1. Christum Furor: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- I'm still hoping this is just a bad nightmare, for what transpired at Ascendancy has already rocked EXODUS to its core. During the adolescent stages of the broadcast, Christum Furor led a deceleration of intent from Gods & Monsters, then professed the fall of Fiona Collins right before their Main Event. Foreshadowing. Indeed, Christum Furor defeated his rival for the first time in their EXODUS tenure -thanks in part to the assist from Savannah Taylor. On a night G&M went 3-0, the World Champion was not celebrating - he was dismayed as WEAPON unmasked as Chris Strike, immediately targeting him.
2. Lexy Chapel: (Previous Ranking: 5)
- Lexy Chapel has earned her spot in EXODUS. She's the International Champion because she always overcame the odds. Not until suffering her first professional loss did people begin to question her tenacity, but she proved them wrong and needed to in her V2 defense against a very game Kerry Windsor. In a match where she was faced with constant adversity and insurmountable odds, Chapel eventually defeated Kerry to retain her belt, reminding everyone exactly why she's the fastest rising star in company history.
3. Sally Talfourd: (Previous Ranking: 8)
- The Last Magician had all the tricks in the book on full display this past Monday. She defeated WEAPON in a match that was hot from start to finish, proving on that night that the EXODUS Fail-Safe was no match for her will. However, WEAPON would get the last laugh, putting Talfourd through the Japanese Announce Table on his way out.
4. Dragons Unleashed: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- They're high-flying veterans who have captured numerous Tag Titles in their careers, and they just added the EXODUS Tag Team titles in Tokyo. Dragon's Unleased stood tall in the end, outlasting The Short Change Heroes (who disbanded when Johnny Cannon attacked Abby Park), TROUBLE, and the Generation of Miracles in a show stealing match. The new World Tag Team Champions have immediately proven their worth - and they'll have to do it again in two weeks as they defend against the former champs, The Generation of Miracles.
5. Savannah Taylor: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- We hear her now, even though she believes otherwise. It's hard to disregard what Savannah Taylor has done, becoming the longest reigning and most successful San Diego Bay Champion in history. She achieved that feat when she defeated Jessica Lasiewicz in a competitive contest.
6. Christian Kane: (Previous Ranking: 3)
- Christian Kane looks like a man not to be trifled with. The leader of #StudLife was all business in Tokyo as he took on hated rival, Brett Sands. It was heated. It was psychical. It was amazing. Kane and Sands destroyed parts of Korakuen Hall in an effort to put the other down - which Kane finally did following an SSK. Now a man undefeated in his recent EXODUS tenure looks to raise his position in the company as he'll take on three hungry competitors in two weeks.
7. Fiona Collins: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- Fiona Collins is the heart and soul of EXODUS. She made that and her mission to protect her home at all costs clear, in the build up to a rematch of Desperate Times as she took on Christum Furor. The hated rivals had a back and fourth mad with its share of controversy; Just when The Stardust Seraph had the match in hand she was distracted by Savannah Taylor, allowing the World Champion to pin her and retain his belt. EXODUS' seems shaken, hopefully Fiona remains in tact as she'll join Chris Strike in a tag match against The World and San Diego Bay Champions when we return to San Diego.
8. Zack Lifer: (Previous Ranking: 6)
- The New Iron Saint is the bad seed who ruins class for others. Justin Brooks is one of his victims now. Serving out his year long detention decreed by Cleon Gray, Lifer has gone on full vigilante mode, defeating The Big Bad Brooks one minute and recruiting the efforts of Dragons Unleashed the next. The former International Champion is amassing allies and devising a plan, one that may shakeup the company.
9. Kerry Windsor : (Previous Ranking: 1)
- Kerry takes a tumble this week after a disappointing night for the vet at Ascendancy. With family and friends in the stands, Windsor battled Lexy Chapel in a classic for the International Title. Kerry pushed the champion to places she'd never been, but in the end it wasn't enough to get the win. However, the EXODUS Nation recognized Windsor's near perfect performance and are already calling for a rematch - while Kerry himself prepares for a Four Corners Survival Match.
10. Chuck Matthews: (Previous Ranking: 7)
- The Smartest Man in Professional Wrestling was all smiles after Ascendancy. The veteran has already proven to be a upper echelon talent , and he proved that again in a good match against Kliff Ulysses. While he may have captivated the crowd with his skill, The Ultimate Entertainer couldn't overcome Chucks's cunning. The Hollywood Impact notched another win for Matthews who is incredibly hard to read, with no one ever truly knowing his next move. He'll hope to use his anonymity as an advantage over Abby Park - a woman with her own edge as they prepare for a showdown in two weeks.
