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:




Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner fell short of reaching the final of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic as they lost to The Broserweights on NXT, following this up with a big brawl with Undisputed Era to round off the show.


After weeks of being beaten one-on-one by Aleister Black, Buddy Murphy found a friend in Seth Rollins, and in their first match as a team, they defeated The Viking Raiders to become the new Raw Tag Team Champions.


The Monday Night Messiah has added to his faction, and has also added gold to his waist. Seth Rollins teamed with his new disciple Buddy Murphy to capture the Raw Tag Team Championships from The Viking Raiders on Raw.


Now both members of The New Day have tasted defeat at the hands of John Morrison after the recently-returned superstar defeated Kofi Kingston on SmackDown, with his pal The Miz supporting from ringside.


NXT's main event saw the crowning of a new North American Champion, as Keith Lee defeated Roderick Strong in an excellent match to get his first taste of gold since joining the Black & Gold Brand.


The Viking Raiders probably wish they'd stayed out of the fight with Seth Rollins' new faction, as on Raw they lost their Raw Tag Team Championships to the Monday Night Messiah and his disciple Buddy Murphy.


Bobby Lashley continues to dominate his feud with Rusev on Raw. This week, Lashley teamed with his new wife Lana to win a Mixed-Tag Match against The Bulgarian Brute and Liv Morgan.


It was a rough week for The Undisputed Era. Not only did Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish fail to progress to the Dusty Rhodes Classic Finals thanks to Grizzled Young Veterans, but Roderick Strong lost his North American Championship to Keith Lee in Wednesday's main event.


The NXT Women's Champion was involved in a big brawl on NXT involving Bianca Belair, Io Shirai and Toni Storm, which left her fellow Aussie in the ring raising Rhea Ripley's title before their clash at Worlds Collide.


In an absolutely crazy Ladder Match on Raw, Andrade successfully defended his United States Championship over Rey Mysterio, sending the legendary luchadore through a ladder with a DDT for good measure.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

The Usos - Teaming with their cousin Roman Reigns, The Usos were victorious in SmackDown's Six-Man Tag over Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode.

Becky Lynch - The Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch built momentum for her Royal Rumble match with Asuka by defeating Kairi Sane on Monday night.
