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. Carmella [-4]
Carmella cut an impassioned promo and blindsided Bianca Belair to desperately convince people that she could win the Raw Women's Championship at Money in the Bank. Personally speaking, it didn't work.9. Bron Breakker [-4]
In a face-to-face confrontation that escalated into violence, Bron Breakker was left with an injury to his shoulder ahead of his NXT Championship defense against Cameron Grimes.8. Madcap Moss [NR]
With just one slot remaining in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, Madcap Moss overcame Happy Corbin, The Miz and Ezekiel to claim that coveted spot.7. Becky Lynch [NR]
In one of two Last Chance Money in the Bank qualifiers that took place on Raw, Becky Lynch overcame Doudrop, Shayna Baszler, Nikki ASH, Tamina and Xia Li to secure her place in the ladder match.6. Riddle [NR]
Riddle also took his final opportunity to enter the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, winning a Battle Royal that opened Monday's Raw.5. Liv Morgan [NR]
Building momentum heading into Money in the Bank, Liv Morgan defeated Alexa Bliss on Raw, then teamed with Bliss and Asuka on SmackDown to victory over Raquel Rodriguez, Lacey Evans and Shotzi.4. Diamond Mine [-3]
Miscommunication among the warring members of Diamond Mine resulted in Roderick Strong & The Creed Brothers losing to Joe Gacy & The Dyad on NXT 2.0.3. Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams [-1]
Thanks to some sneaky work by Grayson Waller, Carmelo Hayes will have to defend his North American Championship against the Aussie at the Great American Bash.2. Bobby Lashley [+2]
Ahead of his shot at Theory's United States Championship, Bobby Lashley beat Alpha Academy in a Handicap Match on Raw.1. Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade [+2]
By defeating Katana Chance & Kayden Carter on NXT 2.0, Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade earned the next opportunity to challenge for Toxic Attraction's NXT Tag Team Championships.HONORABLE MENTIONS
