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. Omos [NR]
The giant Omos secured a spot in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match next week by capitalizing on an injured Riddle in their match on Raw.9. Drew McIntyre [NR]
Another big man who will enter the fray at Money in the Bank is Drew McIntyre, who was able to put aside his differences with Sheamus long enough to team with him and beat The Usos on SmackDown.8. The Usos [-5]
A double disappointment for The Usos this week, as Jey Uso fell to Angelo Dawkins on Raw, and then they lost a tag team battle with Drew McIntyre and Sheamus on SmackDown.7. Gunther & Ludwig Kaiser [NR]
In a rematch from two weeks prior, Gunther successfully defended his newly won Intercontinental Championship over the former champ Ricochet.6. Carmella [NR]
Taking advantage of the injury suffered by Rhea Ripley, Carmella swooped in and won a Fatal Five-Way over Becky Lynch, Asuka, Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan to become the next challenger for Bianca Belair's Raw Women's Championship.5. Bron Breakker [-3]
No in-ring action for Bron Breakker, but it appears his next opponent for the NXT Championship will be Cameron Grimes.4. Bobby Lashley [NR]
Bobby Lashley ran the gauntlet on Raw, defeating Chad Gable, Otis and Theory back-to-back-to-back to earn an opportunity at Theory's United States Championship.3. Roxanne Perez [-2]
Roxanne Perez informed Toxic Attraction that she and Cora Jade would be going after the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships, drawing the ire of Katana Chance & Kayden Carter in the process.2. Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams [+5]
Carmelo Hayes remains the North American Champion after he beat Tony D'Angelo in the main event of Tuesday's edition of NXT 2.0.1. Diamond Mine [+4]
Thanks to the in-fighting between Tony D'Angelo's crew and Legada del Fantasma, Diamond Mine's Roderick Strong & Damon Kemp earned a win over Cruz del Toro & Joaquin Wilde.HONORABLE MENTIONS
