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. Zaria [-5]

Zaria tumbles to the bottom of the rankings as, after eliminating recent rival Izzi Dame in NXT's number one contender battle royal, a distraction by Dame caused the Women's North American Champion's own elimination.

9. Birthright [NR]

Despite two members of Birthright being dumped out of the Dusty Rhodes Classic, remaining members Charlie Dempsey & Lexis King made it second time lucky after they entered in place of Sean Legacy & Dorian Van Dux, and they beat The Tokyo Bad Boys to advance.

8. Hank & Tank [NR]

Life hasn't been great for Hank & Tank since they lost the NXT Tag Team Championships a long time ago, they did score a rare victory over Shido Ash & Viktor Zanov to make the next round of the Dusty Rhodes Classic.

7. Grayson Waller [-3]

After surviving EK Prosper's open challenge last week and with Mason Rook out of action indefinitely, NXT Men's Champion Grayson Waller is now left awaiting a new challenger to emerge in pursuit of his title.

6. Wren Sinclair [NR]

Hidden under the mask and attire of AAA's Lady Shahi due to her recent suspension, Wren Sinclair sneakily won Tuesday's Battle Royal, earning the title shot against NXT Women's Champion Kelani Jordan.

5. The Judgment Day [NR]

While the phrase "Judgment Day runs Monday Night Raw" might be a lot less accurate these days, it was arguably true this Monday at least. In a pair of tag team matches, first Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez defeated Sol Ruca & Lola Vice. Then later in the show, Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh were victorious over Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee.

4. La Catalina [-1]

La Catalina made it to the final five of NXT's Women's Battle Royal before the AAA Reina de Reinas Champion was eliminated by Kali Armstrong.

3. CM Punk [-1]

On SmackDown, CM Punk exchanged another war of words with Kevin Owens on top of ladders before they battle for the Money in the Bank briefcase, with Sami Zayn guaranteeing that neither man would secure the briefcase.

2. Tatum Paxley & Alexa Bliss [NR]

With Jade Cargill injuring Charlotte Flair earlier in the night, it was up to Alexa Bliss to team with Tatum Paxley to take on Fatal Influence for the Women's Tag Team Championships. And, as is often the case, the thrown-together pair captured the titles, meaning this is Bliss's fifth tag title reign with her fourth different partner.

1. PENTA [No Change]

PENTA stays atop the Power Rankings ahead of his attempt to win the Men's Money in the Bank briefcase, thanks to him teaming with Je'Von Evans on Raw in a win over World Tag Team Champions The Vision.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Je'Von Evans - As just mentioned, Je'Von Evans combined with PENTA in their victory on Raw against The Vision.

Rey Fenix - Essentially going from show to show at the moment, Rey Fenix popped up on Raw to defeat Ethan Page, earning a Men's Intercontinental Championship match.

Zilla Fatu - Saying "Hello" to the honorable mentions, Zilla Fatu picked up this place by beating Lexis King in NXT's opener.

Lash Legend - In a SmackDown vs Raw Six-Woman Tag featuring all of the Women's Money in the Bank field, Lash Legend scored the decisive pin for her side on Sol Ruca.

MFTs - The WWE Tag Team Champions sent a message to their challengers with a non-title win over The War Raiders on SmackDown.

The Power Rankings Table (since WrestleMania 42)

1. CM Punk - 13 weeks (4 weeks at #1)
2. PENTA - 13 weeks (3 weeks at #1)
3. Roman Reigns - 11 weeks (2 weeks at #1)
4. Cody Rhodes - 11 weeks (1 week at #1)
5. Fatal Influence - 10 weeks (2 weeks at #1)

7. Trick Williams - 9 weeks (2 weeks at #1)
8. Chad Gable - 8 weeks
9. Rey Fenix - 8 weeks
10. Bron Breakker - 7 weeks (1 week at #1)
