1. Zero McHannon (Last Ranking: 3)
So, who here has beaten Christian Kane one week, then goes on to beat Heather Halliwell and Adrien Cochrane for the EXODUS Pro World title? No one? Well, add the first person to that list. Zero McHannon, sporting an attitude that doesn't make you want to kick his face repeatedly but actually makes you want to shake his hand, was able to capture the EXODUS Pro World title and become the fifth World champion in the history of the company during it's one year mark. This great victory surged Zero from 3rd on our rankings list to numero uno. But, the road has not gotten easier for the World champ as he will be facing Jerry Matthews in the main event of the next show, and you can bet your ass that Matthews will not be coming into that match happy. Can the new champ defeat the Evangelist?
2. Chris Strike (Last Ranking: 2)
Yay, Chris Strike! The new number one contender for the World title earned his status after closing shut the book of "Kane vs Strike" by defeating Christian Kane and ending their long rivalry. Afterwards, Christian Kane would quit the company yet again, making Strike look even better with this pure wrestling rules match. Now, it's forward to the World title, a title he earned a shot at a couple of weeks ago before having it stripped from him. But, before he can get Zero McHannon in that ring, Chris Strike has to face Shinji Uchikawa in Shinji's TV debut! Let's jsut hope Strike doesn't beat him up too badly...#NoRailroadSpikes.
3. Johnny Cannon (Last Ranking: N/A)
The Party Boy of EXODUS has risen to the occasion yet again! The only man to have appeared on every single EXODUS Pro card is now a 2-TIME, 2-TIME, 2-TIME EXODUS Pro International champion, defeating Abby Park and Jimmy Riley to regain a title he dropped six weeks prior. Johnny Cannon is a fighter, no doubt about that, and he will certainly love a spot in the Honor Cup. Unfortunately for Johnny, he has to defend his title successfully to earn a spot and his opponent may be about as crazy as he is drunk. Will Johnny Cannon rise to the occasion once more or will Zack Lifer pick up his first EXODUS Pro championship? Let's see what happens. All we know is that "Mr. EXODUS" will be having a nonstop party leading to this next EXODUS Pro show.
4. Fiona Rourke (Last Ranking: 4)
Has anybody else missed Fiona Rourke? Yeah, I have too. Fiona made her return to singles competition and took the fight to the man who took her out for a few months in the first place, Jerry Matthews. Not only would Fiona put up a hell of a fight, but she would walk out victorious, immediately putting the World champion and anyone looking to get into the Honor Cup on notice. The former champ is back and she wants to change that title from "former" to "current". And she can start this next show when she faces the newly signed monster who came short in the San Diego Bay title gauntlet and who has been running wild throughout XWA, Whisper. Can Fiona continue her winning ways or will Whisper pull off what some may call an upset?
5. The Turks (Last Ranking: 6)
The Turks jump a spot after retaining their tag titles in what some called a show stealer against Trouble and Gods & Monsters. The veteran Andreas Lasiewicz and his partner Sally Talfourd managed to defeat the team of Trouble (again) and the pairing of the dangerous Magnus Gunner and the crazy bastard known as Zack Lifer, better known as Gods & Monsters in a match that trended worldwide. Now, the Turks face Trouble (I know, we have run out of tag teams) for the EXODUS Pro World Tag Team titles in a match that will get the winning team two spots in the tourney (one for each partner). Will the Turks defend their titles yet again and continue their dominance? Or will it be the27th 4th time's the charm for Trouble?
6. Blake Jones (Last Ranking: 5)
Just because you drop a spot doesn't mean you did bad. In fact, Blake Jones did good. REAL GOOD. In his third attempt at the San Diego Bay title, a title Blake had so desperately wanted since the moment he stepped in to EXODUS, the Philly Young Gun did not disappoint as he took the fight to Kira T. Zeppeli and defeated him. Though this should have been one of Blake's greatest moments in EXODUS, the Philly Young Gun had to watch his friend in a match that didn't exactly end that well for Mr. Drake, making the moment bittersweet. But, Blake can't take his eyes off the prize. A spot at the Honor Cup basically has his name on it and all he has to do is defeat new number one contender XAVIOR before attempting yet another chance at the EXODUS Pro World title. Will the Philly Young Gun make a successful first defense?
7. XAVIOR (Last Ranking: N/A)
XAVIOR makes it onto our rankings list after an impressive performance in the San Diego Bay gauntlet, coming out as the winner and new number one contender to the San Diego Bay title. It won't be easy for the newcomer, but XAVIOR only has one loss to his record and that came from a tag team match in which he was not pinned in. Can XAVIOR capture the San Diego Bay title and pull off a major upset?
8. Gabriel Gambino (Last Ranking: N/A)
For weeks now, Gambino's loyalty has been questioned by EXODUS Pro fans and even some of the roster members. After signing a lucrative contract with Edward Nair, a lot of people thought that Gambino had changed his alliance to Nair. But, after defeating Jack Napier at Autumn Effect, Gambino would show that his loyalty has always been with GoW, hitting Edward Nair with Fongul (lucky bastard). Now, Gambino gets a shot to be in the Honor Cup if he can get past the very impressive Kylar Stark. Can Gambino pull off yet another victory? Or will he be damned?
9. Brett Sands (Last Ranking: N/A)
For weeks now, Brett Sands (under the name "Big Brother" and wearing a mask) went on to attack Blake Jones a few times and even Sylar Drake once. Many people on the roster decided to ignore "Big Brother", so he came out to the middle of the ring two weeks before Autumn Effect and challenged anyone on the roster to a match. Sylar Drake would accept the challenge and the two would have a rather hard fought match. Sylar Drake seemed to be putting Brett away until an awkward landing allowed Brett to go after the ankle and hurt it so badly that Drake will now miss 6-8 months of action. Brett would come out victorious with a DQ victory after Blake would come out there and prevent more damage from being done. The Ohioan would then reveal himself to the EXODUS pro audience, stunning them and Blake. Now, Brett looks to continue making an impact as he faces former World Champion Adrien Cochrane for a spot in the Honor Cup. Can Brett stun the world and pull off an impressive victory?
10. Adrien Cochrane (Last Ranking: 1)
Losing the EXODUS Pro World title would crush some people...or even drive them to insanity (*coughs*Heather Halliwell*coughs*), but not Adrien Cochrane. After losing his title in one of the best matches we have ever seen in EXODUS, the "Dropkick King" will obviously be looking to regain the title. A lot believe that the former champ should be getting getting a rematch with Zero McHannon instead of trying to fight for a spot in the Honor Cup. But, the "Dropkick King" does not really care. He will fight anyone, anytime, and it looks like he will be getting a man who has only had one match in EXODUS, Brett Sands. Will the former champ strike with an Adrien Cutter and get a spot in the Honor Cup?
Just Missed The Cut:
-Kylar Stark
-Heather Halliwell
-Gods & Monsters
