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 unfortunately 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, 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:




Out of the blue, we have a completely new tag team on Raw to challenge the completely new Raw Tag Team Champions. Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode on their first night as a pairing overcame four established teams on Monday to earn an opportunity at tag team gold at Clash of Champions.


In the most impressive and most shocking of the King of the Ring victories this week, Ricochet defeated many's pre-tournament favorite in Drew McIntyre. Will the King Ricochet moniker be even more fitting by Clash of Champions?


Another week, another meaningful victory for Humberto Carrillo. His win over Oney Lorcan in Tuesday's main event earned him an opportunity to battle Drew Gulak for the Cruiserweight Championship at Clash of Champions.


With Alexa Bliss away for the week, alone Nikki Cross was unable to overcome SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley on Raw, losing convincingly in this champion vs champion contest.


While they couldn't get the job done at TakeOver: Toronto, Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish finally brought the NXT Tag Team Championships back into the fold for The Undisputed Era, defeating The Street Profits in this week's main event. It's two titles down and one to go for NXT's formidable foursome.


Randy Orton and The Revival continue to be thorns in The New Day's side. Orton took out Kofi Kingston backstage with a DDT off a table to progress their WWE Championship feud, before Big E fell to an RKO in a match with Orton, thanks to The Revival's interference.


Braun Strowman was interested in adding more belts to go alongside his newly won Raw Tag Team Championship this week. First, he challenged his partner Seth Rollins to put his Universal Championship on the line at Clash of Champions, before his United States title match with AJ Styles ended in a DQ, leading Strowman to take out The O.C. single-handed.


Fresh off his announced engagement to Becky Lynch, Universal Champion beau Seth Rollins joined her on vacation this week, while his partner/challenger Braun Strowman was left on his lonesome to fend off The O.C.


Joining her new fiancee for some well-deserved relaxation time, Becky Lynch was also away from the ring this week. Unfortunately, this absence sees her drop down the Power Rankings as others take the opportunity to impress.


With Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch taking a week away, Bayley stepped up and shoots to the top of the Power Rankings off the back of two impressive victories. The SmackDown Women's Champion defeated Nikki Cross on Monday, and followed that up with a win over Lacey Evans on Tuesday.

Ali - The first round of the King of the Ring tournament wrapped up this week, with Ali scoring an impressive win over Buddy Murphy on SmackDown.
