WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #418 - Pub Rules Before Extreme Rules | 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

Power Ranking WWE wrestlers list roster

10. Matt Riddle [NR]

Although it came at the cost of a post-match beatdown by Judgment Day, Matt Riddle was victorious in Raw's main event over Damian Priest.

9. Bianca Belair [NR]

Building momentum ahead of her Raw Women's Championship match with Bayley at Extreme Rules, Bianca Belair defeated Damage Ctrl member Iyo Sky on Raw.

8. Wes Lee [NR]

Thanks to an unfortunate injury suffered by Tony D'Angelo during the match, Wes Lee overcame The Don on NXT to qualify for the North American Championship Ladder Match at Halloween Havoc.

7. Drew McIntyre [NR]

After having his match with Austin Theory on SmackDown end in disqualification due to interference by Alpha Academy, Drew McIntyre teamed with Kevin Owens & Johnny Gargano on SmackDown to defeat all three in a Six-Man Tag.

Continuing on from the prior entry, Johnny Gargano teamed with Kevin Owens on Raw to beat Alpha Academy, and then added Drew McIntyre to the party to defeat them again as well as Austin Theory on SmackDown.

The final part of this triumvirate, Kevin Owens maintained his recent strong form with his and Johnny Gargano's tag victory over Alpha Academy, before popping up on SmackDown to beat the Academy and Austin Theory alongside Gargano and Drew McIntyre.

Baseball bat in hand, SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan took the fight to Ronda Rousey on Friday, but did find herself falling second-best to her unarmed challenger.

A week off for the relentless United States Champion Bobby Lashley this week, only turning up to give Matt Riddle a pep talk ahead of his upcoming match with Seth Rollins.
