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. LA Knight [NR]

Proving to be a true fighting champion, LA Knight's latest United States Championship defense took place on Friday's SmackDown against Carmelo Hayes, with yet another successful result.

9. Roman Reigns [NR]

In the Bad Blood main event, Roman Reigns was able to put aside his animosity with Cody Rhodes to team with him to victory over The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu. Beyond this, Reigns also reunited with his cousin Jimmy Uso, giving him another ally in the battle to reclaim his tribe.

8. CM Punk [NR]

Fighting through blood, steel and charm beads, CM Punk withstood Drew McIntyre and Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood to secure his biggest victory since his return to WWE.

7. The Family [NR]

In the most shocking result of the week, Tony D'Angelo summoned his 'Rocky' spirit on NXT to topple to indomitable Oba Femi, becoming the new North American Champion.

6. Nia Jax [NR]

At Bad Blood, Nia Jax retained her WWE Women's Championship against the former champ Bayley, thanks in part to an assist by Tiffany Stratton. But, Jax herself was the victim of a run-in by Liv Morgan on SmackDown, allowing Naomi to pin her in a non-title match.

5. Trick Williams [-4]

After winning the NXT Championship on last week's episode, Trick Williams celebrated his victory in the opening segment of Tuesday's NXT. We'll have to wait until next week to learn which of Ethan Page, Je'Von Evans and Wes Lee will be his first challenger.

4. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill [NR]

It was a very busy week for the Women's Tag Team Champions. After hosting Bad Blood on Saturday, Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill went to Raw to accept a challenge from Damage CTRL. From there they hopped into NXT to help Kelani Jordan win a Six-Woman Tag over Fatal Influence, before finally defending their titles on SmackDown against Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson.

3. Cody Rhodes [+4]

The WWE Champion, working alongside his longtime rival Roman Reigns, secured a victory over The Bloodline in the main event of Bad Blood. However, after the show Cody Rhodes endured a parking lot beatdown from his now-former friend Kevin Owens.

2. Imperium [NR]

Criminally kept off the Bad Blood card, Gunther survived the challenge of Sami Zayn to keep hold of his World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of the first 2-hour Raw in 12 years.

1. Jey Uso [+1]

Jey Uso rises back to the top of the Power Rankings after retaining his newly won Intercontinental Championship over Xavier Woods on Raw. But, a post-match spear from Bron Breakker means the former champ has his sights set on reclaiming his gold.
