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. Zilla Fatu [NR]

It was a noteworthy week for Zilla Fatu, as not only did he defeat another Birthright member in Charlie Dempsey at Halloween Havoc, but he was handpicked by John Cena to take a spot in the upcoming John Cena Classic Tournament.

9. The Baddies [-6]

Michin & B-Fab's Women's Tag Team Championship defense against Fatal Influence ended up in a no-contest, and then both factions joined forces to battle Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Tatum Paxley & Bayley.

8. Kevin Owens [NR]

In SmackDown's main event, Kevin Owens finally got to beat his nemesis CM Punk, harnessing a steel chain to knock him out in their Street Fight.

7. Sami Zayn [-5]

There was no in-ring action for Sami Zayn this week, but he finally got Roman Reigns's attention before their clash at Crown Jewel with an opportunistic Helluva Kick on Raw.

6. Rey Fenix [+1]

Wrestling on NXT this week, Rey Fenix paired up with fellow luchador Dragon Lee and famed luchador sympathizer Chad Gable to score a victory against The Vanity Project.

5. Ethan Page [NR]

We have a new Men's Intercontinental Champion following Monday's Raw. After months of pursuit and demanding opportunities, Ethan Page used an exposed turnbuckle to pin Chad Gable and earn his first main roster gold.

4. Chelsea Green [-3]

Chelsea Green's time on top of the Power Rankings was fleeting, because she, Tiffany Stratton & Iyo Sky were on the losing side of Raw's Six-Woman Tag versus Judgment Day's Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez.

3. Noam Dar & Romeo Moreno [+6]

The Dusty Rhodes Classic concluded on this week's NXT, and crowned Noam Dar & Romeo Moreno after their finals win over Hank & Tank. Now they've earned an NXT Tag Team Championship shot against Vanity Project – a team they beat earlier in the tournament.

2. Kelani Jordan [NR]

Both of NXT's top champions overcame two challengers each this week. First, Kelani Jordan kept hold of her NXT Women's Championship against Wren Sinclair at Halloween Havoc, and then the first-ever champion, Paige, on Wednesday's episode.

1. Grayson Waller [NR]

Grayson Waller completed the same feat as Kelani Jordan, but one of his opponents was just a tad more prestigious. Waller first defended his NXT Men's Championship from Tony D'Angelo at Halloween Havoc, and then, thanks to interference from Kevin Owens, Waller rolled-up CM Punk on NXT TV.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Myles Borne - At Halloween Havoc, Myles Borne picked up a singles victory against his former friend and tag partner, Tavion Heights.

Shiloh Hill - It may have been in a dumb match, but Shiloh Hill pinned former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion NARAKU at Halloween Havoc.

Izzi Dame - By distracting Zaria with images of her "loser" past, Izzi Dame beat the Women's North American Champion in their non-title match at Halloween Havoc.

Judgment Day - Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez came out on top on Raw in their tag match versus Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton & Iyo Sky.

Cruz Montana - The 946 is now fully stocked, as Cruz Montana debuted on Raw as part of the crew, who then helped him win his match with Dion Lennox on NXtT.
