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 one's self, 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:




Just a few weeks after her return from hiatus, Naomi has the SmackDown Women's Championship firmly in her sights. She defeated Carmella on Friday night to earn a title shot against Bayley at Super ShowDown.


While Charlotte Flair made a statement at NXT Takeover Portland by officially challenging Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania and attacking her rival, a lack of official in-ring action continues her slide down the rankings.


An impressive victory by Keith Lee over his never-ending rival Dominik Dijakovic in the opener of NXT Takeover Portland ensured he remains North American Champion, and he followed this with a squash win over Kona Reeves on Wednesday night.


Becky Lynch called out Shanyna Baszler following The Queen of Spades' vicious attack last week, but this simply led to a confrontation through the titantron for the time being.


Little over a month after they first started teaming together, and The Broserweights are now top of the mountain in the NXT tag team division. The odd couple combination defeated The Undisputed Era to capture the championships at Takeover Portland, then overcame Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch on Wednesday.


While it was far from a perfect week for The Undisputed Era, with Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish losing their Tag Team Championships to The Broserweights, and Roderick Strong falling to the returning Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole pulled out the most important victory, retaining his NXT Championship over Tommaso Ciampa at Takeover Portland.


After months of manhandling Kevin Owens' crew, Buddy Murphy & AOP finally tasted defeat to one of Owens' tandems, albeit by disqualification. After the match Rollins, Murphy & AOP were sent packing thanks to The Street Profits.


While not nearly as impressive as last week's win over Bobby Lashley, Ricochet kept the ball rolling on his way to his WWE Championship match with Brock Lesnar by defeating Karl Anderson on Raw.


Speaking of people preparing for a WWE Championship match on the horizon, Drew McIntyre kept up his march to WrestleMania with a win over MVP on Monday night.


Rhea Ripley returns to the top of the Power Rankings after beating Bianca Belair in their NXT Women's Championship match at Takeover Portland. Now, she has Charlotte Flair firmly in her sights at WrestleMania.
