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. Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville [-5]
No match for the Women's Tag Team Champions this week, and they aren't booked for SummerSlam, so let's wait and see what makeshift unit steps up next.9. Imperium [NR]
It was two wins on Raw between the Imperium trio. Ludwig Kaiser enjoyed a rare win over Matt Riddle, and Gunther followed this up with a testing victory against Chad Gable.8. Charlotte Flair [-4]
One of the challengers for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair was spotlighted in a video package on SmackDown. But no match sees her drop down the rankings this week.7. The Family [NR]
Many months and a stint in prison later, Tony D'Angelo & Channing Stacks Lorenzo defeated Gallus to capture the NXT Tag Team Championships at The Great American Bash.6. The Usos [+3]
On the eve of the biggest singles match of his whole career, Jey Uso defeated his brother and The Bloodline's enforcer Solo Sikoa on SmackDown.5. Carmelo Hayes [NR]
The NXT Champion withstood the onslaught from Ilja Dragunov to retain his title at The Great American Bash. However, Carmelo Hayes' team-up with Wes Lee on NXT ended up in a surprise loss to the Meta-Four's Noam Dar & Oro Mensah.4. Tiffany Stratton [NR]
Also at The Great American Bash, Tiffany Stratton successfully defended her NXT Women's Championship against Thea Hail when Andre Chase threw in the towel during their Submission Match.3. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn [No Change]
While Kevin Owens remains on the shelf for the foreseeable future, Sami Zayn paired up with Seth Rollins to defeat The Judgment Day in Raw's main event.2. The Judgment Day [-1]
That loss for Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio to Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn on Raw sees them drop from the top of the Power Rankings for the first time in weeks. However, Dominik Mysterio was able to keep hold of his North American Championship at The Great American Bash against Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali.1. LWO [+1]
The LWO take top spot with a couple of solid victories this week. Santos Escobar returned to NXT to help former rivals The Family beat Gallus in Six-Man Tag, while Zelina Vega was victorious over Iyo Sky on SmackDown.HONORABLE MENTIONS
