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. Bronson Reed [NR]

With back-to-back wins over Alpha Academy on Raw, Bronson Reed is building momentum and should soon be in line for a future championship opportunity.

9. Trick Williams [NR]

Speaking of back-to-back wins, Trick Williams achieved that on Tuesday in one night. First, he defeated Joe Gacy one-on-one, and returned for the main event Fatal Four-Way to defeat Dragon Lee, Tyler Bate and Axiom and earn a shot at the NXT North American Championship.

8. The Brawling Brutes [NR]

While SmackDown hasn't been the happiest hunting ground for The Brawling Brutes recently, Butch is right at home on Tuesday nights. The Bruiserweight beat Joe Coffey in the Heritage Cup Invitational Final, and will challenge Noam Dar for that trophy at No Mercy.

7. Damage CTRL [-3]

On SmackDown, Bayley could not derail or even slow Charlotte Flair's inevitable run to another championship opportunity, as this loss keeps the Queen on track for Iyo Sky's WWE Women's Championship.

6. LA Knight [-1]

Now fully recovered from his illness, LA Knight showed up in SmackDown's main event segment to save John Cena, meaning he and the GOAT will team up against The Bloodline at Fastlane.

5. Tommaso Ciampa [+4]

It's two down, one to go for Tommaso Ciampa after beating Ludwig Kaiser on Raw. But the biggest test is yet to come, as he attempts to do something no one has managed for 476 days – take the Intercontinental Championship from Gunther.

4. Drew McIntyre [+3]

Another man on a roll on Raw is Drew McIntyre, whose victory over Kofi Kingston on Raw, and then refused to rescue him from a post-match beatdown by the Viking Raiders, further cementing his turn towards the dark side.

3. Becky Lynch [-2]

No in-ring action for Becky Lynch this week, as she focuses her attention to a rematch and NXT Women's Championship defense against Tiffany Stratton at No Mercy.

2. LWO [No Change]

Quite the unusual situation here, as while Rey Mysterio successfully defended his United States Championship on SmackDown, he did so at the expense of his LWO teammate Santos Escobar. So I've decided they cancelled each other out.

1. Judgment Day [+2]

Raw, as is often the case, was dominated by the Judgment Day. Dominik Mysterio retained his NXT North American Championship over Dragon Lee, while Finn Balor & Damian Priest are still the Undisputed Tag Team Champions by beating Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Tegan Nox - After being robbed of an NXT Women's Championship shot last week, Tegan Nox got a rare win on Raw over Natalya.

Nia Jax - Back in WWE, Nia Jax scored her first victory since her return against Zoey Stark on Raw.

Out The Mud - The upstart team of Lucien Price & Bronco Nima beat Hank & Tank to earn a place in the NXT Tag Team Championship match at No Mercy.

Eddy Thorpe - Continuing his strong form in NXT, Eddy Thorpe beat Dijak in a Strap Match on Tuesday night.

Charlotte Flair - With a win over Damage CTRL's Bayley on SmackDown, it's only a matter of time until Charlotte Flair is wearing gold again.
