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. Damien Priest & Rhea Ripley [NR]

In the main event of this week's SmackDown, the historically unstoppable duo of Damien Priest & Rhea Ripley maintained that reputation with a victory over Aleister Black & Zelina Vega.

9. Ethan Page [NR]

Ethan Page's long reign as Men's North American Champion survived its latest challenge at NXT Deadline, as he defeated AAA's Mr Iguana.

8. Stephanie Vaquer [-5]

Stephanie Vaquer falls down the rankings due to no in-ring action this week, although she confronted the next challenger for her Women's World Championship in the imposing form of Raquel Rodriguez.

7. Je'Von Evans [NR]

It was a case that two out of three ain't bad for Je'Von Evans this week. On the plus side, Evans won the Men's Iron Survivor Match at NXT Deadline, and beat The Miz in a singles match on SmackDown. However, his pursuit of the NXT Championship hit a roadblock on Tuesday, but more on that later…

6. Gunther [-4]

Gunther took a week off after winning the Last Time is Now Tournament, setting the stage for his historic clash with John Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event.

5. AJ Styles & Dragon Lee [+4]

The World Tag Team Champions completed their second title defense in as many weeks on Raw, with AJ Styles & Dragon Lee overcoming The War Raiders.

4. Kendal Grey [+3]

In a surprising outcome, the Evolve Women's Champion Kendal Grey outscored Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan, Sol Ruca and Lola Vice to win the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge, earning a title match with NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne.

3. The Vision [+2]

The Raw main event saw The Vision's newest member, Logan Paul, win a rare television match against LA Knight, before the entire faction took Knight out in the parking lot.

2. Oba Femi [NR]

For the second time, Oba Femi is the NXT Men's Champion after he beat the man who took his title in the first place, Ricky Saints, at Deadline. Then on the following episode on Tuesday, Femi enjoyed the first defense of his second reign over Je'Von Evans.

1. Ilja Dragunov [No Change]

After over a month of build-up, Ilja Dragunov finally faced Tommaso Ciampa for the United States Championship on SmackDown, with Dragunov emerging on top as per usual.
