Squared Circle: WWE League: Weeks 17 & 18
What a huge week for the WWE not only is the draft edition of Raw held to start off this week but the end had the Extreme Rules PPV.
This is the first time since Edge's retirement that any stars have had the chance to make some major gain on his lead.
Raw may have been a good show but the Cena double-draft was a letdown and tainted what was mostly an enjoyable night. SmackDown on the other hand...
Lets crack on with Week 17.

For reasons beyond my control I could not get Week 17 out on time and since I only managed to complete the Table with mere days before the next installment expected, I have decided to double bank two weeks together into one article.
Without further wait, here is Week 18.

One week, Christian managed to gain the second spot and this week, he hits rock bottom. The loss of his championship was bad enough, but with the reign only lasting two days his penalty for losing the belt has heavier consequences.
Also, this week marks the first wins of the year for veterans William Regal and Chavo Guerrero.
