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. DIY [NR]
Reunited and it feels so good. DIY teamed up together for the first time in a while to defeat Imperium's Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci on Raw.9. Lyra Valkyria [-4]
A week after her shock victory over Becky Lynch, the new NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria took a break from the ring as she awaits her first challenger.8. Lola Vice [NR]
In the final of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament, Lola Vice overcame the gutsy challenge of Kelani Jordan to win the whole thing.7. Chase U [-3]
Thea Hail & Jacy Jayne could not repeat the feat of Andre Chase & Duke Hudson last week, as they failed to beat Chelsea Green & Piper Niven for the Women's Tag Team Championships.6. Diamond Mine [NR]
The Creed Brothers made a successful splash on the main roster, defeating Alpha Academy on their Raw debut. They followed this up by overcoming Garza & Carrillo in Tuesday's Tables, Ladders & Scares match.5. Becky Lynch [-2]
The now former NXT Women's Champion only made a backstage appearance on Raw this week, as Becky Lynch had a staredown with the recently victorious Xia Li.4. Chelsea Green & Piper Niven [NR]
Although it ended poorly with a non-title defeat to Charlotte Flair & Shotzi on SmackDown, the Women's Tag Team Champions had a successful week overall. On Raw, Chelsea Green beat Natalya in a Halloween Street Fight, before both her and Piper Niven retained their titles over Thea Hail & Jacy Jayne.3. Drew McIntyre [-1]
A week off from in-ring action for Drew McIntyre on Raw, as he prepares to challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at Crown Jewel.2. Ilja Dragunov [+8]
In the main event of Halloween Havoc Night 2, Ilja Dragunov won the final act of his trilogy with Carmelo Hayes, defeating "Him" to defend his NXT Championship.1. Judgment Day [No Change]
No surprises here as Judgment Day remain top of the rankings thanks largely to a pair of victories for Dominik Mysterio. First, he defeated Ricochet on Raw, and followed this up with a successful defense of his North American Championship over Nathan Frazer on NXT.HONORABLE MENTIONS
