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. Damian Priest [NR]

Now with Aleister Black in his rear-view mirror, Damian Priest has set his sights on championship gold, winning his qualifying match for Saturday Night's Main Event against Solo Sikoa.

9. Becky Lynch [-3]

The newly crowned Women's Intercontinental Champion cut a promo after her victory last week, and it was announced that her first title defense will be next week against the former champion Maxxine Dupri.

8. Jasper Troy [NR]

Jasper Troy raced his way to victory over Tavion Heights on NXT to retain his Men's Speed Championship.

7. Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky [-2]

The new Women's Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky invited all challengers in a promo segment on Raw, setting up a number one contender's match later in the show.

6. Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez [NR]

And in that number one contender's match, The Judgment Day duo of Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez overcame both The Kabuki Warriors and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, earning their shot at the Women's Tag Team Championships.

5. Stacks [NR]

In the second title match on NXT this week, Stacks capitalized on interference from his fiancee Arianna Grace to retain the TNA International Championship over Shiloh Hill.

4. CM Punk [No Change]

CM Punk reset after his successful defense against Bron Breakker last week, and was confronted by his next challenger, Finn Balor, who Punk will face next week in Belfast.

3. Giulia [-1]

Although Giulia is in great form in singles matches, the Women's United States Champion suffered a defeat when teaming with Kiana James against Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss on SmackDown.

2. Drew McIntyre [+1]

For the first time, Drew McIntyre entered a crowded SmackDown show holding the WWE Championship. McIntyre revelled in his "win" over Cody Rhodes last week, and set his sights on his first defense at the Royal Rumble.

1. Carmelo Hayes [No Change]

Another week, another open challenge, another win for the Men's United States Champion, with Carmelo Hayes this time beating TNA's Leon Slater on SmackDown.
