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. Damage CTRL [NR]

On Raw, Iyo Sky advanced to the semi-final of the Queen of the Ring tournament, overcoming Shayna Baszler. However, this victory was offset by Dakota Kai's loss to Women's World Champion Becky Lynch later in the night.

9. Lyra Valkyria [NR]

Lyra Valkyra will battle Iyo Sky for the right to fight for the Queen of the Ring crown in Saudi Arabia after she defeated Zoey Stark in Monday's other semi-final.

8. Randy Orton [NR]

It was a battle of generations in the main event of SmackDown. In this case, the veteran Randy Orton put the younger Carmelo Hayes in his place, advancing to the semi-finals of the King of the Ring as a result.

7. Bayley [-5]

No in-ring action for Bayley on this week's SmackDown, but the WWE Women's Champion had a backstage segment with Chelsea Green & Piper Niven, setting up a match for next week's show.

6. Imperium [+4]

Gunther's quest to become King of the Ring continued on Raw, as the Ring General overcame Kofi Kingston to advance to the semi-finals.

5. Cody Rhodes [-4]

Taking part in his second contract signing in about three weeks, Cody Rhodes agreed to only defend his WWE Championship against Logan Paul at King & Queen of the Ring. Rhodes then planted one of Paul's entourage through a table.

4. Jey Uso [+3]

Despite not being initially included in the King of the Ring tournament, Jey Uso is taking full advantage of this opportunity. In Raw's main event, Uso beat the brand's newcomer Ilja Dragunov to book his match with Gunther in the semi-finals.

3. The Bloodline [+3]

This new iteration of The Bloodline continues to build momentum over on SmackDown, as Tama Tonga took down LA Knight to advance to the semi-finals of the King of the Ring, where he'll take on Randy Orton.

2. Judgment Day [+3]

While Damian Priest sets his sights on Drew McIntyre in their feud over the World Heavyweight Championship, Finn Balor & JD McDonagh picked up a win for Judgment Day over AOP, The Creed Brothers and New Catch Republic to earn a shot at the World Tag Team Championships.

1. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill [+2]

Bianca Belair reached the semi-finals of the Queen of the Ring in the SmackDown opener, dropping Tiffany Stratton with the KOD. But, she will not be battling her fellow Tag Team Champion in that match, as Jade Cargill was disqualified in the other quarter-final against Nia Jax.
