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. Wendy Choo [NR]
Bringing an end to their months-long rivalry, Wendy Choo overcame Tiffany Stratton in a Lights Out Match in the main event of NXT 2.0.9. Drew McIntyre [NR]
SmackDown's main event saw Drew McIntyre continue to build momentum for Clash at the Castle with a victory over honorary Bloodline member Sami Zayn, only to suffer a post-match beatdown from the actual Bloodline.8. Edge [NR]
In front of his hometown crowd in Toronto, Edge defeated Damian Priest one-one-one, and survived a post-match beatdown from the Judgment Day thanks to the arrival of Beth Phoenix.7. Bron Breakker [-3]
NXT Champion Bron Breakker accepted NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate's challenge for a Title Unification Match at Worlds Collide on this past Tuesday's show.6. Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah [NR]
Despite Aliyah being pretty much a non-entity for the entirety of the Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament semi-final, Raquel Rodriguez single-handedly beat Natalya & Sonya Deville to score the victory.5. Toxic Attraction [-2]
With Gigi Dolin seemingly on the shelf for a little while, next on the horizon for Toxic Attraction and NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose is a Triple Threat Match at Worlds Collide against Meiko Satomura and Blair Davenport.4. AJ Styles [+2]
After failing to capture the United States Championship last week, AJ Styles teamed with Bobby Lashley to victory over The Miz & Ciampa on Raw.3. Liv Morgan [-1]
No sign of SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan this week, as instead a video package aired to progress her title feud with Shayna Baszler.2. Control [+3]
A great episode of Raw for this undefeated triumvirate, as Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky advanced in the Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament over Asuka & Alexa Bliss, while Bayley beat hometown girl Aliyah.1. Bobby Lashley [No Change]
