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 Vanity Project [NR]

It was a successful week for all members of The Vanity Project, starting at Stand & Deliver by retaining their NXT Tag Team Championships against Los Americanos. Then on Tuesday, Jackson Drake teamed with Blake Monroe in a victory over Tatum Paxley & Shiloh Hill.

9. Rhea Ripley [+1]

Rhea Ripley moves up the rankings after beating Michin & B-Fab on Raw alongside her eternal partner Iyo Sky. Although it will have felt like an awful week after Jade Cargill and her peons attacked and injured Sky in the aftermath.

8. Myles Borne [NR]

Against one of NXT's most storied competitors in Johnny Gargano at Stand & Deliver, Myles Borne proved his worth with a strong defense of his Men's North American Championship.

7. Alexa Bliss [+1]

On SmackDown, Alexa Bliss defeated Bayley one-on-one to continue her team's dominance over Bayley & Lyra Valkyria heading into WrestleMania.

6. Sami Zayn [-4]

Sami Zayn got a measure of revenge after last week's SmackDown by kicking Lil Yachty, but could only watch his rival Trick Williams score a win over Matt Cardona.

5. PENTA [-4]

This is a little harsh as PENTA was on the winning side of a Six-Man Tag on Raw against Los Americanos. But after his string of consecutive Men's Intercontinental Championship defenses this felt like a drop-off.

4. Tatum Paxley [+2]

At Stand & Deliver, Tatum Paxley beat former champ Blake Monroe to retain her Women's North American Championship, although she would be pinned by Monroe in a tag team match the following Tuesday.

3. The Vision [+1]

Austin Theory helped The Vision move up the rankings with his victory over LA Knight on Monday's Raw.

2. Lola Vice [NR]

In the first of two major title changes at Stand & Deliver, Lola Vice bested Jacy Jayne and Kendal Grey to finally capture the NXT Women's Championship after falling short numerous times before.

1. Tony D'Angelo [NR]

However, in Stand & Deliver's main event someone who'd been waiting even longer also won the big one, as Tony D'Angelo outlasted Joe Hendry, Ricky Saints and Ethan Page to become the new NXT Men's Champion.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Sol Ruca - At Stand & Deliver, Sol Ruca got the better of her former partner Zaria, but followed this up with a loss to Izzi Dame on Tuesday.

Izzi Dame - Speaking of which, Izzi Dame bounced back from her recent losses with that win over Sol Ruca on Tuesday's NXT.

Jacob Fatu - On SmackDown, Jacob Fatu picked up a win over Tama Tonga, but was then violently attacked by Drew McIntyre.

Trick Williams - Also on Friday night, Trick Williams pinned Matt Cardona with Men's United States Champion Sami Zayn watching on.

Jade Cargill - In SmackDown's main event, Jade Cargill sent a message to Rhea Ripley by comfortably beating her tag partner Iyo Sky.
