This Week's Hottest and Coldest Wrestlers in WWE
With SummerSlam merely weeks away, WWE finds itself running at a torrid pace. Although RAW's [...]
Coldest Wrestler of the Week
Enzo Amore
Some choices are easier than others, and picking out who had the worst week in WWE was all too simple.
Enzo Amore had a punishing 7 days. On RAW, Enzo got a real taste of fan apathy as the Pittsburgh crowd seemed genuinely uninterested in his schtick. Typically, Enzo can fire up the live audience, but this week it felt like his time of being relevant was officially put on notice. He can cut a great promo, but if he only jabbers to be flattened by Big Cass, then there's just no reason to get behind him.
Even worse, Enzo was buried by JBL and Corey Graves as they spoke frankly on the WWE Network show, Bring it to the Table. Enzo's backstage heat is no longer a locker room secret as it's become public knowledge that Amore is disliked by his peers.
And if that wasn't enough, we reported that Amore is facing a potential demotion. While "demotion" could mean 205 Live, it could also spell a return to NXT for Amore. Yikes.
Sorry Enzo, you've been buried under a social and professional iceberg. Best of luck.

Shinsuke Nakamura
When you become the 14th man to pin John Cena cleanly in a decade, you're automatically in consideration for Hottest Wrestler of the Week. But when you do it to punch your ticket for a WWE Championship Match at SummerSlam, that makes you a stone cold lock.
Shinsuke Nakamura has arrived, ladies and gentleman.
Being John Cena's opponent serves as one of WWE's best litmus tests for a talent. If they can hang with Cena and make the match feel special, then perhaps that's a wrestler WWE can build upon.
While it's still very early in Nakamura's WWE run, the company seems comfortable with the idea of pushing him to the top. After some tone-deaf booking of the King of Strong Style this spring, summer has proven to be much more fruitful for he and WWE.
Watch out WWE Universe, a star could be in the making.
