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:

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. Braun Strowman [NR]

After a struggle to find a qualifying match for Raw Survivor Series team, Braun Strowman sealed his spot at the PPV by defeating his soon-to-be teammates Sheamus and Keith Lee in a Triple Threat.

9. The New Day [-2]

The road to Survivor Series for The New Day has suddenly gotten a little bumpy, as Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods were beaten by the Hurt Business' Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin on Raw.

8. Drew McIntyre [NR]

While he's no longer WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre is still carrying the banner of Raw's most dominant babyface. On Monday night, McIntyre overcame the odds of a Handicap Match against both The Miz & John Morrison.

7. Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax [NR]

Some more in-fighting between Survivor Series teammates on Raw, as Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax successfully defended their Women's Tag Team Championships from the challenge of Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke. Nia Jax followed this up with a quick squash over Lana later in the night.

6. Randy Orton [-1]

Randy Orton continues to find threats from all sides for his WWE Championship. Both Drew McIntyre and Bray Wyatt have set their sights on The Viper, while he was also almost cashed-in on by The Miz on this week's edition of Raw.

5. AJ Styles [-1]

Becoming the self-appointed Team Raw Captain on Monday's show, AJ Styles watched from commentary as the other members of his team battled each other, while he desperately attempted to form some kind of team cohesion.

4. Asuka [-1]

The Raw Women's Champion continues to find herself confined to the sidelines, with no challenger in sight or any focus on her upcoming Survivor Series clash with SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks.

3. Sasha Banks [+3]

Speaking of Sasha Banks, The Boss retained her SmackDown Women's Championship in a rematch with Bayley on Friday night. Having dispatched of her former best friend for the second time, Banks will be moving onto new challenges, especially after Carmella attacked her post-match.

2. Roman Reigns [-1]

Roman Reigns continued to play puppet master on SmackDown with Jey Uso. He browbeat his cousin about Kevin Owens disrespecting their bloodline on Friday, leading to Uso scoring a victory over him in the main event.

1. The Hurt Business [+1]

A pretty flawless week for The Hurt Business all things considered. Bobby Lashley flattened R-Truth, and then allowed Drew Gulak to beat him for the 24/7 Championship. Then Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin defeated Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day in a non-title match.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Tommaso Ciampa - Tommaso Ciampa was victorious in NXT's main event this week, beating Velveteen Dream and his pesky cast.

King Corbin - Taking advantage of the never-ending Mysterio family drama, King Corbin defeated Rey Mysterio to qualify for SmackDown's Survivor Series team.

The Riott Squad - Another person set for Survivor Series is Ruby Riott, who capitalized in a dumb mistake by Natalya to win a Triple Threat over her and Zelina Vega.
