WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #478 - The Week Hell Froze Over | Smark Out Moment

WWE Power Rankings Top 10 Superstars This Week: #478 - The Week Hell Froze Over

Posted by Callum Wiggins Saturday, December 2, 2023

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. Santos Escobar [NR]

Now fully detached from the LWO, Santos Escobar enjoyed two victories this week. First he defeated Dragon Lee at Survivor Series, and then followed this up by beating his former stablemate Joaquin Wilde on SmackDown.

9. Diamond Mine [NR]

With consecutive wins over DIY, The New Day and Imperium in Raw's Tag Team Turmoil, The Creed Brothers have earned the right to challenge Judgment Day for the Tag Team Championships.

8. Becky Lynch [NR]

Reconnecting with Charlotte Flair and the other babyfaces at Survivor Series, Becky Lynch picked up the win for her team over Damage CTRL in WarGames.

7. Cody Rhodes [NR]

Leading his crew into battle at Survivor Series, Cody Rhodes scored the decisive pinfall in WarGames over Damian Priest to finish this particular story.

6. Imperium [NR]

While Imperium was unable to win Raw's Tag Team Turmoil, Gunther did continue his record-breaking Intercontinental Championship reign by beating The Miz at Survivor Series.

5. Judgment Day [-4]

In the Survivor Series main event, Judgment Day & Drew McIntyre could not overcome the collective of Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Jey Uso & Randy Orton in WarGames. At least Rhea Ripley retained her Women's World Championship against Zoey Stark.

4. The Family [+2]

The Family enjoyed a successful start to their second reign as NXT Tag Team Champions after defending their titles against Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo on Tuesday.

3. Bianca Belair [NR]

Still on the journey to reclaiming her Women's Championship, Bianca Belair helped her team to victory in WarGames over Damage CTRL, and followed this with a one-on-one win over Kairi Sane on SmackDown.

2. Randy Orton [NR]

Making his triumphant return to WWE after 18 months away, Randy Orton was all over the product this week. First Orton helped the babyfaces beat Judgment Day at Survivor Series, and then he defeated Dominik Mysterio on Raw. Finally, he signed a contract with SmackDown, setting his sights firmly on The Bloodline and Roman Reigns.

1. Seth Rollins [+2]

The World Heavyweight Champion was part of the winning team at Survivor Series WarGames, but Seth Rollins seemingly still has unfinished business with Drew McIntyre based on Raw's results.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Charlotte Flair & Shotzi - An honorable mention for the other victorious members of the Women's WarGames match at Survivor Series.

Sami Zayn & Jey Uso - Similarly, both Sami Zayn & Jey Uso get a mention for their efforts in the Men's WarGames battle.

Chelsea Green & Piper Niven - The Women's Tag Team Champions successfully defended their belts on Monday over Natalya & Tegan Nox.

Bron Breakker - The Iron Survivor Challenge continues to take shape, with Bron Breakker qualifying over Eddy Thorpe on NXT.

Wes Lee - In a four-way of former North American Champions, Wes Lee overcame Johnny Gargano, Bronson Reed and Cameron Grimes to earn the next opportunity against current titleholder Dominik Mysterio.

The Power Rankings Table (since WrestleMania 39)

  1. Judgment Day - 35 weeks (16 weeks at #1)
  2. Seth Rollins - 25 weeks (2 weeks at #1)
  3. Kevin Owens - 18 weeks (4 weeks at #1)
