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. Katana Chance & Kayden Carter [NR or -5 or +#]
The newly crowned NXT Women's Tag Team Champions had a quiet show on Tuesday, predominantly showing up to say they would take on all challengers, specifically directed at Valentina Feroz & Yulisa Leon.9. Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah [NR or -# or +#]
Meanwhile on the main roster, the long-awaited WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament began, with the odd pairing of Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah advancing to the semi-finals on SmackDown with their victory over Shotzi & Xia Li.8. Control [NR or -# or +#]
The newfangled faction of Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky scored their first victory this week, as Kai & Sky teamed to defeat Dana Brooke & Tamina Snuka in another Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament bout.7. The Bloodline [NR or -3 or +#]

Ahead of challenging Mandy Rose for the NXT Women's Championship at Heatwave, Zoey Stark defeated Cora Jade in the main event of this week's NXT 2.0, and also laid out the champ for good measure.3. AJ Styles [NR or -# or +3]
