1. Magnus Gunner (Last Ranking: 3)
-Heading into Battle Without Honor or Humanity, Magnus Gunner has managed to grab the top spot of the rankings once more. While the "Loaded Pistol" could not lead his team to victory in the main event, the fact that he and his Gods & Monsterstools cohorts were left standing when the smoke cleared at the end of the show and the fact that he had some spine chilling words at the end of the show just managed to snag him that top spot. Magnus Gunner certainly made it known what he intends to do should (or when, if you ask him) he become the EXODUS Pro World champion. At the iPPV, he will get another chance to become the World champion as he takes on the man holding the big gold belt in Zero McHannon, Chris Strike, and the man on the hottest of rolls, Steve Lenton. Can Magnus Gunner walk away with the belt that has eluded him for so many months? If that happens, may God help us all...
2. Steve Lenton (Last Ranking: 1)
-Steve Lenton dropping a spot does not take away from how impressive he has been these past couple of weeks. He defeated the World champion and his number one contender. Of course, while many knew Steve was going to be part of the colossal World title match in Japan, Christian Kane had to make it official this past show. Then, Steve Lenton would go on to defeat a very game Jaime Alejandro, continuing his winning ways. Not to mention that at the end of the show, the Big L was the only man standing as he stared down Gunner from afar and giving him a nice message while he was at it. Steve Lenton will look to be continuing his winning ways as he fights Zero McHannon, Chris Strike, and Magnus Gunner for the World title. Can the big man put all three men down and walk away with a big gold belt to match his tag title?
3. Zero McHannon (Last Ranking: 2)
-It's a small drop for the World champion, but after losing to Steve Lenton four weeks ago, he has seemed rather unbeatable. Zero was able to put down Magnus Gunner for a three count and his team was able to walk away with a victory on this past show's main event. Before the match, Zero McHannon had himself a nice little chat with Magnus Gunner and basically told Gunner that the title around his waist was going absolutely nowhere. After helping his team get a very nice 'W', the World champion looks more than ready to take on the three men gunning for his title. Can Zero McHannon hold on to the title? Or will the World title get a nice curse of its own, just like the International title?
4. Chris Strike (Last Ranking: 6)
-Chris Strike cracks the top 5 once more with a stellar performance in the 10-man tag main event, where his team would end up being victorious. It seems as if Strike has gotten back on track, though he seemed rather quiet this week. Strike was able to personally get the victory for his team, so he'll certainly be using that little momentum and making the most out of it when he fights for the World title at Battle Without Honor or Humanity. Finally, after weeks of having to deal with Christian Kane, Strike gets his chance. Granted, with two extra men inside of that ring. Can Can Chris Strike get himself some EXODUS Pro gold?
5. Jimmy Riley (Last Ranking: NR)
-Rounding out our top 5 this week is none other than current San Diego Bay Champion, Jimmy Riley. Jimmy Riley would face Seymour Almasy this past show, the fate of Block B in the balance. Blake Jones would win earlier on in the show, going to 2-1, which meant that Riley would have to defeat Almasy to win the group, otherwise the group would end up in a three way tie. So, the San Diego Bay champ would do what he had to do and would put down the Judge Magister, getting him another huge win and winning Block B in the process. Jimmy Riley, now a semi-finalist in the Honor Cup, will have to face three other people (due to the three way tie in Block C) for his title and to move on to the finals. Can Riley outlast Rourke, Taylor, and Zeppeli and make it to the finals? Can he win the whole thing? Or will his title no longer be around his waist by the time Battle Without Honor or Humanity ends?
6. Savannah Taylor (Last Ranking: NR)
-The "Las Vegas Siren" returns to our top 10 this week after an impressive performance this past show. It was do or die time for Savannah Taylor as her Block C chances were slowly fading away following a loss to Fiona Rourke on the last show. But, Savannah Taylor was able to defeat Kira T. Zeppeli, causing a three way tie in Block C and forcing Christian Kane to make all three of them (Kira, Savannah, and Fiona) co-winners of Block C. Now, Savannah Taylor will be getting her first chance at gold as she and the other two people in her block will face the SDB champion for his title and the right to become an Honor Cup finalist. Can the Las Vegas native pull off yet another victory? Can she walk away with a strap and a Cup by the end of the night? Or will her dreams be dashed?
7. Fiona Rourke (Last Ranking: 9)
-Fiona Rourke remains in our top 10 with an impressive showing in this last show's main event. The Strong Style Seraph not only helped her team to victory, but was able to Shinigami Brett Sands. I think there are many people who would have loved to have done that. Before helping her team get the victory, Fiona Rourke would learn that her Honor Cup chances were still alive as she watched Savannah Taylor defeat Kira T. Zeppeli. Now, being saved by Savannah Taylor, Fiona Rourke looks to try and pick up Triple Crown honors at Battle Without Honor or Humanity as she takes on the SDB champion and her co-winners of Block C for the SDB championship and a finals spot in the Honor Cup. Can the Strong Style Seraph get to the finals? Will she become a Triple Crown winner and get that Honor Cup? Or will she be stopped short of her goal of getting to the top?
8. Andreas Lasiewicz (Last Ranking: 5)
-Andreas Lasiewicz drops a couple of spots this week. Having already locked in his block (Block D), Andreas was placed in the huge ten man main event where he would be part of the winning team. Of course, that wouldn't come without a price as he would be busted wide open and would almost be attacked by the man who has been a thorn in EXODUS's side for the past few weeks in Brandon Banks. But now, "The Morning Star" will go one-on-one with Zack Lifer at Battle Without Honor or Humanity for Lifer's International title and a finals spot in the Honor Cup. Can Andreas Lasiewicz pick up more EXODUS gold and a finals spot? Can he earn himself a chance to win yet another World title? Or will Zack Lifer finally get the best of him?
9. The Chapel Show (Last Ranking: NR)
-The Chapel Show makes a top 10 debut! After an impressive tag team debut, where they would literally destroy the team of Chris Marks and Braxton Bennett, the rankings computer liked what it saw and put them into our top 10. The duo is a rather entertaining bunch, their small vignettes getting the attention of fans everywhere, so we are in for one hell of a dark match as The Chapel Show team with Angry Pete (PIIIIIIIIIIISS) and Shinji Uchikawa to face Chris Marks (LOL Chris Marks), newcomer Daniel Forsythe, Parker Wayde, and Spirit Z. Can the Chapel Show continue their winning ways?
10. Blake Jones (Last Ranking: 8)
-Jones takes a tumble down the top 10, but still manages to round it out. Blake Jones, 1-1 in Block B, knew that he had to pull off a victory against Cthulu Jones and he did just that. Blake would defeat Cthulu fast than any competitor has been able to do so far in EXODUS Pro. This would give Blake a 2-1 record in his block, only to come just short in tying for it as Jimmy Riley was able to put down Seymour Almasy for the three count and Block B. Blake Jones would have to watch from backstage as he finished in second place in a rather competitive group. Now, Blake Jones will look to make good on his challenge to a man he has already defeated before, XAVIOR, as they will fight anywhere and everywhere in a falls count anywhere match at the iPPV! Can Blake continue his winning ways? Or will XAVIOR prove that Blake's victory over him was nothing more than a fluke?
Just Missed the Cut:
-Jaime Alejandro
-Nate Soto
-Angry Pete
-Heading into Battle Without Honor or Humanity, Magnus Gunner has managed to grab the top spot of the rankings once more. While the "Loaded Pistol" could not lead his team to victory in the main event, the fact that he and his Gods & Monsters
