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. Sol Ruca [NR]

Sol Ruca continues her recent fine form after losing the Women's Intercontinental Championship with a victory on Raw over Lyra Valkyria, as Ruca puts herself in the discussion for future championship opportunities.

9. Rey Fenix [NR]

The luchador-focused tournament to crown a new World Heavyweight Championship challenger continued on Raw, with Rey Fenix securing a semi-final spot with his win against AAA's El Fiscal.

8. Dragon Lee [NR]

Rey Fenix is joined by Dragon Lee in the final four of the tournament, as Lee pinned El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr to get one step closer to a title match with Roman Reigns.

7. Myles Borne & Tavion Heights [-2]

The NXT Tag Team Champions watched as Jackson Drake stole a win from Shiloh Hill on Tuesday night, meaning Myles Borne will need to do double-duty at Heatwave to defend both his belts.

6. Lexis King [NR]

While the Women's Speed Championship is soon to be merged with the Women's North American Championship, the Men's Speed Championship remains around the waist of Lexis King after he beat Lucien Price on Tuesday's NXT.

5. Baron Corbin [-2]

The Men's United States Champion laid the challenge for Sunday Night's Main Event – if Lil Yachty can survive 5 minutes with Baron Corbin, Trick Williams will get another chance to win back the gold.

4. Fatal Influence [-3]

Now in possession of both the Women's United States Championship and the Women's Tag Team Championships, Fatal Influence took a night off to gloat, with Paige, Tiffany Stratton & Chelsea Green the targets of their ridicule.

3. Chad Gable [+4]

Chad Gable's first defense of his newly won Men's Intercontinental Championship was a successful one, defeating the legendary Rey Mysterio to set his reign on a positive course.

2. The MFTs [+2]

After capturing the WWE Tag Team Championships last week, The MFTs were tasked with defending those belts against the former champs Damian Priest & R-Truth on SmackDown. They passed this test, and will be hoping for a reign even longer than their predecessors.

1. CM Punk [+1]

The first-ever match between CM Punk and Kevin Owens ended in controversy, but with Punk's WWE Championship reign still intact. Interference by Sami Zayn allowed Punk to pick up the pin over Owens, but he was laid out with the title by Zayn immediately after.
