Here is the key code for the rankings shorthand when referencing their position in relation to the previous week:
NR = Not included in last week's rankings at all
+ Green = the number of moves up in the rankings compared to last week
- Red = the number of moves down in the rankings compared to last week
Honorable Mentions = five superstars who just barely missed the cut
10. Goldberg [-4]
As to be expected after capturing the Universal Championship at Super ShowDown, Goldberg's appearances will be sporadic leading up to his WrestleMania match with Roman Reigns.
9. Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode [NR]
With their victory in SmackDown's Tag Team Gauntlet, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode will enter the Elimination Chamber match last on Sunday's PPV.
8. Riddick Moss [NR]
The 24/7 Champion maintained his grasp on the title on Monday, as Riddick Moss successfully defended in a match against the last challenger to the WWE Championship, Ricochet.
7. Charlotte Flair [-2]
Charlotte Flair wasn't featured on Raw this week as the countdown to her NXT Women's Championship match with Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania continues.
6. Ricochet [-2]
From being number one contender to the WWE Championship, to jobbing out to 24/7 Champion Riddick Moss on Raw, this past week has seen a massive tumble down the card for Ricochet.
5. The Street Profits [NR]
Thanks in no small part to some outside assistance by Kevin Owens, The Street Profits made it second-time lucky against Seth Rollins & Murphy, defeating them for the Raw Tag Team Championships.
4. The Undisputed Era [+3]
It was 2 for 2 on Wednesday night for The Undisputed Era. Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish defeated Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch in a tag team war, before Roderick Strong beat The Velveteen Dream in a Steel Cage match.
3. Rhea Ripley [-1]
Like her rival Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley didn't appear on NXT this week outside of a video package hyping their upcoming match at WrestleMania.
2. Seth Rollins & Murphy [-1]
The Raw Tag Team Champions are no longer in the possession of The Monday Night Messiah, as Seth Rollins & Murphy fell to The Street Profits on Raw.
1. Drew McIntyre [+2]
While he wasn't featured in a match, Drew McIntyre made a major impact on Raw. Following a staredown with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, McIntyre left him laying 3 times with devastating Claymore Kicks.

The Boss & Hug Connection - Bayley & Sasha Banks rectified last week's defeat to Naomi and Lacey Evans by defeating them in a tag team rematch on SmackDown.
Dakota Kai - Thanks to a big assist by Racquel Gonzalez and the cage door, Dakota Kai won her Steel Cage match with Tegan Nox on NXT.
