn in the side of John Cena than that of The World's Largest Athlete, and it will be interesting to see to what lengths Big Show will go in punishing the former champ.
Captain Charisma defeated Mark Henry in one-on-one action on "WWE Superstars" Thursday night moving him up one spot and giving him plenty of momentum heading into his ECW Championship defense.
Still showing signs of his injuries from being thrown into the 7,000-watt spotlight at Backlash by Big Show, Cena has an uphill battle as he prepares to face a mountain of a man in The World's Largest Athlete.
On more than one occasion, The Straightedge Superstar has been thwarted from cashing in Money in the Bank due to Umaga and needs to subdue The Samoan Bulldozer before he tries it again.
Even though the first "VIP Lounge" on Raw was cut short for a tag team action, the United States Champion continued to impress The Academy by picking up the win for his team on Monday night.
The Irishman may have been victorious on ECW after Tyson Kidd was disqualified, but his introduction to David Hart Smith was a brutal one that left Finlay with something he'll remember for a long time.
Due to some quick thinking on their part, Rhodes & DiBiase defeated Batista in the first match of the night on Raw this week, moving them two spots closer to The Legacy completely dominating the P25.
For the third week in a row, Matt Hardy was forced to compete on Raw against his will and despite him losing for the second week in a row, we will give Hardy one more chance to turn things around.
The throne on Raw seems to have been vacated since The King of Kings fell victim to Randy Orton's brutal punt at Backlash. When will The Game return to seek his retribution against The Legend Killer?
We kept Batista in the same spot this week, as even though he suffered two disqualification losses on Raw, The Animal took out all his frustrations on Randy Orton just days before the two face off.
In less than 72 hours, "The All-American American" will have the opportunity to regain the ECW Title he lost to Christian at Backlash, and perhaps shut Captain Charisma up for making fun of his lisp.
Morrison had a big week heading into Judgment Day, and now that things between Shelton Benjamin and Morrison will be settled there, it'll be interesting to see what happens when the two collide.
Being the Unified Tag Team Champions certainly puts a target on your back, and after The Brian Kendrick's win over Carlito on Raw, he assured the champions that he's coming for those titles.
Just like his brother Kane, The Deadman has been M.I.A. for the last several weeks. Because of that, Undertaker has fallen drastically from the top 10, and will continue to do so until he returns.
Thanks to a tag team victory on Friday night, the Women's Champion is back moving upward on the P25. We expect to see big things from Melina at the top of SmackDown's women's division.
Another week has gone by without a single sighting of Kane. Where is The Big Red Monster, and when will the sadistic Superstar return to wreak havoc on Friday Night SmackDown?
The Jamaican Superstar is on fire. With his third win in three weeks, Kofi Kingston moves up another two spots on the P25 after joining forces with MVP to defeat William Regal & Matt Hardy on Raw.
Jericho lost a lot of momentum this week after not only losing to Edge via disqualification, but also receiving a beat down by Rey Mysterio as he tried to make his exit on SmackDown.
In recent weeks, Mickie James has looked better than just impressive. We think that if she gets a golden opportunity to face Maryse for the Divas Championship, Mickie James might just come out on top.
After being on a roll for the past few weeks, "Air" Bourne was kept out of action this week on ECW. This leaves The Academy no choice but to drop the young Superstar two spots.
For the second week in a row, Mickie James pinned the Divas Champion. Maryse needs to step it up, as she just barely kept her spot on the P25 this week, and with another loss, she might not be so lucky.

Umaga - For the third week in a row, The Samoan Bulldozer attacked CM Punk, leaving us sure that if Umaga defeats Punk this Sunday, he'll be back on the P25.
Dolph Ziggler- Ziggler picked up an impressive win this week, but will certainly have to watch his back after crossing The Great Khali last week.
The Miz - Perhaps it isn't official, but in his own mind, The Miz is 3-0 against John Cena, and definitely looked impressive on Raw in their Exhibition Match.

The venomous WWE Champion may have lost the battle in the Handicap Match on Raw, but he looks to have won the war against the McMahons after shattering Shane's ankle in a brutal post-match attack.
The Master of the 619 may not have been in action this week, but the distraction he caused during Chris Jericho's match against Jeff Hardy cost Jericho a spot in Judgment Day's title match.
Not only did the World Heavyweight Champion lose for the second week in a row to CM Punk, The Rated-R Superstar was also victim of a Twist of Fate and Swanton Bomb on "WWE Superstars."
On both "WWE Superstars" and SmackDown, Jeff Hardy proved why he is the No. 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Title with a win over Jericho and a Swanton after "The Cutting Edge."
Answering the challenge from The Miz on Raw, the former champ stepped in it. Big Show followed him out to gain revenge for Cena costing him his match against Batista the week before.
The World's Largest Athlete is on the warpath and has one target in mind: John Cena. When the two collide at Judgment Day, Big Show will look to put Cena down once and for all.
Captain Charisma didn't have luck on his side this week on ECW. He was teamed with Tommy Dreamer and ended up on the losing side of the action against Mark Henry & Jack Swagger.
Although The Straightedge Superstar was brutally attacked by Umaga for the second week in a row, Punk did notch a win over the World Heavyweight Champion for the second week in a row.
Since falling victim to Randy Orton's brutal punt at Backlash that cost him the WWE Title, Triple H has not been seen or heard, leaving us wondering the level of damage The Game sustained from the kick.
Not only did The Irishman win in one-on-one action against Zack Ryder on "WWE Superstars," the night before, he sought redemption for his loss to Tyson Kidd a week prior by costing Kidd his match.
Despite being counted out in his match against Cody Rhodes, thus being unable to join forces with Shane McMahon in the main event, MVP showed that he is on Raw to fight the good fight against The Legacy.
Even though Matt officially declared that his match against Kofi Kingston this week was under protest due to him being injured, in the eyes of the Academy, it was still an official match and an official loss for Hardy.
Both DiBiase & Rhodes had huge weeks on Raw, as not only did they win their singles matches against MVP & Batista, they also helped Randy Orton decimate Shane McMahon after the main event.
Although Batista's intensity is what makes him The Animal, it can also backfire like it did this week on Raw, which got him disqualified against DiBiase and left Shane McMahon with a 3-on-1 Handicap Match.
"The All-American American" has bounced back since his title loss at Backlash, and continued to prove his hunger to regain the ECW Championship with a tag team win on ECW over Tommy Dreamer & Christian.
Another week and still no Deadman. The Phenom drops another four spots. At this pace, if he isn't back anytime soon, Undertaker will be off the Power 25 before we know it.
With Carlito's win on Raw over The Brian Kendrick, the Unified Tag Team Champions continue to impress The Academy and we think that the gold will be held tight in their clutches for a long time to come.
The Big Red Monster may drop three spots due to not being in action this week, but we're more worried about where he is and what that sinister mind of his might be conjuring up... and who it might hurt.
Despite a loss on "WWE Superstars" to Chris Jericho Thursday night, The Shaman of Sexy ended the week on a high note with a win over Charlie Haas on SmackDown.
Even though Chris Jericho lost on SmackDown, his victory over John Morrison on "WWE Superstars" was enough for the first-ever Undisputed Champion to move up one spot.
The Women's Champion was once again M.I.A. this week leaving The Academy no choice but to drop her another two spots. Melina needs to step up her game if she wants to last as champion on SmackDown.
"Air" Bourne has been on a roll on ECW, and this week, the WWE Universe was lucky enough to witness another awesome display of his aerial skills in his victory over Tyson Kidd Tuesday night.
For the second week in a row, The Jamaican Superstar has picked up an impressive victory over a new member of the Raw roster, this week defeating Matt Hardy in a singles match.
In one-on-one action on Raw, Mickie James defeated the Divas Champion in a non-title action. She's lucky that the title wasn't on the line as she would have lost more than just one spot on the P25.
After an impressive win on Raw over Divas Champion Maryse, Mickie James breaks the Power 25. If she wants it bad enough, Mickie could well take the title from Maryse.

Michelle McCool - Two weeks in a row, McCool has picked up impressive victories, which leaves us to wonder if she might be the next to challenge for Melina's Women's Title.
