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. Myles Borne [NR]
Amid the shaking up of the NXT roster, Myles Borne remained the Men's North American Champion with his victory over DarkState's Saquon Shugars on Tuesday. However, Borne was then distracted by Tristan Angels and blindsided by Cam Hendrix.9. Damien Priest & R-Truth [NR]
Damien Priest & R-Truth's "Cinderella" run as WWE Tag Team Champions has not hit midnight yet, as they retained over Fraxiom on SmackDown. But a post-match attack by Talla Tonga suggests the MFTs haven't given up on reclaiming that gold.8. Oba Femi [+1]
Oba Femi followed up his conquering of Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania with a dominant win over Grayson Waller on Raw, announcing his own open challenge.7. Brie Bella & Paige [+3]
The thrown-together WWE Tag Team Champions survived their first test on SmackDown, retaining their titles against the former champs The Irresistible Forces.6. Liv Morgan [-3]

In a non-title bout on Raw, Men's Intercontinental Champion PENTA overcame Rusev, despite attempts at interference by Ethan Page.4. Roman Reigns [-2]
Still appearing on Raw as he promised (for now), Roman Reigns was left short of breath by Jacob Fatu's Tongan Death Grip, setting up his first World Heavyweight Championship defense at Backlash.3. Rhea Ripley [-2]
Rhea Ripley tried to help Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss even the odds against Fatal Influence on SmackDown, but ended up being shoved towards Flair to renew their seeds of distrust.2. Cody Rhodes [+2]
The WWE Men's Champion Cody Rhodes faced a familiar face from his past on SmackDown in the form of the main roster debutant Ricky Saints, pulling out the win before being choked out by a title-chasing Gunther.1. Becky Lynch [+4]
