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. Chase U [-4]
No wrestling for Chase U on this week's NXT, as they were limited to a backstage segment with Axiom & Nathan Frazer to build up their Tag Team Championship match at No Mercy.9. Pete Dunne [NR]
The Triple Threat Tournament to determine Bron Breakker's next Intercontinental Championship challenger kicked off on Raw, with Pete Dunne defeating The Miz and Xavier Woods to advance.8. Jey Uso [NR]
Joining Pete Dunne in the pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship is Jey Uso, after he overcame Kofi Kingston and Karrion Kross to stake his claim to be Bron Breakker's next opponent.7. The Bloodline [-2]
With zero presence on the Bash in Berlin card, The Bloodline didn't even appear on SmackDown this past week, so their story with Roman Reigns will have to wait until they return stateside.6. Bronson Reed [+2]
Although his match with Braun Strowman on Raw ended as a no-contest, Bronson Reed's path of destruction continued, splashing Strowman with the Tsunami atop a car roof.5. Nia Jax [NR]
In a SmackDown Street Fight, Nia Jax retained her WWE Women's Championship over Mia Yim, thanks in part to some timely interference from Tiffany Stratton.4. Bron Breakker [-2]
With the Intercontinental Championship tournament underway, Bron Breakker is currently just sitting back to see who steps up to earn the next title shot.3. Cody Rhodes [-2]
Before he battles Kevin Owens over the WWE Championship at Bash in Berlin, Cody Rhodes had a mostly cordial promo exchange with his friend-turned-opponent.2. Judgment Day [+1]
In Raw's opening contest, Judgment Day's male contingent of Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh & Carlito defeated the LWO's Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro.1. LA Knight [+3]
On SmackDown in Berlin, LA Knight's open challenge for the United States Championship was answered by Germany's own Ludwig Kaiser. Despite the partisan crowd behind his opponent, Knight retained his title to rise to the top of the Power Rankings.HONORABLE MENTIONS
