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. The OC [-2]

It wasn't to be for AJ Styles at Night of Champions, as he fell to Seth Rollins in the battle to become the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion. But, he bounced back to team with Rollins on Raw and beat Judgment Day, while The OC's Gallows & Anderson scored a win over Hit Row on SmackDown.

9. Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams [NR]

Two successful title defenses in two shows for NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes. At Battleground, he defeated Bron Breakker once and for all, and followed this up with a victory over Heritage Cup holder Noam Dar on Tuesday. However, Hayes is now caught in the crosshairs of Baron Corbin.

8. Bianca Belair [-4]

For the first time since WrestleMania 38, Bianca Belair is no longer Raw Women's Champion. Thanks to blue mist in the eyes and a couple of stiff kicks, Belair was toppled at Night of Champions by Asuka.

7. Asuka [NR]

Speaking of Asuka, the Empress of Tomorrow captured her third reign as Raw Women's Champion with her victory over Bianca Belair, but the tainted nature of her win meant she still felt the wrath of the EST on SmackDown.

6. Austin Theory [+1]

While there was no match for the United States Champion at Night of Champions, Austin Theory did pick up a win on SmackDown alongside Pretty Deadly over The Brawling Brutes.

5. Raquel Rodriguez [-3]

With new tag partner Shotzi by her side, Raquel Rodriguez was unable to recapture the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships on Raw, instead watching them be won by Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler.

4. Seth Rollins [+5]

We have a new World Heavyweight Champion coming out of Night of Champions, as Seth Rollins stomped out AJ Styles to win the brand new title. He returned on Raw to team up with Styles for another victory over Judgment Day.

3. Tiffany Stratton [+2]

Another vacant championship found its new owner at Battleground, as Tiffany Stratton became the NXT Women's Champion by defeating Lyra Valkyria.

2. Judgment Day [-1]

The week started great for Judgment Day, with Rhea Ripley absolutely squashing Natalya at Night of Champions to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship. But, Finn Balor & Damian Priest could not follow this up, losing to Seth Rollins & AJ Styles on Raw.

1. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn [+2]

Finally achieving a measure of retribution over Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn retained the Undisputed Tag Team Championships at Night of Champions over Reigns & Solo Sikoa, thanks to Jimmy Uso snapping and kicking Reigns out of the ring.
