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. Zaria [NR]

Zaria continues to impress after her recent debut, defeating Wren Sinclair on NXT to advance into the upcoming Women's Iron Survivor Challenge match.

9. Bronson Reed [NR]

Bronson Reed showed why he was chosen by The Bloodline to fill their WarGames team, avenging his loss at Crown Jewel with a victory over Seth Rollins on Raw.

7. Chelsea Green [NR]

Chelsea Green advanced in the Women's United States Championship tournament with a win in her Triple Threat match against Bianca Belair & Blair Davenport.

6. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill [-3]

Bianca Belair missed her chance at the United States Championship after being distracted by a backstage attack on Jade Cargill, leaving her tag partner through the windshield of a car.

5. Ridge Holland [NR]

Ridge Holland became the number one contender for the NXT Championship with another win over Andre Chase, simultaneously forcing Chase University to disband.
