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

The NXT Women's Champion was only on promo duty this week, as she prepares for her first title defense against Thea Hail in the coming weeks.9. Pretty Deadly [NR]
Taking advantage of The Brawling Brutes having battled their way past 3 other tag teams, Pretty Deadly picked the bones to earn the next opportunity at the Undisputed Tag Team Championships.8. Thea Hail [+1]
