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. Dijak [NR]
Dijak built some momentum before challenging Oba Femi for the North American Championship at Stand & Deliver, beating the recently returned Shawn Spears on Tuesday.9. Jey Uso [NR]
With a personal battle against his brother Jimmy at WrestleMania on the horizon, Main Event Jey Uso was victorious in Raw's main event versus Shinsuke Nakamura. Although, it was just a prelude to the real main event of The Rock kicking Cody Rhodes' ass.8. Ricochet [NR]
Ricochet's winning run against The Judgment Day continued on Monday's Raw, as he beat JD McDonagh for the second time in three weeks.7. Legada Del Fantasma [-5]
A SmackDown staredown between Legada Del Fantasma and LWO set up a WrestleMania tag team match between the factions. Meanwhile, Angel & Berto failed to qualify for the WrestleMania Ladder Match, losing to the New Catch Republic.6. Judgment Day [-2]
Judgment Day appear to be going in multiple different directions for WrestleMania. JD McDonagh continues to fall short against Ricochet, Dominik Mysterio is back focusing on his father, and Finn Balor & Damian Priest attempted to send a message to their Tag Team Championship challengers.5. Becky Lynch [-1]
No wrestling for Becky Lynch this week, but in her promo battle with Rhea Ripley she did clock Dominik Mysterio in the jaw.4. The Wolf Dogs [NR]
Before they defend the NXT Tag Team Championships at Stand & Deliver, The Wolf Dogs prevented Alpha Academy from joining the match by defeating them on Tuesday's episode.3. New Catch Republic [NR]
New Catch Republic secured their spot in the 6-Way Ladder Match for the Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania by beating Legada Del Fantasma on SmackDown.2. A-Town Down Under [+7]
