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. Jey Uso [NR]

The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments bookended this week's episodes of Raw and SmackDown. On the blue brand, Jey Uso showed that The Bloodline and his singles push simply will not die, as he advanced over Royce Keys, LA Knight and Finn Balor.

9. Liv Morgan [NR]

While it is ridiculous that the Women's World Champion is competing in a tournament to earn a title shot at her own belt, Liv Morgan did show why she's champ by defeating Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and Chelsea Green on Raw.

8. Charlotte Flair [NR]

Liv Morgan's opponent in her Queen of the Ring semi-final will be Charlotte Flair after the multi-time champion overcame Jade Cargill, Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria in the SmackDown opener.

7. Je'Von Evans [NR]

Probably the most surprising result of the King of the Ring qualifiers, Je'Von Evans capitalized on some interference in his Raw main event against Seth Rollins, Ricky Saints and Talla Tonga to advance into a semi-final with Jey Uso.

6. Rhea Ripley [-3]

Rhea Ripley was absent from SmackDown this week, as reports of a knee injury picked up during the tour of Italy may put her WWE Women's Championship reign in jeopardy.

5. Zaria [NR]

After years of trying, Zaria finally holds gold in NXT. She captured the Women's North American Championship in Tuesday's main event, pinning Tatum Paxley.

4. Cody Rhodes [-2]

Before he battles Gunther once again for the WWE Men's Championship on next week's SmackDown, Cody Rhodes had an in-ring confrontation with Sami Zayn that ended in a pair of slaps.

3. Roman Reigns [-2]

With Jacob Fatu now firmly under his thumb, Roman Reigns is focused on restoring The Bloodline to its former glory, with Jey Uso chasing the King of the Ring crown and Fatu sent to bring Solo Sikoa back into the fold.

2. PENTA [+5]

Always the fighting champion, PENTA put his Men's Intercontinental Championship on the line on Raw against another iconic luchador in Rey Mysterio, and once again retained it.

1. Sol Ruca [+3]

Meanwhile the new Women's Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca had her first title defense on Raw, achieving a successful defense against Lyra Valkyria. However, she fell at the first hurdle in the Queen of the Ring tournament thanks to Charlotte Flair.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Fraxiom - In what has become an increasingly rare sight, Fraxiom won a tag team match on NXT against Noam Dar & Romeo Moreno.

NARAKU - The number one contender's match for Tony D'Angelo's NXT Men's Championship saw NARAKU overcome Mason Rook.

Kendal Grey - Tuesday also determined Lola Vice's next challenger for the NXT Women's Championship, with Kendal Grey defeating Kelani Jordan.

Rey Fenix - The AAA Cruiserweight Champion successfully defended his title on SmackDown over Axiom.

Michin & B-Fab - Stepping out from Jade Cargill's considerable shadow for a change, Michin & B-Fab picked up a win against Tiffany Stratton & Chelsea Green on SmackDown.
