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. Jordynne Grace [NR]
While a simple victory over Stevie Turner may not be enough for everyone to make the Power Rankings, it was impossible to resist the opportunity to put TNA Knockout's Champion Jordynne Grace on this week's listings. Grace enjoyed a comfortable warm-up on Tuesday before she battles Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Championship at Battleground.9. Cody Rhodes [-3]
After being swerved last week by AJ Styles' fake retirement, Cody Rhodes sought revenge on SmackDown. But he couldn't get to Styles & The OC, so settled for beating up security instead.8. Bron Breakker [NR]
After destroying jobbers for most of his main roster career thus far, Bron Breakker beat some real competition on Raw with his victory over Ricochet.7. Lyra Valkyria [-2]
No in-ring action for Lyra Valkyria this week, as she did her fighting backstage when she was blindsided by a wrathful Iyo Sky on Raw.6. The Family [NR]
Tony D'Angelo maintained his grip on the NXT Heritage Cup on Tuesday's show, defeating Damon Kemp in the latest installment of The Family/No Quarter Catch Crew feud.5. Judgment Day [NR]
Raw witnessed a pair of victories for the Judgment Day over LWO, kicking off with Finn Balor's win over Dragon Lee. Then in the main event, World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest was victorious against Rey Mysterio.4. Liv Morgan [-1]
The Women's World Champion continued her flirtations with Dominik Mysterio on Raw, as Liv Morgan got up close and personal with him in two segments to get under the skin of the injured Rhea Ripley.3. Nia Jax [-1]
While the Queen of the Ring awaits her championship match at SummerSlam, Nia Jax was involved in a backstage brawl with Michin to set up an interim feud.2. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill [+2]
The Women's Tag Team Champions defended their titles on Raw against Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark, ending in a DQ thanks to interference by Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn. On SmackDown, Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill picked up a more convincing win over Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell.1. Imperium [No Change]
