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. Bron Breakker [NR]
At Backlash, Bron Breakker competed in the match he likely would have had at WrestleMania against Seth Rollins, defeating his former Vision stablemate.9. Tiffany Stratton [-6]
The Women's United States Champion only featured in a backstage interview on SmackDown, casually awaiting the next woman wanting a title shot.8. Gunther [NR]
By inflicting a first singles defeat on Royce Keys in the SmackDown main event, Gunther earned the right to challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Men's Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event.7. Iyo Sky [NR]
