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:
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. Seth Rollins [NR]
After falling to Edge at Crown Jewel inside Hell in a Cell, Seth Rollins brushed off that loss like it never happened, won a Four-Way Ladder Match on Raw and is now the number one contender to Big E's WWE Championship.9. Finn Balor [-5]
Alongside Kevin Owens and Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor was one of the participants in Raw's main event Ladder Match that came up short against Seth Rollins.8. Imperium [NR]
In one of several title changes that took place at Halloween Havoc, Imperium defeated MSK in a Lumber-Jack O'Lantern Match to become the NXT Tag Team Champions for the second time.7. The Usos [-4]
The SmackDown Tag Team Champions were fortunate their titles were not up for grabs this week, as on SmackDown The Usos suffered a loss to their erstwhile rivals The New Day.6. Tommaso Ciampa [NR]
In a battle between a grizzled veteran and promising upstart, Tommaso Ciampa retained his NXT Championship against Bron Breakker in the main event of Halloween Havoc.5. Roman Reigns [-4]
Roman Reigns was completely absent from Friday's edition of SmackDown, leaving just The Usos and Paul Heyman to represent the Bloodline on this show.4. Toxic Attraction [NR]
In one night, NXT's newest women's stable captured all the gold. First Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne captured the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships in a Stairway to Hell Ladder Match. Then, thanks to an assist from Dakota Kai, Mandy Rose beat Raquel Gonzalez in a Trick or Street Fight to win the NXT Women's Championship.3. The New Day [+4]
With King Xavier Woods still reveling in his new title, he and Kofi Kingston teamed up to defeat SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in the main event of Friday's show.2. Zelina Vega [+4]
Over on Raw the Queen's Crown winner Zelina Vega is also riding a wave of momentum, as she once again defeated Doudrop in a rematch on Raw, using her trusty scepter to knock her out.1. Big E [+1]
While not in action on Raw, Big E benefits from actually showing up on the show and standing up against an array of challengers, with Seth Rollins the next one in his crosshairs.HONORABLE MENTIONS
