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. Diamond Mine [NR]

Diamond Mine was all over NXT 2.0 this week, and mostly saw success. The Creed Brothers overcame Brooks Jensen & Josh Briggs to advance in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, while Ivy Nile beat Kay Lee Ray. However, Roderick Strong failed to win the main event against 'Gunther'.

9. Alpha Academy [-5]

After capturing the Raw Tag Team Championships last week, Alpha Academy had a physical altercation with former champs RK-Bro on this week's episode of Raw.

8. Zelina Vega & Carmella [-5]

Now with no challengers on the horizon for their Women's Tag Team Championships, Zelina Vega & Carmella spent Raw mocking the now-feuding Rhea Ripley and Nikki ASH.

7. Becky Lynch [+1]

Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch was mostly a bystander as she watched Doudrop win their tag match over Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan on Monday.

6. Kevin Owens [NR]

A pair of wins over champions for Kevin Owens this week. On Raw, Owens beat the unbeaten United States Champion Damian Priest in a championship contender's match. Then he teamed with Seth Rollins to beat The Usos by DQ on SmackDown.

5. The Viking Raiders [+4]

The Viking Raiders followed becoming top contenders to the SmackDown Tag Team Champions last week by defeating Los Lotharios two-on-two on Friday's show.

4. The Usos [-2]

Due to the interference of their cousin Roman Reigns, The Usos suffered a DQ loss to Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens in SmackDown's main event.

3. Doudrop [+4]

Doudrop teamed with Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch, her upcoming Royal Rumble opponent, to victory over Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan.

2. Brock Lesnar [-1]

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar was missing from television this week, as he prepares for his battle with Bobby Lashley at Royal Rumble.

1. The Hurt Business [+4]

While it was only a DQ victory, Bobby Lashley rises to the top of the Power Rankings with his win over Seth Rollins in the Raw main event.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Austin Theory - Spurred on by Vince McMahon's threats, Austin Theory overcame Finn Balor on Monday's Raw.

Malik Blade & Edris Enofe - This newly formed team scored a shock win over Legado del Fantasma in the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Imperium - Despite this segment ending with the baffling decision to change WALTER's name to Gunther, at least it came after he beat Roderick Strong in NXT 2.0's main event.

Aliyah - A second straight win over Natalya for Aliyah on SmackDown, albeit through a DQ.

Sheamus - Sheamus firmly has Ricochet's number, once again beating the high-flyer on SmackDown.
