WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #472 - The Tuesday Night Beatdown | Smark Out Moment

WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #472 - The Tuesday Night Beatdown

Posted by Callum Wiggins Saturday, October 14, 2023

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. Judgment Day [-9]

From the top to the bottom, it was a rough week for Judgment Day. At Fastlane, Finn Balor & Damian Priest lost the Undisputed Tag Team Championships to Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso, and Priest's injury prevented him from cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase. Judgment Day associate JD McDonagh fell to Drew McIntyre on Raw, while Dominik Mysterio failed to capture the NXT Championship from Ilja Dragunov on Tuesday night.

9. Seth Rollins [NR]

In the Fastlane main event, Seth Rollins was able to withstand the challenge of Shinsuke Nakamura, retaining his World Championship in their Last Man Standing match.

8. Damage CTRL [NR]

Iyo Sky survived the dual threats of Charlotte Flair and Asuka at Fastlane to maintain hold of her WWE Women's Championship. Meanwhile on SmackDown, Bayley picked up a rare victory over Zelina Vega.

7. Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso [NR]

An odd pairing that has proven wildly successful, Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso captured the Undisputed Tag Team Championships at Fastlane from Judgment Day. Less than a week later they've already defended their new belts twice – against Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn on Raw, and against Austin Theory & Grayson Waller on SmackDown.

6. Bronson Reed [+2]

Bronson Reed's win streak continued on Raw, as the big man overcame Ricochet and Chad Gable in a Triple Threat.

5. LWO [+1]

Thanks to the last-minute arrival of Carlito at Fastlane, the LWO was victorious at Fastlane over Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits.

4. LA Knight [+1]

At Fastlane, LA Knight teamed with 'The GOAT' John Cena to beat The Bloodline's Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa. This put him in the crosshairs of Roman Reigns, and following his victory over Sikoa on SmackDown, he was taken out by The Tribal Chief.

3. Ilja Dragunov [+1]

The new NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov scored his first title defense on the Tuesday night war, beating North American Champion Dominik Mysterio.

2. Drew McIntyre [+1]

Now firmly established as Seth Rollins' next World Championship contender, Drew McIntyre picked up another victory on Monday's Raw, this time over JD McDonagh.

1. Becky Lynch [+1]

Another week, another successful title defense for Becky Lynch, as she overcame the delayed challenge of Tegan Nox on Raw.

John Cena - Teaming alongside the red-hot LA Knight, John Cena picked up a win at Fastlane over Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso.
