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. Tatum Paxley [NR]

In NXT's main event Battle Royal, Tatum Paxley outlasted 19 other women from NXT and TNA to earn the right to challenge Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women's Championship at Halloween Havoc.

9. CM Punk [NR]

CM Punk also earned a title opportunity this week, beating LA Knight and Jey Uso in a Triple Threat on Raw to become top contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. However, right now it's very unclear who he will fight for that title…

8. Rhea Ripley [NR]

There were back-to-back victories for Rhea Ripley this week in her homeland of Australia. First, she joined forces with Iyo Sky to defeat The Kabuki Warriors at Crown Jewel. Then, Ripley switched to a singles victory over Kairi Sane on the following edition of Raw.

7. Dominik Mysterio [NR]

Dominik Mysterio prolonged his Intercontinental Championship reign on Raw after he knocked PENTA out with the ring bell behind the referee's back.

6. Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss [NR]

The Women's Tag Team Champions also maintained their hold on the gold on SmackDown with a spirited victory over ZaRuca.

5. Ilja Dragunov [NR]

One championship did change hands this week, as Sami Zayn's United States Championship Open Challenge came to a shuddering halt. Ilja Dragunov returned after many months out through injury and captured the title on his first night back.

4. Jacy Jayne [-3]

The NXT Women's Champion welcomed Lainey Reid into Fatal Influence and watched on as Tatum Paxley earned a shot at her title.

3. Seth Rollins [NR]

Seth Rollins won his Champion vs Champion match at Crown Jewel against Cody Rhodes. However, one misplaced headbutt could cost him a lot more than that, as Rollins's apparent arm injury saw him ousted from The Vision and may see him stripped of his World Heavyweight Championship.

2. Stephanie Vaquer [+6]

In the other Crown Jewel Championship match, Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer got the better of the WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton.

1. Bronson Reed [+2]

It was a big few days for Bronson Reed, starting with a defining win over Roman Reigns in their Last Man Standing match at Crown Jewel. Reed followed this by beating Jimmy Uso on Raw, and helping his teammate Bron Breakker take out Seth Rollins at the end of the show.
