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. Ilja Dragunov [-5]
After eating another Ends of Days from Baron Corbin on NXT, Ilja Dragunov made the challenge to defend his NXT Championship against the Lone Wolf at Deadline.9. Meta-Four [NR]
With their feud with Alpha Academy bubbling up, Meta-Four's Lash Legend picked up a shock (albeit tainted) victory over Roxanne Perez to qualify for the upcoming Iron Survivor Challenge.8. Trick Williams [NR]

There was no in-ring action to continue Diamond Mine's strong start to life on the main roster this week, but they are still being attached to Alpha Academy backstage.6. The Street Profits [NR]
In a Triple Threat on SmackDown, The Street Profits overcame both The Brawling Brutes and Pretty Deadly to earn a future opportunity for the Tag Team Championships.5. The Bloodline [-2]
With Roman Reigns back on vacation seemingly until January, The Bloodline dropped down this week thanks to another loss for Jimmy Uso against LA Knight.4. The Miz [+6]
The Miz shoots up the Power Rankings thanks to his victory over Ivar on Raw, making up for last week's wonky finish to firmly establish himself as the next challenger for Gunther's Intercontinental Championship.3. The Family [NR]
Only three weeks after losing the NXT Tag Team Championships, The Family recaptured the belts on Tuesday from Chase U thanks to the scandal surrounding Andre Chase right now.2. Seth Rollins [No Change]
