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. Judgment Day [NR]
Judgment Day's Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley teamed up to victory over AJ Styles & Liv Morgan in Raw's Mixed Tag Match.9. Gunther & Ludwig Kaiser [NR]
Gunther remains undefeated since joining the SmackDown roster, and this week teamed with his manager Ludwig Kaiser to a win over Ricochet & Drew Gulak.8. Bobby Lashley [+2]
Following last week's convoluted Steel Cage victory over Omos, Bobby Lashley challenged Omos & MVP to a Handicap Match at Hell in a Cell, and beat his former manager one-on-one.7. Becky Lynch [NR]
Avenging last Monday's controversial loss to Asuka, Becky Lynch defeated the Empress of Tomorrow on Raw to earn her spot in a Triple Threat for the Raw Women's Championship at Hell in a Cell.6. Tiffany Stratton [NR]
Taking full advantage of Nikkita Lyons' unfortunate injury, Tiffany Stratton entered the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament and beat Fallon Henley in the semi-finals.5. Asuka [-2]
An unfortunate loss by Asuka to her arch-nemesis Becky Lynch means that her Raw Women's Championship shot against Bianca Belair at Hell in a Cell now has one more participant.4. Roxanne Perez [+3]
Roxanne Perez reached the final of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament to take on Tiffany Stratton following Tuesday's victory over Lash Legend.3. Toxic Attraction [+3]
