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. Kevin Owens [NR]
The revival of Kevin Owens as a featured character in WWE continued on Monday's Raw, where he defeated Jey Uso thanks to an unintentional assist from Sami Zayn.9. Toxic Attraction [-4]
Outside of an unprovoked attack on Ivy Nile & Tatum Paxley during their tag match on NXT 2.0, there was nothing major involving Toxic Attraction this week.8. Judgment Day [NR]
Judgment Day built momentum for that bout with Edge & Rey Mysterio at Clash at the Castle by scoring a tag team victory over AJ Styles & Dolph Ziggler on Raw.7. The Viking Raiders [NR]
Taking full advantage of their specialty 'Viking Rules' match, The Viking Raiders beat The New Day in an entertaining spectacle on Friday's SmackDown.6. AJ Styles [-2]
As noted earlier, AJ Styles alongside Dolph Ziggler was on the losing end of a tag team contest against Judgment Day on Raw.5. Gallus [NR]
Gallus' strong introduction to the NXT 2.0 audience continued on Tuesday's episode, as the trio defeated The Diamond Mine's Creed Brothers & Damon Kemp in a Six-Man Tag.4. Liv Morgan [-1]
SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan continued to demonstrate a defiant attitude in the face of her upcoming challenger Shayna Baszler, but is currently steering clear of any in-ring action.3. Damage Control [-1]
In a shock result, Damage Control's Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky did not capture the Women's Tag Team Championships on Raw, falling to defeat in the finals of the tournament.2. Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah [+4]
Instead it was the odd couple of Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah that captured their first gold since arriving on the main roster, with Aliyah taking advantage of some ringside turmoil to roll up Dakota Kai for the unexpected victory.1. Bobby Lashley [No Change]
Showing no signs of surrendering his place on the summit of the Power Rankings, United States Champion Bobby Lashley beat The Miz for his latest win on Monday Night Raw.HONORABLE MENTIONS
