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. The Brawling Brutes [NR]
Hurtling towards WarGames, Butch of The Brawling Brutes beat The Bloodline's Sami Zayn on SmackDown to advance in the World Cup Tournament.9. Imperium [-5]
After trashing The New Day on SmackDown, Imperium were left with egg on their face after losing a Six-Man Tag against them and Braun Strowman.8. Judgent Day [-2]
Although Dominik Mysterio was able to score a victory over Shelton Benjamin on Raw, Judgment Day's leader Finn Balor could not capture the United States Championship from Seth Rollins.7. Braun Strowman [+1]
Braun Strowman helped The New Day to a Six-Man Tag win over Imperium on SmackDown, and gave a prelude to a potential match with Gunther over the Intercontinental Championship.6. Bianca Belair [-3]
No in-ring action for Bianca Belair this week, but she did convince Mia Yim to join her crew in the lead-up to Survivor Series WarGames.5. Bron Breakker [NR]
In the opening of NXT, Bron Breakker successfully defended his NXT Championship against his biggest challenger to date Von Wagner.4. Toxic Attraction [NR]
Meanwhile on Tuesday's main event, Mandy Rose, despite no other members of Toxic Attraction flanking her, was the Last Woman Standing against Alba Fyre, retaining her NXT Women's Championship thanks to an assist from Isla Dawn.3. Damage Ctrl [+2]
As well as Iyo Sky getting the win over former 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke on Raw, Damage Ctrl also completed their WarGames team, recruiting Rhea Ripley to counteract the babyfaces' addition of Mia Yim.2. The Bloodline [-1]
Not a great week for The Bloodline, as Honorary Uce Sami Zayn failed to beat Butch in the World Cup tournament, while they discovered that Kevin Owens will be opposing them at Survivor Series WarGames.1. Seth Rollins [+1]
Seth Rollins is top of the Power Rankings and still United States Champion heading out of this week, defeating Finn Balor in the main event of Raw.HONORABLE MENTIONS
