1. Chris Strike (Last Ranking: 5)
After a very impressive victory over Reverend Matthews, Chris Strike has gotten a main event victory in his second ever EXODUS Pro Match to launch him to number one. Talk about a quick climb up the ladder. The former God of Thunder is set to face Christian Kane in a No Holds Barred match at No Church in the Wild. Can he keep this impressive string of victories going?
2. Sally Talfourd (Last Ranking: 1)
After holding on to the top spot, she finally drops to number two after a huge showing by Chris Strike. The Last Magician did still get a victory over Wulf Erikssen, one of her NCITW opponents as the Turks are set to defend their tag team championships against Wulf and Steve Lenton. Ranked number one or not, she is still on one of the most impressive current winning streaks in the company.
3. Kliff Ulysses (Last Ranking: 4)
The legendary Kliff Ulysses picks up another win to climb one spot on this ranking against Joshua Sullivan. He also showed some heroism as he came to the aid of Blake Jones after Jones was left partnerless thanks to an exective decision (more on that on the next one). Kliff has made it clear that he is willing to stand up to the Gods & Monsters and is set to face Magnus Gunner to prove it.
4. Adrien Cochrane & Zero McHannon (Last Ranking: 2)
The heated rivalry is only getting more interesting between these two individuals as they are still ranked together, this time at number four. The co-number one contenders were announced that they were both getting their World Title shot at Heather Halliwell. Cochrane was very happy about that. Zero was not. McHannon struck Cochrane with the belt to cause him to be ejected from the arena by Nicholas Gray. Cochrane himself was ejected later by Edward Nair for "health concerns". Neither man competed like they were booked so they did drop two spots, but one of them (or Heather Halliwell) may end up holding on to the championship at the end and a huge leap in the rankings could follow.
5. Johnny Cannon (Last Ranking: 9)
Johnny Cannon had one of the greatest warm up matches as he dominated against Chris "The Filth" Marks. Cannon is the second person in EXODUS Pro History to win two different championships. And now he is going to attempt to be the first person since Fiona Rourke to successfully defend the International Title as he faces...well, to be announced. Will it be the Deacon? Will Jerry try to make his case once more? Who knows?
6. Jerry Matthews (Last Ranking: NR)
The Reverend was able to make the rankings despite a tough loss to Chris Strike. He was told by Jonathan Collins that without a victory over Strike, he wasn't getting a title shot at Johnny Cannon. Any match for Matthews at No Church in the Wild has not been announced yet.
7. Steve Lenton (Last Ranking: NR)
Steve Lenton...well, he kinda got a victory over number one contender Zero McHannon. Zero did technically forfeit. The Big L is set to take on the Turks along with Wulf Erikssen. While Wulf was easily defeated by Sally this show, but will Lenton prove himself to be the X factor in this match and provide enough push for the tag team victory? He is a former International Champion so anything can happen when this man is in the ring.
8. Joshua Sullivan (Last Ranking: NR)
Joshua Sullivan may have lost his match against Kliff Ulysses, but he was able to get the last laugh before the night was over by weaseling his way to a San Diego Bay Title match against Sylar Drake. And let's be fair, the loss was to Kliff. The highest ranked "Edward Nair guy" makes his ranking debut at number 8.
9. Blake Jones (Last Ranking: 8)
Blake Jones got a no contest this week as his tag team partner for the night was ejected and he was ambushed by his opponents. Fortunately, Kliff Ulysses made sure he didn't get too roughed up. Blake Jones and Ryuji Kamigawa are set to face off inside a steel cage. If Blake can pull that off, he's sure to rise up these rankings.
10. Gods & Monsters (Magnus Gunner & Ryuji Kamigawa) (Last Ranking: NR)
It's tough not to rank these monsters (pun totally intended). They did get a victory or loss due to strange circumstances, but they did prove themselves to be two of the most dangerous people to meet in a dark alley on this entire roster. Gunner is set to face Kliff Ulysses and Kamigawa against Jones. If these two both get victories, they might be future tag team champions.
