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. Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams [-4]
New NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes opened up Tuesday's show to announce a Fatal Four-Way main event to determine his first challenger since winning the belt.9. Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn [NR]
Thanks to some inevitable miscommunication between Fallon Henley and Kiana James, Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn retained their NXT Women's Tag Team Championships over the former champs.8. Austin Theory [-3]
Perhaps due to the travel difficulties that hampered Raw, United States Champion Austin Theory was nowhere to be seen on Monday's episode.7. Grayson Waller [NR]
It was Grayson Waller who emerged victorious in the aforementioned Fatal Four-Way, beating Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh and Duke Hudson to earn the first shot at Carmelo Hayes' NXT Championship.6. Damage CTRL [NR]
Meanwhile on Raw there was a Triple Threat to determine Bianca Belair's next opponent for the Raw Women's Championship, with Damage CTRL's Iyo Sky getting the better of Mia Yim and Piper Niven.5. Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez [NR]
We have new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions after Raw, as Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez overcame Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus, substituting for an injured Lita, who then promptly turned on Lynch after the match.4. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn [-1]
With no sign of their feud with The Bloodline being over, Kevin Owens suffered a loss to Solo Sikoa on Raw.3. Bianca Belair [-2]
Bianca Belair took it easy to watch Iyo Sky earn the right to challenge her next for the Raw Women's Championship.2. Judgment Day [+2]
Wins for Finn Balor over Rey Mysterio on Raw and Damien Priest over Santos Escobar on SmackDown made this a successful week for the Judgment Day crew.1. The Bloodline [+1]
