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. Oba Femi [NR]

Oba Femi left this week's NXT still in possession of the North American Championship after defeating fellow newcomer Lexis King.

9. Lyra Valkyria [NR]

When Lyra Valkyria's scheduled NXT Women's Championship defense was derailed due to an unfortunate injury to Shotzi, she retained her title in an impromptu bout with Lash Legend.

8. Imperium [NR]

In the main event of Monday's Raw, Gunther continued his record-breaking reign as Intercontinental Champion by beating Jey Uso, thanks in part to some timely interference by Jimmy Uso.

7. Cody Rhodes [-5]

Not the greatest week for the upcoming WrestleMania main eventer, as Cody Rhodes fell to Drew McIntyre on Raw, before having a nothing appearance on the Grayson Waller Experience at Elimination Chamber.

6. Tiffany Stratton [-1]

Tiffany Stratton continued her fine start to life on SmackDown with a victory over Liv Morgan on Friday. However, despite having the universal backing of the Perth audience, Stratton could not achieve the same feat in the Elimination Chamber.

5. The Wolf Dogs [-4]

The new NXT Tag Team Champions were not in action this week, but this Tuesday's show demonstrated that The Wolf Dogs have a target on their back from the tag division.

4. Becky Lynch [NR]

In a result that shocked practically no one, Becky Lynch went coast-to-coast in the Elimination Chamber, earning the right to challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania.

3. Drew McIntyre [NR]

Meanwhile in the Men's Elimination Chamber match, Drew McIntyre withstood all opponents, pinning Randy Orton to cement a World Championship match at WrestleMania.

2. Damage CTRL [+1]

While Iyo Sky was resting at home, The Kabuki Warriors of Asuka & Kairi Sane capably defended their Women's Tag Team Championships on the Elimination Chamber kickoff show against Candice Lerae & Indi Hartwell.

1. Judgment Day [NR]

A hugely successful week for the Judgment Day, capped off by a pair of big wins at Elimination Chamber: Perth.

Then, in the main event of the show, Rhea Ripley outfought Nia Jax to keep hold of her Women's World Championship.
