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. Legada del Fantasma [-9]

After Santos Escobar made no impact in the Royal Rumble and Angel & Humberto failed to win an opportunity at the Tag Team Championships on SmackDown, last week's number one Legada del Fantasma plummet to the bottom of this week's top 10.

9. Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark [+1]

Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark continue to pile up wins in pursuit of the Women's Tag Team Championships, comfortably dispatching of former champs Chelsea Green & Piper Niven on Monday's Raw.

8. Judgment Day [NR]

Despite all four male members of Judgment Day being in the Royal Rumble, none could take the crowning victory. Raw did start better for the group with Finn Balor & Damian Priest retaining their Tag Team Championships against DIY, but ended badly as Rhea Ripley was crushed by a frustrated Nia Jax.

7. Logan Paul [NR]

WWE's favorite YouTuber is still United States Champion after Royal Rumble, as some handy interference and the referee spotting Kevin Owens' brass knuckles allowed Logan Paul to retain his title via DQ.

6. Damage CTRL [-2]

Before SmackDown Damage CTRL were set to top this week's Power Rankings. However, Bayley's decision to leave the group after the snide remarks she received from Iyo Sky, Asuka & Kairi Sane means they instead fall, with Sky in Bayley's sights for WrestleMania.

5. Trick Melo [+2]

Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams advanced to the final of the Dusty Rhodes Classic on NXT with their victory over the LWO. However, with Williams also focused on capturing the NXT Championship from Ilja Dragunov at Vengeance Day, will this distraction cost the pair against Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin on Sunday?

4. Imperium [NR]

Gunther had another standout display in this year's Royal Rumble, reaching the final three before being eliminated by his old adversary Cody Rhodes. Nevertheless, he bounced back on Raw to defeat Kofi Kingston and extend his record-breaking Intercontinental Championship reign.

3. The Bloodline [NR]

Thanks to the age-old formula of Solo Sikoa interference, Roman Reigns overcame Randy Orton, LA Knight and AJ Styles at Royal Rumble to retain his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Then, on a rare venture to SmackDown, Reigns learned his WrestleMania opponent, which will not be…

2. Cody Rhodes [NR]

After going back-to-back at this year's Royal Rumble, last eliminating CM Punk, Cody Rhodes seemed like he was finally going to finish his story. But, The Rock's arrival on the scene changed all plans, meaning Rhodes will once again take a backseat and settle for Seth Rollins' third-rate world championship at WrestleMania.

1. Bayley [+3]

Entering the Women's Royal Rumble at number three, Bayley survived over an hour to last eliminate Liv Morgan and win the whole thing. On SmackDown, she cemented her choice of opponent as her former friend Iyo Sky and the WWE Women's Championship, ending her allegiance to Damage CTRL in the process.
