WWE Power Rankings: June 8, 2026

🏆 WAW Power Rankings · WWE · Monday, June 8, 2026

WWE’s European Summer Tour is rolling through Paris tonight, with the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments heating up and a loaded Raw card keeping momentum high heading toward Night of Champions.

1

#1. Oba Femi

The Ruler is opening Raw in Paris and WWE just dropped a major announcement about his immediate future — that’s top-of-the-card real estate right now. Eric Bischoff is publicly lobbying for him to continue feuding with Brock Lesnar rather than pivot to Gunther, which tells you everything about how hot this program is. He’s the name everyone is talking about.
🏆 None currently — but that feels temporary

#2. Sol Ruca

She just defended the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at the Florence live event and has a title match against Lyra Valkyria confirmed for tonight’s Raw. Multiple outlets are covering her rise, AJ Styles is publicly saying WWE would be “dumb” not to push her, and Charlotte Flair is credited with helping develop her. The rocket is fully strapped.

#3. Brock Lesnar

Lesnar’s fingerprints are all over the top of the card right now — his win over Oba Femi at Clash in Italy is still reverberating, and the debate about whether he pivots to Gunther or stays on Femi is dominating analyst conversation. He’s not at every show but his shadow looms enormous. Classic Lesnar: maximum impact, minimum appearances.

#4. Penta

He’s defending the Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio on tonight’s Raw in Paris, which is a marquee title match on a marquee international show. He’s holding gold on the biggest weekly show in wrestling and performing in front of European crowds. Solid, consistent top-of-card positioning.

#5. Rhea Ripley

WrestleTalk is already speculating about her SummerSlam 2026 opponent, and she’s sitting atop the SmackDown women’s division with the Women’s Championship. She appeared on Raw the week prior to make waves. When outlets are building SummerSlam narratives around you in early June, you’re locked in.

#6. Giulia

She snapped on Kiana James on SmackDown this past Friday, attacking her former associate in a betrayal angle that WWE immediately capitalized on with a backstage video. Turns are rocket fuel when executed sharply, and this one has people talking. A fresh character direction for one of NXT’s most decorated alumni.

#7. R-Truth

He’s all over the coverage this week — multiple stories about his emotional journey, his family, his medical status after the MFTs angle, and his comedic legacy. He’s still not cleared to return to the ring, which is actually adding intrigue and sympathy heat. Few people generate this much warmth from the fanbase while technically sidelined.

#8. Chad Gable

AJ Styles is publicly calling him a missed opportunity if WWE doesn’t push him, and Eric Bischoff is reporting he’s “sniffing around” Real American Freestyle outside of WWE. That outside flirtation, combined with growing fan frustration at his underutilization, makes him one of the most talked-about undercard names this week.

#9. Dominik Mysterio

A TJR report surfaced this week about potential backstage heat regarding Dominik, which is never ideal, but any heat is press. He’s been riding high with multiple Intercontinental Championship reigns and big wins over legends — but a trajectory question mark is hanging over him right now.

#10. Bron Breakker

He was involved in a fan incident that prompted a WWE statement — that’s the kind of story that keeps a name visible even without a major on-screen angle. Love him or hate him, he’s generating news, and his physical presence keeps him in the conversation at the top of the roster.

👀 One to Watch

Keep an eye on Lyra Valkyria — she’s getting a Women’s Intercontinental title shot tonight in Paris, and a win there would immediately shoot her into the top five.
