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. The Irresistible Forces [No Change]

For the second straight week, The Irresistible Forces retained their Women's Tag Team Championships via disqualification, as Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss interfered in their match against The Bella Twins, just like how The Bella Twins interfered in their match last week.

9. Joe Hendry [-6]

The NXT Men's Champion Joe Hendry finds himself the target of three potential challengers, as Ricky Saints, Ethan Page and Tony D'Angelo are chasing his gold.

8. AJ Lee [NR]

AJ Lee forced Bayley to submit on Raw to successfully defend her Women's Intercontinental Championship, before suffering a post-match attack by a vengeful Becky Lynch.

7. Damian Priest & R-Truth [NR]

Something I wouldn't have expected to write on the Power Rankings this year, but Damian Priest & R-Truth are the new WWE Tag Team Champions. They defeated The MFTs on SmackDown after they were distracted by The Wyatt Sicks.

6. Wren Sinclair [+3]

Wren Sinclair captured her first gold in WWE on Tuesday's NXT, rapidly beating Fallon Henley to become the Women's Speed Champion.

5. Myles Borne [-3]

No in-ring action for Myles Borne this week, but he was told that his next challenger for the Men's North American Championship will be determined in a Gauntlet Match.

4. Jacy Jayne [NR]

Jacy Jayne will walk into Stand & Deliver still the NXT Women's Champion after some assistance from her Fatal Influence cohorts ensured that she overcame Sol Ruca and Zaria in Tuesday's Triple Threat match.

3. Carmelo Hayes [+4]

The Men's United States Championship Open Challenge reopened on Friday's SmackDown, as Ilja Dragunov finally stepped up to challenge Carmelo Hayes again, only to be outmatched by the defending champion.

2. Tatum Paxley [+3]

Drawing a line under her long feud with Izzi Dame, Tatum Paxley beat her former partner inside a Steel Cage to retain the Women's North American Championship.

1. PENTA [No Change]

Proving to be a fighting champion, PENTA once again successfully defended his Men's Intercontinental Championship on Raw, this time against Dragon Lee.
