WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #468 - The Rock (And His Cousin) Return To WWE | 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

Power Ranking WWE wrestlers list roster

10. Shayna Baszler [NR]

Enjoying a recent spell of success, Shayna Baszler continued her winning ways on Raw with a victory over Chelsea Green, and took a step closer to forming a team with Zoey Stark.

9. Tiffany Stratton [-3]

Tiffany Stratton's time as NXT Women's Champion is over. In a spirited match against main roster megastar Becky Lynch, Stratton couldn't rise up to her veteran opponent and lost her title.

8. Alpha Academy [+2]

Coming off the disappointment of failing to capture the Intercontinental Championship, Chad Gable & Otis teamed up with Tommaso Ciampa to beat Imperium in a Six-Man Tag on Raw.

7. Ilja Dragunov [NR]

In a typically excellent match, Ilja Dragunov pinned Wes Lee to earn another opportunity at Carmelo Hayes and the NXT Championship.

6. Imperium [-1]

Raw was meant to be a celebration for Gunther's record-setting run as Intercontinental Champion. But the show turned sour for Imperium when they fell to Alpha Academy & Tommaso Ciampa in a Six-Man Tag.

5. Seth Rollins [-2]

Only a promo segment for Seth Rollins this week, as he prepares to put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Shinsuke Nakamura… again.

4. LWO [-2]

With Rey Mysterio vs Santos Escobar seemingly pencilled in for the United States Championship, Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits took the fight to the LWO, winning a tag match over Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro.

3. LA Knight [+4]

In a Payback rematch, LA Knight made it back-to-back wins over The Miz on SmackDown, and has apparently caught the attention of Paul Heyman and The Bloodline.

2. Becky Lynch [+2]

The Man is now a Grand Slam Champion. Becky Lynch captured the one championship that has eluded her throughout her career, the NXT Women's Championship, by defeating Tiffany Stratton on Tuesday.

1. Judgment Day [No Change]

Still top of the mountain, Judgment Day enjoyed three wins on TV this week. Finn Balor & Damian Priest beat Kevin Owens & Jey Uso on Raw, with Balor following this up with a win over AJ Styles on SmackDown. But the biggest story was Rhea Ripley retaining her Women's World Championship over Raquel Rodriguez, which was capped off by the return of Nia Jax.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Drew McIntyre - On Raw, Drew McIntyre went one-on-one with Xavier Woods, beating The New Day stalwart.

Tyler Bate - The NXT Heritage Cup Tournament continued on Tuesday, with Tyler Bate beating Axiom in their group.

Nathan Frazer - On the same show, Nathan Frazer scored two points with his victory over Akira Tozawa.

The Street Profits - Demonstrating some newfound aggression, The Street Profits beat the LWO's Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro on SmackDown.

Asuka - The Empress of Tomorrow continued her pursuit of Iyo Sky and the WWE Women's Championship by beating Bayley on SmackDown.
