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. Sami Zayn [NR]

Continuing his pursuit of Gunther and that elusive World Heavyweight Championship, Sami Zayn defeated the Ring General's second-in-command Ludwig Kaiser on Raw.

9. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill [-5]

Because WWE have already their 5-match quota for Bad Blood, WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill will have to settle for hosting the event, rather than putting their gold up for grabs.

8. The Bloodline [NR]

Before Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu battle Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns at Bad Blood, The Bloodline's heavy hitters were victorious on SmackDown over Randy Orton & Kevin Owens.

7. LA Knight [-4]

Following this week's SmackDown, United States Champion LA Knight finds himself in the crosshairs of Carmelo Hayes and on shaky ground with Andrade El Idolo, after Andrade felt disrespected due to Knight's behavior after their match last week.

6. Kelani Jordan [NR]

Kelani Jordan's reign as the Women's North American Champion survived this week's NXT, as she defeated No Quarter Catch Crew's Wren Sinclair to retain her title.

5. Judgment Day [-3]

Judgment Day was all over Monday's Raw in promos and backstage segments. But the only in-ring action the group saw ended in defeat, with the LWO's Dragon Lee beating Carlito.

4. Bayley [+4]

Bayley secured a rematch with Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Championship by defeating her friend Naomi on SmackDown.

3. Damage CTRL [+3]

Damage CTRL continued to build momentum in their pursuit of the Women's Tag Team Championships, defeating the former champs Unholy Union on Raw.

2. Cody Rhodes [-1]

Cody Rhodes' uneasy alliance with Roman Reigns caused some tension with his long-time allies Randy Orton & Kevin Owens on SmackDown, and Rhodes was unable to help his friends defeat The Bloodline in Friday's main event.

1. Jey Uso [+6]

Finally living up to his "Main Event" moniker, Jey Uso rose to the occasion to beat Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship on Raw. This marks a first singles title win for Uso, a fitting reward for his rise in popularity over the past two years.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

American Made - The Creed Brothers' victory over The New Day on Raw exposed even more fractures in the longstanding group.

Ridge Holland - Another week, another victory for Ridge Holland over a member of Chase U, this time dispatching of Riley Osborne.

A-Town Down Under - They needed to drop down to NXT, but A-Town Down Under finally got a win after so many recent losses, beating Je'Von Evans & Cedric Alexander.

Carmelo Hayes - Returning to the never-ending feud between Carmelo Hayes & Andrade El Idolo, Hayes emerged victorious on SmackDown to level their series at 3-3.

Michin - Before she fights Chelsea Green in a Dumpster Match next week, Michin beat Green's partner in crime Piper Niven on Friday's SmackDown.
