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. Oba Femi [-5]
Oba Femi had both verbal and physical exchanges with Jey Uso across Raw and SmackDown leading into their King of the Ring final at Night of Champions.9. Jade Cargill, Michin & B-Fab [NR]
The Takeover trio saw plenty of success on SmackDown, starting with Michin & B-Fab's tag team victory over Tiffany Stratton & Alexa Bliss. Then later in the show, Jade Cargill built momentum for her Women's United States Championship challenge by beating Chelsea Green.8. Damian Priest & R-Truth [-4]
The WWE Tag Team Champions drop down the rankings as they await which of the two or three other teams on SmackDown will be the next ones to step up.7. Rey Fenix [NR]
On SmackDown, Rey Fenix continued his reign as the AAA Cruiserweight Champion by defeating Fraxiom's Nathan Frazer.6. Jey Uso [-3]
As discussed earlier, Jey Uso spent the week building up to his King of the Ring final against Oba Femi at Night of Champions.5. Aaron Rourke [NR]
It was a rare sight on NXT as the Evolve Men's Championship was on the line, with champion Aaron Rourke retaining the title over the upstart Tristan Angels.4. Liv Morgan [-2]
Similar to Jey Uso and Oba Femi, Liv Morgan exchanged words with Iyo Sky before she bids to become the first active World Champion to win either King or Queen of the Ring.3. Cody Rhodes [-2]
Cody Rhodes wrapped up SmackDown with a brawl among both his Night of Champions challengers, Gunther and Sami Zayn, as well as the King of the Ring contenders Oba Femi and Jey Uso.2. The Street Profits [NR]
Thanks to some help from Seth Rollins's interference against Bron Breakker, The Street Profits became World Tag Team Champions at the expense of The Vision.1. Paige & Brie Bella [NR]
If the Power Rankings was based on match quality, Paige & Brie Bella wouldn't get anywhere near this list. But it's based on results, and there they reign supreme. They defended the Women's Tag Team Championships on Raw against the now defunct team of Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, while on SmackDown Paige rolled-up Jacy Jayne.HONORABLE MENTIONS
Ethan Page - Maintaining his Men's Intercontinental Championship aspirations, Ethan Page overcame Dragon Lee on Raw.
LA Knight - Also on Raw, LA Knight defeated the less successful Jimmy Uso in singles action.
Arianna Grace - At Great American Bash, Arianna Grace will challenge Wren Sinclair for the Women's Speed Championship after beating Izzi Dame.
Danhausen & Matt Cardona - In an utterly embarrassing excuse of a match, Danhausen used his powers to help his team beat Los Garzas on SmackDown.
Giulia - The "epic" story between Giulia and Kiana James ended just like that on SmackDown, with Giulia's victory tinged by a post-match attack by Blake Monroe.
