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. The Miz [NR]
A botched finish to Raw's Fatal Four-Way between The Miz, Ricochet, Bronson Reed and Ivar benefited the A-Lister, who earned a shot at Gunther's Intercontinental Championship.9. Zoey Stark [NR]
While she was unable to claim victory in the Women's World Championship match at Crown Jewel, Zoey Stark will get another one-on-one opportunity with Rhea Ripley at Survivor Series after winning Raw's battle royal.8. Damage CTRL [NR]
At Crown Jewel, Damage CTRL expanded with the return of Kairi Sane, with her assistance helping Iyo Sky retain her Women's Championship over Bianca Belair. Then on SmackDown, they expanded even further, with Asuka joining the group after turning her back on Belair and Charlotte Flair.7. Drew McIntyre [-4]
Drew McIntyre came up short in his quest to win the World Championship in front of a crowd at Crown Jewel, as Seth Rollins retained over the Scot.6. Logan Paul [NR]
Crown Jewel did see the crowning of a new United States Champion, as Logan Paul captured his first gold in WWE by beating Rey Mysterio with brass knuckles.5. Ilja Dragunov [-3]
The NXT Champion laid down the challenge to Baron Corbin in a pre-taped promo this week, but there was no in-ring action for Ilja Dragunov on Tuesday's NXT.4. Diamond Mine [+2]
The Creed Brothers' great start to life on the main roster continued on this week's Raw, as they defeated the recently reformed DIY in tag team action.3. The Bloodline [NR]
Crown Jewel was a big night for The Bloodline. Solo Sikoa beat John Cena to a pulp with 11 consecutive Samoan Spikes, and in the main event, Roman Reigns extended his long reign as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion with his victory over LA Knight.2. Seth Rollins [NR]
Two successful World Heavyweight Championship defenses for Seth Rollins in three days. At Crown Jewel, he overcame Drew McIntyre in the show opener, before returning to Raw to defeat Sami Zayn in the main event.1. Judgment Day [No Change]
