Here is the key code for the rankings shorthand when referencing their position in relation to the previous week:
NR = Not included in last week's rankings at all
+ Green = the number of moves up in the rankings compared to last week
- Red = the number of moves down in the rankings compared to last week
Honorable Mentions = five superstars who just barely missed the cut
This is the final Power Rankings before the annual "WrestleMania Reboot", where we begin the year all over again based on the results of The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Therefore, congratulations are in order for Seth Rollins who finished first in The Power Rankings Table for 2019/2020 after an incredible 45 appearances this year. Rollins snuck ahead in the last few weeks to surpass Becky Lynch and The New Day (who both tied for most weeks at No.1 in the rankings at 11 weeks apiece).
With that all out of the way, here are your final Power Rankings for this season and we'll see you for the WrestleMania Reboot!
10. Tamina [NR]
She waited until the very last week of the year to make her mark on the Power Rankings, but Tamina sneaks in after defeating Naomi and Lacey Evans on SmackDown ahead of the Fatal Five-Way for Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship.
9. Dakota Kai [NR]
In NXT's 'Last Chance' Gauntlet Match, Dakota Kai took advantage of an exhausted Shotzi Blackheart to earn the final spot in the Six-Woman Ladder Match to determine the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship.
8. Jordan Devlin [-2]
After defeating Travis Banks last week, Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin was absent from in-ring competition this week on NXT UK.
7. Ilja Dragunov [NR]
Speaking of NXT UK, Ilja Dragunov overcame 19 other superstars in a Battle Royal to earn an opportunity to face Walter for the NXT UK Championship sometime down the road.
6. Seth Rollins & Murphy [-1]
With Murphy out of the picture for the time being, Seth Rollins teamed with Angel Garza and Austin Theory on Raw in a losing effort to Kevin Owens and The Street Profits, although Rollins did land a Stomp on Owens post-match.
5. Keith Lee [NR]
In a clash of three behemoths on NXT this week, Keith Lee successfully held onto his North American Championship by defeating Dominik Dijakovic and Damian Priest.
4. Drew McIntyre [-1]
The final build for the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 36 was left to Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman on Raw this week, with Drew McIntyre virtually nowhere to be seen.
3. Miz & Morrison [-1]
While they got the better of both The Usos and The New Day in a brawl to kick-off this week's SmackDown, no in-ring action sees Miz & Morrison slip down the rankings.
2. Daniel Bryan & Drew Gulak [+2]
The collaboration of Daniel Bryan & Drew Gulak continues to reap results, as this week Bryan defeated Shinsuke Nakamura, albeit by DQ. The dream match was cut short by interference as we await Bryan challenging Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship.
1. The Street Profits [No Change]
The Street Profits stand atop the final Power Rankings for this season. The Raw Tag Team Champions paired up with Kevin Owens to defeat Seth Rollins, Angel Garza and Austin Theory in a solid Six-Man Tag.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Kevin Owens - Kevin Owens' Stunner secured his team's victory over Seth Rollins, Angel Garza and Austin Theory on Raw, although he ate a Stomp following the win.
