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?

This is the final Power Rankings of the 2023/2024 season, with WrestleMania XL marking the start of the next campaign. As such, I am pleased to announce that, with 45 weeks in the Top Ten and an overwhelming 17 weeks at #1, The Judgment Day dominated this year's Power Rankings.

Coming a fair distance behind Raw's premier faction in the runner-up positions were Seth Rollins (32 weeks), Damage CTRL (30 weeks) and Legada Del Fantasma (27 weeks).

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. The Wolf Dogs [-6]

The Wolf Dogs watched on this week on NXT as Axiom & Nathan Frazer earned the right to challenge them one more time for the NXT Tag Team Championships at Stand & Deliver.

9. A-Town Down Under [-7]

A-Town Down Under lost the chance to pick up some last-minute momentum before WrestleMania after they fell to defeat by The New Catch Republic on SmackDown.

8. Jey Uso [+1]

Albeit by disqualification, Jey Uso defeated his younger brother Solo Sikoa on SmackDown and, thanks to Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, survived a beatdown by Sikoa and Jimmy Uso.

7. Ricochet [+1]

Ricochet continues to score victories on Raw, beating the much larger Ivar to maintain his winning run. However, his recent prowess in singles matches did not translate to the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, as Ricochet came up short.

6. Axiom & Nathan Frazer [NR]

After failing to defeat The Wolf Dogs in their final outings against them, Axiom & Nathan Frazer will have one more chance to dethrone the NXT Tag Team Champions at Stand & Deliver with their victory over The Good Brothers and the LWO.

5. Legada Del Fantasma [+2]

Elektra Lopez was victorious over Zelina Vega on SmackDown in the latest iteration of the LWO and Legada Del Fantasma feud. However, it ended badly for LDF as Andrade pledged his allegiance to the LWO.

4. Bronson Reed [NR]

After another week of withstanding Sami Zayn on Raw, Bronson Reed arrived as one of the favorites in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal. Reed duly lived up to the hype, last eliminating Ivar to win the trophy.

3. Judgment Day [+3]

With their WWE Tag Team Championships in serious jeopardy at WrestleMania, Judgment Day gained some much-needed momentum on Raw by beating DIY & The New Day in an Eight-Man Tag.

2. New Catch Republic [+1]

One of the teams striving to take the Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania is New Catch Republic, and they gave themselves a springboard into the weekend by defeating A-Town Down Under on SmackDown.

1. Damage CTRL [No Change]

Seemingly on a hiding to nothing against Bianca Belair, Naomi & Jade Cargill at WrestleMania, at least Damage CTRL get to finish this season of the Power Rankings in pole position thanks to their win over Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark & Tegan Nox on Raw.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Maxxine Dupri & Ivy Nile - The babyfaces scored a measure of revenge against Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell on Raw by winning their tag team bout.

Jacy Jayne - Before their Six-Woman Tag at Stand & Deliver, Jacy Jayne gave her team the upper-hand with her win over Fallon Henley.

Lexis King - For the second straight time, Lexis King got the better of Von Wagner in their clash on NXT.

Oba Femi - Before he defends the North American Championship at Stand & Deliver, Oba Femi picked up a victory over Joe Gacy by referee stoppage on NXT.

Sol Ruca - Getting some sweet revenge after several months on the sidelines, Sol Ruca overcame her tormentor Blair Davenport on NXT.

The Power Rankings Table (since WrestleMania 39)

1. Judgment Day - 45 weeks (17 weeks at #1)
2. Seth Rollins - 32 weeks (3 weeks at #1)
