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. Sami Zayn [NR]
Despite picking up a win in the Raw main event over Jimmy Uso, Sami Zayn had his heart broken by both Kevin Owens' refusal to collaborate, and when Jey Uso superkicked him at the close of the show.9. Wes Lee [-3]
After a series of successful defenses, Wes Lee will once again put the North American Championship on the line next week on NXT, presumably against Axiom.8. Drew McIntyre & Sheamus [NR]
Oddly, Drew McIntyre & Sheamus are not on this week's list as a team. Instead, they both scored pins in the Fatal Five-Way to determine Gunther's challenger for the Intercontinental Championship, resulting in a one-on-one match between the frenemies being announced for next week's show.7. Bron Breakker [+3]
A successful week for the NXT Champion, as Bron Breakker teamed with The Creed Brothers to beat Indus Sher, and then cemented his title match at Stand & Deliver against Carmelo Hayes.6. Cody Rhodes [-1]
No match for this year's Royal Rumble winner, but Cody Rhodes did help out Sami Zayn during his brawls with The Bloodline this week.5. Becky Lynch & Lita [-1]
The new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions took part in a promo battle on Raw, setting in stone a Six-Woman Tag at WrestleMania pitting Becky Lynch, Lita & Trish Stratus against Damage Ctrl.4. Roxanne Perez [NR]
In a hard-fought end to NXT Roadblock, Roxanne Perez retained her NXT Women's Championship over Meiko Satormura, but then collapsed after the match and was taken away in an ambulance.3. Asuka [-1]
Another week and still no real progression in Asuka's Raw Women's Championship rivalry with Bianca Belair, as she only came out on Raw to spray mist in Chelsea Green's eyes.2. The Bloodline [-1]
While Jey Uso is back in the fold and The Bloodline is once again at full strength, that doesn't change the fact that both Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso lost their respective matches on Raw to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.1. Judgment Day [+2]
While some interference by Edge caused Finn Balor against Johnny Gargano on Raw, Judgment Day bounced back with a win over Legado del Fantasma on SmackDown.HONORABLE MENTIONS
Bianca Belair - The Raw Women's Champion scored her 487th win over Carmella on the latest episode of Raw.
Johnny Gargano - Another win for Johnny Gargano on Raw over Finn Balor, and he will challenge Grayson Waller at NXT Stand & Deliver.
Tony D'Angelo - In a Jailhouse Street Fight, Tony D'Angelo locked up Dijak to pick up the victory.
Gigi Dolin - In a battle of former best friends, Gigi Dolin was victorious over Jacy Jayne at NXT Roadblock.
