Smark Out Moment

Welcome to another edition of POWER RANKINGS from Smark Out Moment! Each week, we will break down the current roster and examine who has gone up the WWE hierarchy and who has taken a step down the ladder. Factoring in things such as wins and losses, suspensions, injuries, making a name for one's self, being humiliated, and more, we rank who is at the top of the food chain and who needs to make up some ground next week.

Here is the key code for the rankings shorthand when referencing their position in relation to the previous week:




Last week Roman Reigns occupied this position, but now he'll share the spot with the rest of his Shield brethren. They hold the Universal and Intercontinental Championships, so they must be included in the top 10. However, for the second week in a row they were laid out by the trio of Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler. Raw closed with The Shield laid out cold outside the ring surrounded by most of the heels in the Raw locker room. Not a good showing for the Hounds of Justice.


Samoa Joe is trading places this week with AJ Styles. Joe finally got what was coming to him with all the taunting, and Styles made him look like a fool. Joe didn't look good following a direct encounter, and he's dropping in this week's rankings because of it.


Daniel Bryan takes Miz's place this week following his second consecutive victory over Andrade "Cien" Almas. Not only that, but Bryan and Brie Bella got their revenge on The Miz and Maryse for last week's ambush, and took out Zelina Vega and Almas out in the process.


While Ricochet is off trying to figure out his beef with Pete Dunne, Velveteen Dream swooped in and grabbed the momentum and a spot on the Power Rankings. Dream put on a show-stealing, damn good match with Johnny Gargano on the latest episode of NXT. Dream took advantage of Gargano's inability to stay focused and beat Johnny Wrestling clean in a barnburner of a match. This is a huge win for Dream as he continues to grow in NXT.


When the Deadman is back on television, he nabs a spot on the rankings automatically. He becomes the instant focal point of the show and the biggest pop from the crowd. He put on a hell of a promo with Shawn Michaels in a build up to a match with Triple H at Super Show Down in Australia. Undertaker got into Michaels' head about retirement, opening the door to massive rumors about one more match. Not only did Undertaker return, he added fuel to a fire that's been burning since WrestleMania 26.


While Braun Strowman already claimed this spot last week, his two new buddies are joining him as the trio left their biggest mark this week on Raw. Not only did they decimate the shield, McIntyre and Ziggler claimed the Raw Tag Team titles. Now they're not only a trio of legit threats and beasts, they are now champions.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Rusev Day picked up a win in an entertaining triple threat match with Usos and Sanity to move on in contention for the #1 contender to the tag titles.

Kairi Sane fended off an attack from Shayna Baszler and looked really strong in doing so.

Tommaso Ciampa calls out the NXT roster, saying there's no one to challenge him.

The Bella Twins are back and kicking ass in their first matches.

Authors of Pain have a new manager in 205 Live's Drake Maverick in what looks like a promising partnership.
