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. Asuka [-3]

Although she was awarded a fancy new golden belt on SmackDown, Asuka experienced a familiar feeling of dread as she came face-to-face with Charlotte Flair challenging for her championship.

9. Thea Hail [NR]

In a surprise result of NXT's Women's Battle Royal, the plucky Thea Hail eliminated Dana Brooke and Cora Jade to earn the right to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women's Championship – the youngest title contender in WWE history.

8. Becky Lynch [NR]

In what feels like a rare win for her in recent months, Becky Lynch overcame Sonya Deville to secure a spot in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

7. Zoey Stark [NR]

Becky Lynch's current rival, Zoey Stark, accompanied by her new mentor Trish Stratus, also earned her place in next month's ladder match with a victory over Natalya.

6. Damage CTRL [+1]

Both healthy members of Damage CTRL will also be part of the growing field for the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Bayley qualified with a win over Mia Yim, while Iyo Sky was victorious over Shotzi.

5. Tiffany Stratton [-2]

NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton sat back and relaxed as she watched Thea Hail win a Battle Royal to become the next Number One Contender.

4. Judgment Day [-2]

Taking on Seth Rollins' open challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship and causing some tension with his stablemate Finn Balor, Damian Priest came up short in his first world championship opportunity.

3. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn [-2]

Kevin Owens took on Gunther in a non-title match on Raw, with the Intercontinental Champion getting the better of the Tag Champion on this occasion.

2. Austin Theory [+4]

Thrusted into a United States Championship defense against Jey Uso, Austin Theory took advantage of the disharmony within The Bloodline to retain his title.

1. Seth Rollins [+3]

In the first defense of his newly won World Heavyweight Championship, Seth Rollins defeated Judgment Day's Damian Priest to hold onto the gold.
