Women’s Division
Bayley – The Smackdown Women’s Champion battled Nikki Cross again this week, but the match ended in a No Contest when some NXT women showed up to interfere. She keeps her top spot as champion.
Sasha Banks – Allowing Bayley to face Nikki Cross on her own was new, but Banks kept her word until NXT showed up and then proposed a 4v4 tag team match, which the Smackdown women won. Her leadership and talent keep her in the second spot.
Nikki Cross – Her match with Bayley was going well until it was interrupted. Then Cross joined Banks, Carmella and Dana Brooke to defeat the NXT women who interrupted her match. She moves up based on her performance this week.
Carmella – Carmella continues to show she’s not afraid of anyone as she joined Banks, Cross and Brooke in the ring as a team. Her moonwalking ability aside, Carmella is more talented than it would seem.
Dana Brooke – Brooke continues to build momentum as part of a tag team, and hopefully it won’t be long before she’s winning singles matches. She moves up based on actually appearing in a match.
Mandy Rose – Rose didn’t appear in the ring this week, so she falls in the rankings. Still, her athletic prowess keeps her in the middle of the rankings.
Sonya Deville – Deville didn’t appear in the ring this week either, but her recent showings on Smackdown keep her alive.
Lacey Evans – Should Lacey Evans get in the ring anytime soon, she will soar up the rankings. Always fun to watch, her antics are entertaining and keep her in the top 10.
Tamina – When the locker room cleared this week, Tamina actually showed her face on Smackdown so she gets a nod. She’s been nursing an injury, but is cleared and will hopefully return to action soon.
Alexa Bliss – Still out with an undisclosed injury, it won’t be long before Bliss graces us with her presence on Smackdown again. Once she’s back in the ring, she will likely shoot up the rankings, much like Lacey Evans.
