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. Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss [-4]
The Women's Tag Team Champions were restricted to a backstage interview on SmackDown, where they accepted a challenge from Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, and were confronted by Nia Jax who attempted to sow dissension between the champs.9. Leon Slater [NR]
The latest TNA wrestler to land on the WWE Power Rankings is Leon Slater, after he successfully defended the X-Division Championship against Channing Lorenzo on NXT.8. Seth Rollins [-5]
Probably the last time Seth Rollins will show up on the Power Rankings for a while, it was confirmed that his injury will keep him out for a while, forcing him to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship.7. Jey Uso [NR]
After losing a number one contender's match last week, Jey Uso capitalized on Seth Rollins's injury to win a Last Chance Battle Royal, meaning he will fight CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event.6. AJ Styles & Dragon Lee [NR]
Probably one of the most random pairings of all time, AJ Styles & Dragon Lee surprised many by defeating The Judgment Day's Finn Balor & JD McDonagh to win the World Tag Team Championships.5. Bronson Reed [-4]
Bronson Reed was toppled from the top of the Power Rankings after he and his tag partner Bron Breakker was taken out of Raw's Battle Royal by Roman Reigns & The Usos.4. Dominik Mysterio [+3]
It was a second straight title defense for Dominik Mysterio on Raw, using a hidden low blow to help him beat Rusev and retain his Intercontinental Championship.3. Jacy Jayne [+1]
