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. Iyo Sky [NR]

Although she and Kairi Sane failed to capture the Women's Tag Team Championships at Crown Jewel, Iyo Sky withstood a 15-Woman Battle Royal on Raw to earn the next opportunity at Liv Morgan's Women's World Championship.

9. The War Raiders [+1]

The War Raiders continued to gain momentum ahead of their World Tag Team Championship match with Judgment Day with a victory over The New Day on Raw.

8. LA Knight [NR]

Stuck between the forever-feuding pair of Carmelo Hayes and Andrade, LA Knight pinned the former to retain his United States Championship at Crown Jewel.

7. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill [NR]

The dominant Women's Tag Team Champions successfully defended their titles at Crown Jewel against three challenging teams. While neither Bianca Belair nor Jade Cargill won Raw's Battle Royal, they beat Nia Jax & Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown.

6. Judgment Day [+3]

Liv Morgan capitalized on distractions by Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriguez and Dominik Mysterio to topple Nia Jax and become the first-ever Women's Crown Jewel Champion.

5. The Family [+1]

In a battle of Italian accents, Tony D'Angelo retained his North American Championship over ECW alumni Nunzio at NXT 2300.

4. Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer [+1]

Combining forces with Zaria, Kelani Jordan & Jordynne Grace, Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer were victorious in NXT 2300's main event over Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade & Fatal Influence.

3. Motor City Machine Guns [-1]

Due to outside forces, The Motor City Machine Guns take a slight dip in the Power Rankings despite their win over A-Town Down Under on SmackDown.

2. Trick Williams [-1]

Similarly, Trick Williams also tumbles a bit regardless of his tag team win alongside Bubba Ray Dudley over Ethan Page & Ridge Holland.

1. Cody Rhodes [+3]

That's because WWE Champion Cody Rhodes rose back to the top of this week's Power Rankings thanks to his victory over World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at Crown Jewel, netting him the Crown Jewel Championship and custom ring.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

The Bloodline - In Crown Jewel's opening match, The New Bloodline beat The OG Bloodline, with Solo Sikoa getting a rare pin on Roman Reigns.

Seth Rollins - It took 3 Stomps, but Seth Rollins slayed Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel, but couldn't follow that up with a win in Raw's number one contender's match.

Damian Priest - That honor was reserved for Damian Priest, who overcame Seth Rollins, Dominik Mysterio and Sheamus to earn the next shot at Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship.

Zaria - In NXT's 10-Woman Tag Match, it was Zaria who sealed the victory for her team, pinning NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez in the process.

Bayley - On SmackDown, Bayley defeated the recent thorn in her side Candice LeRae in singles competition.
