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

10. Charlotte Flair [-7]

SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and her partner at Elimination Chamber Sonya Deville came off second-best in a contract signing with Ronda Rousey and Naomi on Friday's show.

9. Bianca Belair [NR]

Speaking of Elimination Chamber, Bianca Belair will enter the Women's Chamber Match last after she won a Gauntlet Match on Raw, last eliminating Rhea Ripley.

8. Carmelo Hayes [NR]

Carmelo Hayes remains the NXT North American Champion coming out of Vengeance Day, after interference from Trick Williams helped him overcome the challenge of Cameron Grimes.

7. Damian Priest [NR]

In a week packed with midcard championship action, Damian Priest shook off last week's loss to AJ Styles to defend his United States Championship against the Phenomenal One on Monday's Raw.

6. Sami Zayn [NR]

However, there was a new Intercontinental Champion crowned this week, as Sami Zayn captured the title for the third time by defeating Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown.

5. Bron Breakker [NR]

Bron Breakker withstood the first challenge to his reign as NXT Champion at Vengeance Day, beating Santos Escobar in the show's main event despite a run-in by Dolph Ziggler.

4. Diamond Mine [+4]

The Creed Brothers won the 2022 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic at Vengeance Day, overcoming last year's victors MSK to earn a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships.

3. AJ Styles [-2]

AJ Styles fell short at his bid to capture the United States Championship from Damian Priest on Raw, meaning he heads into Saturday's Elimination Chamber Match with a lack of momentum.

2. Toxic Attraction [+4]

With Mandy Rose retaining her NXT Women's Championship last week, Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne followed suit at Vengeance Day, retaining the Women's Tag Team Championships over Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta.

1. The Hurt Business [+1]

While Brock Lesnar got to beat down Austin Theory on Raw, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley did get the most prominent spot in the 'promo merry-go-round' prior to Elimination Chamber on Saturday.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Rhea Ripley - Despite coming up short in Raw's Gauntlet Match, Rhea Ripley did get consecutive wins over Nikki ASH, Liv Morgan and Doudrop.

Alpha Academy - The Raw Tag Team Champions continue to be booked strong, with Alpha Academy beating The Mysterios on Raw.

Seth Rollins - Another victory for Seth Rollins in Raw's main event, beating Randy Orton thanks to some Alpha Academy distraction.
