July Pound-for-Pound WWE Rankings: Liv Morgan makes her move image

With just three weeks remaining before one of the Big 4 PLEs, SummerSlam 2024 in Cleveland, OH, things are about to turn up in the WWE. Unlike after June's Clash at the Castle, this past week's shows were a little bit of a drop off when it came to matchmaking, but the storylines are moving along with great pace. That has allowed a couple wrestlers to shoot up the pound-for-pound rankings, where we don't care how big or small or what gender the wrestler is.

"Are you not entertained??" is the paramount question here. 

Five different wrestlers moved into our top 10 this month, partially because of their fantastic storylines but also as we've added two additional analysts into the ranking system. Who's where? Check it out below.
