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. Bronson Reed [NR]

After demolishing Seth Rollins with half a dozen Tsunamis last week, Bronson Reed beat The Miz on Raw and delivered a similar destruction job on the beloved R-Truth.

9. Nia Jax [-4]

Nia Jax received a championship celebration fit for a Queen on SmackDown, organized by Tiffany Stratton and with a performance by Pretty Deadly. Unfortunately, the celebration was cut short by Mia Yim and a kendo stick.

8. The Street Profits [NR]

The two-week tournament on SmackDown to determine the next challengers for the WWE Tag Team Championships ended with The Street Profits beating the former champions DIY.

7. No Quarter Catch Crew [NR]

The No Quarter Catch Crew after several months finally reclaimed their grasp on the NXT Heritage Cup, as Charlie Dempsey overcame Tony D'Angelo 2-1 on Tuesday night to recapture the trophy.

6. Oba Femi [NR]

One title that didn't change hands on this week's NXT was the North American Championship. Oba Femi's indomitable reign continued on Tuesday, as he defeated Alpha Academy member and Raw superstar Otis.

5. Cody Rhodes [-2]

WWE Champion Cody Rhodes confirmed that he would defend his title against Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin, despite Owens' protestations. On SmackDown, he saved Owens from a post-match attack by A-Town Down Under.

4. Imperium [-2]

Meanwhile on Raw, World Heavyweight Champion Gunther had a face-to-face confrontation with his next challenger Randy Orton, and his night ended early courtesy of an RKO.

3. Chase U [NR]

The rehabilitation of Ridge Holland came full circle on this week's NXT, as the often maligned superstar led the charge for Chase U to capture the NXT Tag Team Championships from Axiom & Nathan Frazer.

2. Judgment Day [-1]

Judgment Day drops from top spot of the Power Rankings thanks to their apple-spitting accomplice Carlito losing to Damian Priest in Raw's opening match. Liv Morgan also had to save Dominik Mysterio from suffering a Riptide at the hands of his vengeful ex Rhea Ripley.

1. Bron Breakker [+3]

The recently crowned Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker charged his way to the top of this week's Power Rankings by defeating Sami Zayn in their blow-off 2-out-of-3 Falls Match in the Raw main event. This cements Breakker's reign and opens up the field for more challengers to emerge.
