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. Bron Breakker [-9]

Although he fell short of the SummerSlam card, Bron Breakker secured a straightforward victory on Raw over Joe Hendry.

9. Kendal Grey [NR]

Stepping into the Underground for the first time, Kendal Grey got the better of Lola Vice in Vice's signature match, extending her burgeoning reign as NXT Women's Champion.

8. Oba Femi [NR]

The main event of SummerSlam Night 1 took place inside Hell in a Cell, where Oba Femi finally established himself as the Next Big Thing, conquering Brock Lesnar and sending him into "retirement".

7. Liv Morgan [NR]

While Liv Morgan fell short against Iyo Sky in last month's Queen of the Ring Final, she showed up when it mattered most. In the SummerSlam opener, Morgan defeated Sky to retain her Women's World Championship.

6. Chelsea Green [NR]

In a moment that many people have waited a long time for (not me), Chelsea Green literally and figuratively climbed the ladder to become the Interim WWE Women's Champion at SummerSlam. And with Rhea Ripley set to be on the sidelines for a lot longer than anticipated, Green could soon become the lineal champ.

5. Roman Reigns [NR]

SummerSlam ended with a match nearly 15 years in the making, as Roman Reigns finally defeated Seth Rollins in a big match scenario, retaining the World Heavyweight Championship and asserting himself as the best member of The Shield (who still works for WWE).

4. Chad Gable [+5]

10 years since he arrived on the WWE main roster, Chad Gable finally captured his first-ever singles title when he pinned Pentagon for the Men's Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam.

3. Fatal Influence [+4]

Fatal Influence continued to establish themselves as the pillars of the women's tag division at SummerSlam, beating The Bella Twins & Paige in a Six-Woman Tag. They then showed up on SmackDown to defend their Women's Tag Team Championships over Chelsea Green & Tiffany Stratton.

2. Myles Borne & Tavion Heights [+2]

Myles Borne became the latest in a growing line of double champions on Tuesday's NXT, as the Men's North American Champion added the NXT Tag Team Championship to his collection when he and Tavion Heights defeated Vanity Project.

1. CM Punk [+2]

In a 30-minute back-and-forth battle marred by some interference from Randy Orton, CM Punk emerged victorious over Cody Rhodes with his reign as WWE Men's Champion still firmly intact.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Gunther - After months of frustration with management, Gunther put SmackDown GM Nick Aldis in his place at SummerSlam.

Kevin Owens - Night 2 of SummerSlam opened with the much-celebrated return of Kevin Owens, as he overcame Sami Zayn, Finn Balor & Gunther to earn the next shot at the WWE Men's Championship.

Baron Corbin - Less than a month after returning to WWE, Baron Corbin already holds gold after he beat Trick Williams at SummerSlam for the Men's United States Championship.

Danhausen - In SummerSlam's ridiculous Human Monies on a Pole Match, Danhausen's fireworks allowed him to score the win over Dominik Mysterio.

Charlotte Flair - While she couldn't capture the Interim WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair did defeat Jade Cargill one-on-one on SmackDown.

1. Cody Rhodes - 11 weeks (1 week at #1)
