WWE Friday Night Smackdown’s weekly power rankings. We rank the top superstars in each division.

This week’s power rankings include the WWE superstar’s performances from both Friday Night Smackdown as well as TLC. There’s a little shakeup in each division with Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro breaking into the Tag Team division, the return of Daniel Bryan and the lack of women’s matches, but not major changes as we’ve seen in the past. Without further ado, here are this week’s Friday Night Smackdown power rankings:

Tag Team Division

1. The New Day – The Smackdown Tag Team Champions performed on both Friday and Sunday, winning both of their matches. Retaining their title keeps them in the top spot.
2. Shinsuke Nakamura/Cesaro – They won their match on Friday against Heavy Machinery, and since the other teams all lost this week, they move up to the second spot.
3. The Revival – They lost their title match with The New Day at TLC, but Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson defeated Mustafa Ali and Shorty G on Friday. They hang out in the middle this week.
4. Heavy Machinery – Otis and Tucker let their emotions get the better of them on Friday. Their loss to Shinsuke and Cesaro moves them down.
5. Mustafa Ali & Shorty G – Apparently they are an official tag team now since they seem to perform together regularly, but they lost to the Revival this week so they slide down to fifth.
