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. Bianca Belair [-5]

Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair continues to be on hold for the time being in-ring as she prepares for the Six-Woman Tag against Control at Clash at the Castle.

9. Asuka & Alexa Bliss [NR]

The odd pairing of two of the most successful Women's Tag Team Championships in history advanced to the semi-finals of the current tag tournament, as Asuka & Alexa Bliss beat Doudrop & Nikki ASH.

8. Zoey Stark [-4]

A bitterly disappointing week for Zoey Stark, as she not only lost her battle with Mandy Rose over the NXT Women's Championship at Heatwave, but an apparent injury cost her a chance to wrestle on SmackDown in the Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament.

7. Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams [NR]

Carmelo Hayes continues to reign supreme as NXT North American Champion, overcoming Giovanni Vinci at Heatwave thanks to some timely interference by Trick Williams.

6. AJ Styles [-3]

The recent momentum built up by AJ Styles was not enough to catapult him to the United States Championship on Raw, as he was cleanly defeated by Bobby Lashley.

5. Control [+3]

The trio of Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky have continued to pick up steam on WWE TV as of late, with Kai comfortably beating 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke on Raw.

4. Bron Breakker [NR]

Another successful defense of his NXT Championship in the books for Bron Breakker, as he soundly defeated JD McDonagh at Heatwave, before having a staredown with NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate.

3. Toxic Attraction [NR]

It was a great week for NXT's top trio, starting with Mandy Rose defending her NXT Women's Championship from Zoey Stark. Then, Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne were thrust into the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament, and took full advantage by beating Sonya Deville & Natalya to advance.

2. Liv Morgan [No Change]

Although still dealing with an arm injury, SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan got the better of Shotzi on Friday night. However, she did suffer a post-match beating from her upcoming challenger Shayna Baszler.

1. Bobby Lashley [No Change]

Another week, another successful United States Championship defense for Bobby Lashley. This time, it was a first time ever encounter with AJ Styles on Raw that earned Lashley his latest victory.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

The Miz & Ciampa - The odd-couple pair of Miz & Ciampa were victorious on Raw over the combination of Mustafa Ali & Cedric Alexander.

Theory - Mr Money in the Bank Theory made a triumphant return to Raw to beat Dolph Ziggler in the main event.

Cora Jade - Taking full advantage of her former best friend's kind nature, Cora Jade defeated Roxanne Perez at NXT Heatwave.

The D'Angelo Family - With his win in NXT Heatwave's Street Fight, Tony D'Angelo banished Santos Escobar from the brand for good.

The Brawling Brutes - By overcoming Sami Zayn, Madcap Moss, Ricochet and Happy Corbin in a Fatal Five-Way on SmackDown, Sheamus earned the right to challenge Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at Clash at the Castle.
