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. Johnny Gargano [NR]

After lasting over 30 minutes in the Men's Royal Rumble, Johnny Gargano secured his spot in the United States Championship Elimination Chamber Match with a win over Baron Corbin.

9. Natalya [NR]

Making her return in the Women's Royal Rumble, Natalya followed this up on SmackDown with a Fatal Four-Way victory over Zelina Vega, Shayna Baszler and Shotzi to earn a place in the Women's Elimination Chamber Match.

8. Imperium [-5]

Despite Imperium falling short in the tournament to crown number one contenders for the Tag Team Championships, they remain on the Power Rankings thanks to Gunther's record-setting 70-minute run in the Men's Royal Rumble.

7. Damage Ctrl [No Change]

Although none of the three members of Damage Ctrl were able to win the Women's Royal Rumble, Iyo Sky did score a win over Candice LeRae on Raw.

6. Braun Strowman & Ricochet [+3]

With their victory over Imperium on SmackDown, Braun Strowman & Ricochet earned the next opportunity over the estranged Usos' SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

5. Bianca Belair [+5]

In a fairly straightforward clash at Royal Rumble, Bianca Belair cast aside Alexa Bliss once and for all to retain her Raw Women's Championship.

4. Charlotte Flair [+2]

Meanwhile on SmackDown, Charlotte Flair once again stomped out the challenge of Sonya Deville to retain her Women's Championship, setting her sights firmly on Rhea Ripley.

3. Cody Rhodes [NR]

Cody Rhodes returned to action as Number 30 in the Men's Royal Rumble, and took full advantage of this spot to win the match and earn his opportunity at WrestleMania 39. He followed this up with his first Raw win for many months over Finn Balor.

2. Judgment Day [+2]

The men of Judgment Day had a disappointing week, with no Royal Rumble winner and Finn Balor falling to Cody Rhodes on Raw. But, as is often the case, Rhea Ripley picked up the slack, going coast-to-coast in the Women's Royal Rumble

1. The Bloodline [No Change]

After Royal Rumble, The Bloodline still has the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but it may have lost 2 members. Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens, yet his post-match beatdown was prematurely ended by a Sami Zayn chairshot. Jey Uso walked away as the remaining members of The Bloodline decimated the former Honorary Uce.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Bray Wyatt - In his first televised match since his return to WWE, Bray Wyatt beat LA Knight in a crappy, spooky Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match at Royal Rumble.
