1. Lexy Chapel: (Previous Ranking: 2)
- There have been many International Champions in EXODUS Pro's brief history - Fiona Collins, Steve Lenton, Jimmy Riley are a few holders on a decorated alumni list. However, none of them have been able to accomplish what Lexy Chapel has done in her reign. The days of the curse are long behind us, as the fastest rising superstar in EXODUS history proved once again that she is one of the best wrestlers not only in the company, but in the world, as she defeated former World Champion Johnny Cannon to retain her prestigious championship in what many are already calling a Match of the Year candidate. With the victory, Lexy Chapel successfully retains the International Title for the third time, continuing her historic reign whilst she builds on her legend.
2. Kerry Windsor: (Previous Ranking: 9)
- Friends are the people who stick by you through thick and thin, and always have your back no matter what. Jonathan Collins has a friend in the Livewire, Kerry Windsor, and the veteran proved his loyalty and mettle this past Monday when he took on the EXODUS World Champion, Christum Furor. Though the match ended in disqualification, Kerry Windsor can be satisfied knowing that he gave the leader of Gods & Monsters all that he could handle. At one point he received a Hammer of Dawn on the outside, yet that didn't stop him. No, Kerry was hell bent on proving a point Monday - and that point is that if Gods & Monsters thinks the EXODUS Sekigun is going to lie down and die, they've got another thing coming.
3. Sally Talfourd: (Previous Ranking: 3)
- The Last Magician had the lone victory for her faction this past Monday. Sidelined by injuries that caused her to miss the past show due to an attack by Chris Strike (the artist previously known as WEAPON) at Ascendancy, Sally had ample time to recover from her ailments and prepare for her adversary - a very hot Christian Kane. The two EXODUS stars wrestled a back and forth match, and though the bout ended with Talfourd gaining the victory by questionable means - history will still show her to be the victor. However, that was the only win she would receive on the night, as her attempt to sway Jonathan Collins to turn on his wife Fiona Collins blew up in her face - literally. The Collins' had the last laugh on Monday, especially the Saint of Violence who will take on The Last Magician in two weeks in a first time match up that is sure to be emotional, heated, and more importantly, a classic.
4. Chris Strike: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- Unmasked and untamed, Chris Strike returned to form this past Monday, as he took on the "Smartest Man in Professional Wrestling" Chuck Matthews. The God of Thunder, and War Machine proved very capable of matching Chuck's wits, so much that when the dust settled and the mind games ceased, it was Strike who emerged victorious, sending a clear message to Christum Furor - you're next. However, he'll have to wait to deliver that message personally, as he has more things to worry about, namely the wrench the World Champion has thrown in his path in the form of estranged lover, Lady Magdalena. As Chris continues on his warpath to face Christum Furor, we will have to wait and see if he can overcome this huge distraction - or get buried by it.
5. Chandler Scott: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- The Harvard Hammer has landed in EXODUS! Well, more like he's returned, and hopefully he'll stay a while. The member of Dangerous Minds, and the Godfather's of Wrestling made an immediate splash this past Monday, when he took on Sam Raine and San Diego Bay Champion, Savannah Taylor in a hot Triple Threat Match. The competitive match had it's fair share of how should I put it, provocativeness, highlighted by the way Chandler picked up the victory over his crush, Savannah Taylor. It's clear that Scott has a thing for the San Diego Bay Champion, however, before he can continue his courtship of the Las Vegas Siren he'll be joining the Stardust Seraph in Tag Team Action as they take on the EXODUS World Tag Team Champions, The Generation of Miracles in a non-title showdown.
6. Justin Brooks: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- The Big Bad Brooks seems to be more unhinged than ever. After having been held in line by Cleon Gray, this past Monday saw Justin remove his leash, which at that point he proceeded to unleash himself on Zack Lifer and Evangelista. Teaming with The Perfect Evil, Daisuke Iwakuma, Justin exploited his new found aggression, rage, and ferocity to pin his nemesis, The New Iron Saint in the middle of the ring sending a message that was received loud and clear - his business with the Arch Angel is far from over. The two seem to be heading for a showdown at Longway Down, with Lifer challenging Brooks to a match he's become famous for - the Barbed Wire Massacre.
7. Steve Lenton: (Previous Ranking: N/A)
- The Big L is getting closer to becoming the man who stormed his way into the World Title picture back at Battle Without Honor or Humanity. That may be a direct result of his newfound resolve, and recaptured confidence. The Suntan Superman started the show sending a declaration of intent, and war to Gods & Monsters, and then he proceeded to prove that he was all business in the Triple Threat Roulette match against Abby Park and Mason Joseph, picking up the victory over the latter. The EXODUS Sekigun is happy to have one of their biggest stars refocused, and his return to form couldn't have come at a better time for they will need his heart and efforts as this war with Gods & Monsters rages on.
8. Fiona Collins: (Previous Ranking: 7)
- The Stardust Seraph has had a rocky month. Gods & Monsters had been getting the best of her since Ascendancy, and this past Monday seemed to be another day at the office for the faction when it came to Fiona. Early in the telecast, Christum Furor attempted to open the wedge between Fiona and Jonathan, trying to manipulate her into turning her back on her husband and the company in what he described as her final chance to "save EXODUS". However, his mind games were of no use, as the Stardust Seraph proved once again that she will never give up, nor will she stop defending the company she loves by taking the fight to Sally Talfourd and the World Champion. With Fiona and Jonathan's relationship back on track, EXODUS has hope again - and that hope has been reaffirmed by the company's greatest hero.
9. Savannah Taylor : (Previous Ranking: 5)
- We're not sure yet whether Monday is a day to forget, or to remember for the San Diego Bay Champion. This longest reigning and most dominant champion in the belt history had her hands full with Sam Raine and Chandler Scott - and when she didn't she was being knocked silly by the Harvard Hammer who scored the pinfall over the champion to immediately put himself into contention for the prestigious title. For a woman that longs for respect and acknowledgement, Savannah has the opportunity to seize the recognition she desires as she takes on one of her opponent's from EXPRO 21 - Sam Raine in a title match that is sure to be one to remember.
10. Christum Furor: (Previous Ranking: 1)
- The EXODUS World Champion is exasperated, incensed, angry, and chomping at the bit. His current temperament is the result of nightmarish Monday, where we saw him take on the Livewire, Kerry Windsor. After throwing everything he had at the veteran, the leader of Gods & Monsters was unable to gain the victory - and ended up getting himself disqualified due to his frustrations. Consumed by rage, Furor proceeded to take those very frustrations out on Kerry with a post-match assault. However, he would not get the last laugh on the night. The lasting shot of EXPRO 21 saw the World Champion laid out, thanks to a weed wacker wielded by one man - Darrin Stearns. The Phoenix rose in Las Vegas, taking out the leader of Gods & Monsters as revenge for being put on the shelf earlier in the month, giving the EXODUS Sekigun a reason to hope. In two weeks, Darrin will try to give them one more, as he takes on the World Champion in his first match in over twelve years in a San Diego Bay Deathmatch.
