WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #488 - Hollywood Rock Comes Back To The Bloodline | 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

Power Ranking WWE wrestlers list roster

10. LA Knight [NR]

This week's Power Rankings is packed with Elimination Chamber qualifiers, starting with LA Knight's victory over Ivar on Raw to earn his spot in the men's match.

9. Kevin Owens [NR]

Thanks in part to a distraction from Judgment Day's biggest irritant R-Truth, Kevin Owens was able to defeat Dominik Mysterio on SmackDown to add his name to the mix.

8. Naomi [NR]

Over on the women's side of Elimination Chamber qualifying, the recently returned Naomi's first match on SmackDown saw her beat Alba Fyre and book her spot on the plane to Australia.

7. Liv Morgan [NR]

Another superstar back in action after a lengthy absence is Liv Morgan, who joined the field in the Women's Elimination Chamber after overcoming Zoey Stark on Raw.

6. Logan Paul [NR]

In his first match outside of a PLE, United States Champion Logan Paul beat his former partner/rival The Miz on SmackDown to enter his first Elimination Chamber.

5. Tiffany Stratton [NR]

SmackDown's freshest face Tiffany Stratton has immediately made an impression on the blue brand, and her victory over Zelina Vega secured her spot in the Elimination Chamber.

4. The Pride [NR]

Finally for the Men's Elimination Chamber qualifiers, Bobby Lashley of The Pride takes the highest place on the Rankings thanks to an impressive victory over Bronson Reed, preventing the big man from competing in his home country.

3. Damage CTRL [-1]

A short drop for Damage CTRL after zero in-ring action this week, with Iyo Sky cutting a promo on her opponent Bayley to continue their feud into WrestleMania.

2. Cody Rhodes [-1]

Similarly, Cody Rhodes had no match this week, but did have a promo to establish a mutual alliance with Seth Rollins on Raw. With The Rock now officially in the Bloodline, Rhodes will need these allies in his quest to finally #FinishTheStory™.

1. The Wolf Dogs [+5]

Howling to the top of the Power Rankings this week at The Wolf Dogs, as Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin capitalized on their Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic victory to capture the NXT Tag Team Championships from The Family on Tuesday.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Jey Uso & The New Day - Building up to Jey Uso challenging Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship on next week's Raw, he and The New Day defeated Imperium on Monday.

Judgment Day - Although there will be no Judgment Day representation in the Elimination Chamber, JD McDonagh was able to score a rare win on Raw over R-Truth.

Shinsuke Nakamura - In the main event of Raw, Shinsuke Nakamura beat Sami Zayn to further Zayn's losing streak on the road to WrestleMania.

Meta-Four - In what's becoming a running theme, Meta-Four beat Von Wagner & Robert Stone in the opener of NXT.
