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
10. Sami Zayn [NR]
After months of stagnation around the waist of Shinsuke Nakamura, the Intercontinental Championship will be defended soon as Sami Zayn won a 12-Man Gauntlet Match on SmackDown, last eliminating Ricochet.9. Bron Breakker [-3]
No in-ring action for Bron Breakker on the latest edition of NXT 2.0, just a promo exchange with NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa in the build-up to their title match at New Year's Evil.8. Raquel Gonzalez [NR]
Raquel Gonzalez seemingly drew a line under her blood feud with former ally Dakota Kai on Tuesday's NXT 2.0, defeating her in a Street Fight.7. Seth Rollins [-2]
Seth Rollins was too late to make the save for Kevin Owens in their Raw tag match against Big E and Bobby Lashley, but they were successful in a post-match beatdown.6. Charlotte Flair [NR]
In a result everyone could see coming, Charlotte Flair retained her SmackDown Women's Championship against Toni Storm on Friday's episode.5. Big E [+2]
With his WWE Championship at stake at Day 1 against three formidable challengers, Big E was able to coexist with Bobby Lashley to win a tag match against Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens on Raw.4. Zelina Vega & Carmella [-3]
After last week's upset win, Zelina Vega fell to a dominantly predictable loss to Rhea Ripley in a singles match on Raw.3. The Hurt Business [+1]
Now leaning heavily into his babyface tendencies, Bobby Lashley teamed with WWE Champion Big E to win the Raw main event over Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens.2. Bianca Belair [+1]
For the third week in a row, Bianca Belair defeated Doudrop on Raw, this time hulking her up for the KOD as a final exclamation point on their one-sided feud.1. The New Day [+1]
The New Day's winning streak continued on SmackDown, as they teamed with Drew McIntyre in victory over Madcap Moss and The Usos.HONORABLE MENTIONS
