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. Bayley [NR]
Bayley gets her first spot on the Power Rankings right at the end of the year thanks to her victory on Raw over Roxanne Perez, due in no small part to some disharmony among the Judgment Day women.9. Asuka [NR]
Asuka scored a rare victory over Rhea Ripley on Raw thanks to interference from her partner Kairi Sane, while Iyo Sky's back injury prevented her from intervening.8. Giulia & Kiana James [NR]
On SmackDown, Giulia followed up her recent victory over Alba Fyre by pinning the Women's United States Champion Chelsea Green in a tag team match alongside her business manager Kiana James.7. Gunther [-2]
