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. Andrade & Angel Garza [NR]
Andrade & Angel Garza will have the chance to avenge their recent loss to The Street Profits, this time with the Raw Tag Team Championships on the line, after winning a Triple Threat against The Viking Raiders and Ricochet & Cedric Alexander.
9. Dexter Lumis [NR]
NXT's resident artist/psychopath Dexter Lumis earned his place in the upcoming North American Championship Ladder Match by defeating Finn Balor and Timothy Thatcher.
8. Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura [-2]
The SmackDown Tag Team Champions took a week off to celebrate their recent title win, with a clash with Lucha House Party seemingly on the horizon.
7. AJ Styles [NR]
Speaking of Lucha House Party, AJ Styles recorded another successful Intercontinental Championship defense over one of their crew, Gran Metallik, on this week's SmackDown.
6. The Greater Good [+2]
While both Seth Rollins & Buddy Murphy were chased away by Dominic Mysterio and a kendo stick, Murphy saw some success later on Raw by defeating Humberto Carrillo.
5. Keith Lee [-1]
The NXT Champion lay down the gauntlet to Karrion Kross on NXT this week, setting the stage for the next TakeOver's main event. And while he wasn't in an official match, Keith Lee did get to beat up Cameron Grimes for a little while.
4. Hurt Business [+1]
Although there is no clear conclusion in sight to the United States Championship feud between MVP and Apollo Crews, Hurt Business maintained positive momentum with Bobby Lashley scoring a win over Mustafa Ali on Raw.
3. The Kabuki Warriors [-1]
It was the end of the road for Kairi Sane on Raw this week. The devastating assault she received from Bayley on Raw not only spelled the end of her WWE tenure, but also led to Asuka losing her Raw Women's Championship to Sasha Banks via count out.
2. Drew McIntyre [+1]
In another Extreme Rules match on Raw, Drew McInytre once again got the better of his former tag team partner Dolph Ziggler. With Randy Orton on the horizon, SummerSlam looks like it will be the biggest challenge of the WWE Champion's reign so far.
1. The Golden Role Models [No Change]
The Golden Role Models now legitimately hold all the gold in WWE Women's Division. On Raw, Asuka's concern for the safety of Kairi Sane allowed Sasha Banks to capture her fifth Raw Women's Championship on Monday via count out. Then, on Friday, Bayley beat Nikki Cross once more to retain her SmackDown Women's Championship.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Johnny Gargano - In a follow-up to last week's Triple Threat, Johnny Gargano defeated Roderick Strong in a straight one-on-one match.
Mercedes Martinez - The newest recruit of the Robert Stone Brand, Mercedes Martinez secured a victory over Shotzi Blackheart on NXT.
Isaiah Scott - Isaiah Scott set himself on course for a future clash with Santos Escobar by beating Jake Atlas on NXT.
The New Day - With Big E now carrying the load for The New Day going forward, he got off to a good start with a win over The Miz on SmackDown.
King Corbin - It was both a winning week for King Corbin over Drew Gulak and he also seemingly gained a tag partner in the form of Shorty G.
