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. Leon Slater [NR]
After impressing at Saturday Night's Main Event despite a loss to the World Tag Team Champions, TNA's Leon Slater earned a shot at Oba Femi's NXT Men's Championship in Tuesday's Fatal Four-Way.
9. Maxxine Dupri [NR]

On Raw, Stephanie Vaquer's Women's World Championship match versus Raquel Rodriguez was cut short due to interference from Nikki Bella, but that still meant she recorded a DQ win.7. Oba Femi [-5]
At Saturday Night's Main Event, Oba Femi's Champion vs Champion bout with Cody Rhodes was cut short due to interference from Drew McIntyre, ending without a decisive victor.
