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. Sol Ruca [NR]
A pretty positive week for Sol Ruca started with her successfully defending her Women's North American Championship against Izzi Dame at Great American Bash. And although she and Zaria couldn't capture the Women's Tag Team Championships at Evolution, they did score a win on NXT alongside Masha Slamovich over Fatal Influence.9. Oba Femi [NR]
In a predictable outcome, Oba Femi continued his long reign as NXT Champion at the expense of Yoshiki Inamura at the Great American Bash, setting him on a collision course with Josh Briggs.8. Jacy Jayne [NR]
Thanks to Blake Monroe's 'shocking' turn on Jordynne Grace, Jacy Jayne walked out of Evolution still the NXT Women's Champion against all odds. But, Jayne was also pinned twice this week - once at the Great American Bash by Monroe, the second on Tuesday's NXT by Masha Slamovich.7. Stephanie Vaquer [NR]
By winning the Battle Royal at Evolution, Stephanie Vaquer earned the right to challenge for the Women's World Championship at Clash in Paris. While she waits for that event, she's entered a feud with the Secret Hervice, beating Alba Fyre on SmackDown.6. Becky Lynch [NR]
In the best-built match leading into Evolution, Becky Lynch survived a testing Triple Threat against Lyra Valkyria and Bayley to maintain a firm grip on her Women's Intercontinental Championship.5. Gunther [NR]
Gunther carried Goldberg to a respectable retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event, overcoming the aging veteran and partisan Atlanta crowd to retain his World Heavyweight Championship.4. Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguezl [NR]
The Women's Tag Team Champions survived the combined threats of Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, Zaruca and The Kabuki Warriors at Evolution, and followed it up with a typical tag victory over The Kabuki Warriors on Raw.3. Jade Cargill [+1]
Jade Cargill put a rubber stamp on her long rivalry with Naomi at Evolution, defeating her in a No Holds Barred match to build momentum for her title match at SummerSlam.2. Naomi [NR]
But it was Naomi with the widest smile at the end of Evolution, as she cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase at the end of the main event to steal the Women's World Championship away from Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley.1. Tiffany Stratton [+7]
In what proved to be the shortest match at Evolution, Tiffany Stratton preserved her reign as WWE Women's Champion over the legendary Trish Stratus.HONORABLE MENTIONS
Ethan Page - At Great American Bash, Ethan Page retained his North American Championship against Ricky Saints in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
Blake Monroe - After pinning the NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne in her debut match at Great American Bash, Blake Monroe then helped her retain the title at Evolution over Jordynne Grace.
Solo Sikoa - Saturday Night's Main Event saw Solo Sikoa defeat his brother Jimmy Uso to defend his United States Championship.
CM Punk - In Raw's World Heavyweight Championship Gauntlet, CM Punk took advantage of a tired Bron Breakker to earn the title match with Gunther at SummerSlam.
