WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #376 - The Annual December Doldrums | 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 oneself, 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

17 years after Trish Stratus and Lita main evented Raw for the Women's Championship, Becky Lynch cheated to retain her Raw Women's Championship over Liv Morgan on Monday's show.

To make up for his DQ loss last week, Big E escaped a Steel Cage to defeat Kevin Owens in Raw's opening contest, before being attacked post-match by Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley.

Seth Rollins sat back and watched Big E and Kevin Owens destroy each other inside a Steel Cage, before launching an attack on eventual winner Big E after the bout. But, Rollins himself was later laid out by Bobby Lashley.
