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. Becky Lynch [NR]

Becky Lynch settled her recent animosity with Liv Morgan by beating her on this week's Raw. But before she can take on Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania, she has one final hurdle to overcome – a Last Woman Standing Match with Nia Jax.

9. Imperium [-4]

No in-ring action for any of the members of Imperium this week, as the focus was on who would be challenging Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.

8. Oba Femi [NR]

Oba Femi's burgeoning reign as North American Champion continued on this week's NXT, as he swatted away the challenge of Brooks Jensen.

7. Drew McIntyre [-3]

Drew McIntyre continued to cajole Seth Rollins in a promo by Raw, only for the World Heavyweight Champion to get into McIntyre's head by claiming that his WrestleMania challenger is the least of his concerns right now.

6. Tiffany Stratton [-3]

After several impressive victories in a row, Tiffany Stratton was conspicuously absent from this week's SmackDown, meaning we missed out on more Tiffy Time.

5. Legada Del Fantasma [NR]

SmackDown was very successful for Legada Del Fantasma. First, Angel & Berto advanced to the WrestleMania Six-Pack Ladder Match for the Tag Team Championships by defeating the LWO. This was soon followed by Santos Escobar scoring a win over Dragon Lee.

4. Randy Orton [+2]

Also on SmackDown, Randy Orton picked up his latest victory over Grayson Waller, and learned that both he and Kevin Owens would be challenging Logan Paul at WrestleMania for the United States Championship in a Triple Threat.

3. Sami Zayn [+4]

With a shot at the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania on the line, it was Sami Zayn who ran the Gauntlet to challenge Gunther. Zayn beat Bronson Reed, Shinsuke Nakamura and Chad Gable on the way to securing his Mania spot.

2. Judgment Day [No Change]

Judgment Day remain in the second spot on the Power Rankings as despite JD McDonagh failing to make a mark on the Intercontinental Championship Gauntlet, Damian Priest made light work of beating R-Truth on Raw.

1. Damage CTRL [No Change]

Another week, another successful Women's Tag Team Championship defense for The Kabuki Warriors, this time overcoming Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark on Raw. Then back on their home turf of SmackDown, Dakota Kai might have suffered a DQ loss to Bayley, but Damage CTRL left their former leader and Naomi laying to close the show.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

LWO - While they won't be in the WrestleMania Ladder Match, LWO's Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro will be in the upcoming Triple Threat No.1 Contender's Match for the NXT Tag Team Championships after they beat OTM on Tuesday.

Lexis King - Getting back to winning ways, Lexis King pinned Robert Stone on NXT to send a message to Von Wagner.

Fallon Henley & Thea Hail - With Fallon Henley coming to Thea Hail's aid after Kelani Jordan had been taken out, the pair overcame Kiana James & Izzi Dame on NXT.

Shawn Spears - Continuing his quest to unleash Ridge Holland's anger, Shawn Spears defeated him on Tuesday's NXT.

New Catch Republic - Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate will have another opportunity to capture the Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania after they beat Pretty Deadly on SmackDown to qualify for the Six-Pack Ladder Match.
