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. Chelsea Green [-4]

Despite the unfortunate injury to her orbital bone that threatened to cut her Interim WWE Women's Championship reign short, Chelsea Green did show up on SmackDown, only to see her friend Tiffany Stratton lose her Women's United States Championship.

9. Jey Uso [NR]

With his victory over little brother Solo Sikoa in Raw's main event, Jey Uso will force Sikoa to rejoin The Bloodline on next week's episode.

8. PENTA [NR]

The luchador-focused Number One Contender's Tournament for the World Heavyweight Championship kicked off on Raw, as the favorite PENTA advanced over Laredo Kid.

7. Chad Gable [-3]

Meanwhile, after he beat PENTA at SummerSlam to win the Men's Intercontinental Championship, Chad Gable set his sights on a title defense against another legendary luchador when he challenged Rey Mysterio on Raw.

6. Zaria [NR]

The Women's North American Championship remained around Zaria's waist after she defeated Wren Sinclair on NXT, but they will have another match at Heatwave to unify both that title and Sinclair's Women's Speed Championship.

5. Myles Borne & Tavion Heights [-3]

The new NXT Tag Team Champions accepted Vanity Project's challenge for Heatwave, which could see Myles Borne defending both the tag titles and his Men's North American Championship back to back.

4. The MFTs [NR]

After an absurdly long reign for Damian Priest & R-Truth, The MFTs recaptured the WWE Tag Team Championships on SmackDown in a Triple Threat match also involving War Raiders.

3. Baron Corbin [NR]

Since returning to WWE around a month ago, Baron Corbin captured the Men's United States Championship at SummerSlam, retained it in a rematch with Trick Williams, and this week enjoyed a second straight defense against Carmelo Hayes.

2. CM Punk [-1]

WWE Men's Champion CM Punk engaged in another heated promo battle with Kevin Owens, digging into their past and their well-established animosity toward one another.

1. Fatal Influence [+2]

Fatal Influence now firmly controls the midcard of the SmackDown women's division, as Jacy Jayne overcame Tiffany Stratton to add the Women's United States Championship to Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid's Women's Tag Team Championships.
