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. The Rascalz [NR]
Back-to-back wins on NXT mean the NXT-TNA hybrid of The Rascalz earn their spot on the Power Rankings. Ths week, they overcame NXT Tag Team Champions Axiom & Nathan Frazer & Je'Von Evans.9. DIY [-5]
The WWE Tag Team Champions DIY sat back and watched as Tama Tonga & Jacob Fatu became the next contenders for their titles.8. Sami Zayn & Jey Uso [NR]
In the Raw main event, the reunited BFFs of Sami Zayn & Jey Uso beat the World Tag Team Champions Finn Balor & JD McDonagh. However, their celebrations were cut short by a Bron Breakker spear.7. Oba Femi [-4]
No match for Oba Femi this week, as the North American Champion awaits his next victim in pursuit of his gold.6. Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark [+2]
This trio continued to gain momentum on Raw, with Sonya Deville beating Lyra Valkyria in singles action. But it was tempered slightly with Zoey Stark's failure to defeat Zelina Vega later in the show.5. Meta-Four [NR]
It was a strong week for members of the Meta-Four on NXT, as Oro Mensah defeated Ashante Thee Adonis, followed by Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson's victory over Sol Ruca & Karmen Petrovic.4. Ethan Page [-3]
Speaking of Meta-Four, NXT Champion Ethan Page continues to be plagued by Oro Mensah's antics, which will lead to a title match in the near future.3. Bron Breakker [NR]
Bron Breakker will have another chance to become the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam after he beat Ilja Dragunov by referee stoppage on Raw.2. The Bloodline [NR]
In SmackDown's Tag Team Turmoil, The Bloodline took advantage of a battle-worn Street Profits to win the match and earn a shot at DIY's WWE Tag Team Championships.1. Judgment Day [No Change]
The shortcomings of others on last week's Power Rankings mean Judgment Day stay on top yet again, despite Finn Balor & JD McDonagh falling to Sami Zayn & Jey Uso on Raw. But, Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio seemingly reunited, so I guess that counts as a win?HONORABLE MENTIONS
Final Testament - In a Six-Man Tag on Raw, The Final Testament were the victors over Xavier Woods and the remnants of Alpha Academy.
Brooks Jensen - Thanks to an assist from Shawn Spears, Brooks Jensen beat his former tag partner Josh Briggs on NXT.
