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. The War Raiders [NR]

The War Raiders continued their winning return to Raw on Monday's show, defeating The New Day and LWO in a Triple Threat Tag to become the number one contenders for the World Tag Team Championships.

9. The Judgment Day [NR]

As Finn Balor & JD McDonagh prepare to defend their tag titles against War Raiders, their fellow Judgment Day partners enjoyed a strong week. Dominik Mysterio scored a shock win over Damian Priest on Raw, while Liv Morgan hopped over to SmackDown to beat Tiffany Stratton.

8. Axiom & Nathan Frazer [NR]

In the main event of this week's NXT, Axiom & Nathan Frazer continued their reign as NXT Tag Team Champions with a successful defense against Je'Von Evans & Cedric Alexander.

7. Fallon Henley [NR]

Halloween Havoc's Gauntlet Match for the Women's North American Championship proved too much for Kelani Jordan. After already beating Jazmyn Nyx and Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley took advantage of the tired champion to win her first-ever singles title.

6. The Family [NR]

It was a case of strength in numbers in the Tables, Ladders & Scares match at Halloween Havoc, as The Family united to overpower Oba Femi and allow Tony D'Angelo to retain his North American Championship.

Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer's chemistry and power were enough to defeat the reunited duo of Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade at Halloween Havoc, putting them on the path to a future NXT Championship opportunity.

Before he battles Gunther for the Crown Jewel Championship in Saudi Arabia, Cody Rhodes teamed with Randy Orton to beat him and Ludwig Kaiser on the go-home SmackDown.
