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:

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. Carmella [NR]

In a baffling piece of booking you'll only find in SmackDown's women's division, Carmella got her win back over Liv Morgan in less than 2 minutes, advancing in the Queen's Crown tournament.

9. Sami Zayn [NR]

Over on the King of the Ring side of things, Sami Zayn advanced into the semi-finals by defeating Rey Mysterio, due in part to his manipulation of Dominik in recent weeks.

8. Finn Balor [NR]

The most impressive tournament match this week saw Finn Balor overcome Cesaro in the King of the Ring quarter-finals.

7. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rick Boogs [-2]

Due to the new King of the Ring tournament, Shinsuke Nakamura relinquished his crown before SmackDown this week, leaving him now with just the Intercontinental Championship and Rick Boogs for company.

6. Rhea Ripley & Nikki ASH [NR]

With their victory over Natalya & Tamina on Raw, Rhea Ripley & Nikki ASH are now the undisputed Women's Tag Team Champions, as all other women's tag teams were disbanded in the WWE Draft.

5. MSK [NR]

MSK outlasted Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen, Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams, and Grizzled Young Veterans to retain their NXT Tag Team Championships, before suffering a post-match beatdown by Imperium.

4. Charlotte Flair [-1]

The main event of Raw was a hot-shotted battle between Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair, which Flair lost by disqualification following interference by Becky Lynch.

3. Roman Reigns [-1]

Another paint-by-numbers Roman Reigns promo on SmackDown, helping to build towards his match with Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel. Fun fact - Reigns' entrance on Friday's show was longer than both women's matches on the same show combined.

2. Big E [+2]

Big E teamed up with his upcoming WWE Championship challenger Drew McIntyre on Raw to defeat The Dirty Dawgs.

1. Damian Priest [+1]

Proving to be the very definition of a fighting champion, Damian Priest once again successfully defended his United States Championship on Raw, this time against Jeff Hardy.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Shayna Baszler - Shayna Baszler's winning streak on Raw continued with a victory over Dana Brooke.

Drew McIntyre - Prior to his battle with Big E coming up at Crown Jewel, Drew McIntyre teamed with the WWE Champion to defeat The Dirty Dawgs.
