| 1 | |  JOHN CENA (17) Victories over four past champions at Vengeance: Night of Champions and over the ECW World Champion Tuesday gives Cena a near-sweep of first-place votes in the P25. | 2 |
| 2 | |  EDGE (2) A count-out victory over Batista at the Night of Champions saved the Rated-R Superstar’s World Heavyweight Championship, but he couldn’t avoid The Animal’s rage on Friday. | 1 |
| 3 | |  BATISTA A tactical error led to The Animal’s count-out loss to Edge at the Night of Champions. He let loose all his frustration on the champion Friday night, scoring a non-title victory. | 3 |
| 4 | |  BOBBY LASHLEY The Dominator traded blows with John Cena on Sunday, but ended up on the wrong end of an FU through the announce table. If we were Cena, we’d watch our backs. | 4 |
| 5 | |  THE HARDYS (JEFF & MATT) Jeff & Matt couldn’t regain the World Tag Team Championship on Sunday, falling short to Cade & Murdoch. But Matt beat Cade in SmackDown singles action. | 5 |
| 6 | |  CM PUNK The Straightedge Superstar got surprised by Nitro in their ECW World Title match at the Night of Champions, but winning the No. 1 Contendership guarantees Punk a return engagement. | 6 |

| 9 | |  JOHNNY NITRO Like something from a Hollywood script, Nitro was a surprise opponent for CM Punk at Vengeance: Night of Champions, and shocked the world becoming ECW World Champion. He debuts at No. 9! | NR |
| 10 | |  UMAGA Even though the Samoan Bulldozer was disqualified in his match against Santino Marella on Sunday, he looked to be in top form, leaving the champ laying. | 10 |
| 11 | |  THE GREAT KHALI The Indian colossus promised to have a “fun time” with Eugene in his SmackDown post-Draft debut. We think the giant did, powering through Eugene in about a minute for the win. | 11 |
| 12 | |  LANCE CADE & TREVOR MURDOCH The blue-collar World Tag Team Champions successfully defended their titles against The Hardys at the Night of Champions. And they stayed within the rules. How long that lasts is unknown. | 13 |
| 13 | |  DEUCE & DOMINO The WWE Tag Team Champions from the Other Side of the Tracks defeated a pair from the other side of the 1990s – Sgt. Slaughter and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka – on Sunday. | 14 |
| 14 | |  MARK HENRY The World’s Strongest Man might want to keep an eye out for Kane, who recently returned to the SmackDown locker room. Henry put Kane’s lights out at One Night Stand with a crushing Bearhug. | 12 |

| 21 | |  JIMMY WANG YANG The cowboy crossover had Chavo Guerrero’s number in previous weeks, but fell just short on Sunday when the Cruiserweight Championship was on the line. | 20 |
| 22 | |  MELINA The paparazzi princess was upset by Candice, costing her the Women’s Championship. Locker room sources said she broke a photographer’s camera in anger post-match. | 19 |
| 23 | |  SANTINO MARELLA We know the Intercontinental Champion has been called the “Milan Miracle,” but it’s a miracle Umaga didn’t injure Marella worse. The ref’s disqualification of Umaga saved the Italian’s title. | 22 |
