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. Matt Riddle [NR]
Experiencing a hit-and-miss run since his return to TV, Matt Riddle enjoyed one of the better moments of his comeback on Raw, teaming with Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn to defeat Imperium.9. Seth Rollins [-4]
Another week, another pre-taped promo for Seth Rollins while he shoots for the new Captain America movie. But he'll be back for Night of Champions, where he contends to become the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion.8. The OC [+2]
Standing between Seth Rollins and that World Heavyweight Championship is AJ Styles, who warmed up for this title bout at Night of Champions with a victory over Karrion Kross on SmackDown.7. Austin Theory [NR]
The United States Champion missed out on Night of Champions, but Austin Theory did enjoy a successful title defense over Sheamus on SmackDown.6. Lyra Valkyria [NR]
The final in the tournament to crown a new NXT Women's Champion is set for Battleground, starting with Lyra Valkyria, who was victorious over Cora Jade on Tuesday's show.5. Tiffany Stratton [NR]
Opposite Lyra Valkyria will be Tiffany Stratton, who will be considered the heavy favorite to capture the gold after defeating Roxanne Perez in the semi-final.4. Bianca Belair [-2]
The Raw Women's Champion cut a promo on SmackDown, which descended into a brawl with Asuka before their clash at Night of Champions.3. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn [+1]

Moving on quickly from Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez found a new tag team partner on Raw, as after beating Sonya Deville she was saved from a post-match attack by Shotzi. This new tandem then went on to defeat Damage CTRL on SmackDown.1. Judgment Day [No Change]
