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. Ethan Page [NR]

In the main event of Tuesday's NXT, Ethan Page defeated Je'Von Evans and Wes Lee to earn an immediate rematch with Trick Williams for the NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc.

9. Trick Williams [-4]

Following the main event of NXT, Trick Williams learned he would be defending his NXT Championship against Ethan Page in a Devil's Playground match, before he was taken down by a cheap shot from his challenger.

8. The War Raiders [NR]

Back from their respective long-term injuries, The War Raiders looked as dominant as ever on Raw in their victory over Alpha Academy, advancing in the tournament to crown contenders for the World Tag Team Championships.

7. Motor City Machine Guns [NR]

A debut that had been rumored for months finally happened on Friday's SmackDown, as TNA legends The Motor City Machine Guns arrived and beat both A-Town Down Under and Los Garzas.

6. DIYx [NR]

The Motor City Machine Guns' victory means they will battle DIY for the right to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championships, as DIY overcame The Street Profits and Pretty Deadly to advance in SmackDown's own tag team tournament.

5. Cody Rhodes [-2]

With a Crown Jewel clash with Gunther on the horizon, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has focused on promos this week, having a direct exchange with the World Heavyweight Champion on Raw and then speaking solo on SmackDown.

4. Imperium [-2]

As noted above, the build towards the champion vs champion clash at Crown Jewel was centered around words this week, with Gunther proclaiming Cody Rhodes the secondary of WWE's world champions.

3. Nia Jax [+3]

Although Nia Jax was unsuccessful in her attempts to get Tiffany Stratton to cash in on a fallen Liv Morgan on Raw, the WWE Women's Champion was victorious on SmackDown, teaming with Candice LeRae to defeat Bayley & Naomi.

2. Jey Uso [-1]

Jey Uso drops from top spot due to no in-ring action this week. However, he has suddenly become a big part of the Bloodline story once again, being approached by Jimmy Uso for his help on Raw, and then getting in the face of Solo Sikoa on SmackDown.

1. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill [+3]

Another week, another successful Women's Tag Team Championship defense for Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, this time overcoming Damage CTRL on Raw thanks to an unanticipated assist from Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson in the crowd.
