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]
At The Great American Bash, Myles Borne fought his former NQCC stablemate Tavion Heights, emerging victorious and still in possession of the Men's North American Championship.9. Zaria [NR]
The Women's North American Championship also stayed with the current champ, as Zaria once again defeated the former champ Tatum Paxley at The Great American Bash.8. Tiffany Stratton [NR]
Over on Night of Champions, Tiffany Stratton retained the Women's United States Championship over Jade Cargill, thanks to some help from Chelsea Green. However, she suffered defeat on SmackDown teaming with Green & Charlotte Flair against Cargill, Michin & B-Fab.7. Trick Williams [NR]
The same result happened with the Men's United States Championship at Night of Champions, as Trick Williams overcame the challenge of Ricky Saints to prolong his reign.6. Rey Fenix [+1]
Becoming the AAA Cruiserweight Champion has given Rey Fenix a new lease of life on SmackDown, as he successfully defended his title against El Hijo del Vikingo.5. Tony D'Angelo [NR]
The opening match of The Great American Bash saw Tony D'Angelo retain his NXT Men's Championship over the newcomer NARAKU, but an attack on Tuesday's show means a rematch is likely coming soon.4. Kendal Grey [NR]
However, The Great American Bash did see a new NXT Women's Champion crowned, as Kendal Grey captured the title from Lola Vice.3. Iyo Sky [NR]
The Genius of the Sky became the Queen of the Ring at Night of Champions, beating Liv Morgan to earn a Women's World Championship match at SummerSlam against… Liv Morgan.2. Oba Femi [+8]
Meanwhile the King of the Ring crown belongs to Oba Femi after his victory over Jey Uso at Night of Champions. But he won't cash in on his title shot at SummerSlam, as instead Femi will battle Brock Lesnar for the third time, this time inside Hell in a Cell.1. Sami Zayn [NR]
