Welcome to the weekly division power rankings for SmackDown Live.

These are the power rankings for each division on SmackDown Live for this following week. Each division would be ranked based on storyline progression and win/loss record as of 2017. Also, each division would be divided by contenders and pretenders, to differentiate the challengers in their respective division. I’ll also highlight a specific superstar in each division and explain their ranking based on their actions. Win/Loss record is provided by CageMatch.Net.

Each superstar or tag team can move up or down the rankings based on victory, defeat or storyline progression. Let’s get right to the rankings.

The SmackDown Live Women’s Division

Highlights of the Division

Alexia Bliss has to win in her title match at WrestleMania 33. She hasn’t gotten any help with the way she has been booked since the year began but she absolutely cannot lose her SmackDown Live Women’s Championship.

Becky Lynch had a good showing in her match against Carmella but it ended in a no-contest. The former champion might be the only credible contender to dethrone Bliss for the title at WrestleMania 33.

Carmella is still the wild card dark horse competitor to have a slim shot of winning the SmackdDwn Live Women’s Championship. She could have defeated Becky Lynch but the interference from their fellow WrestleMania 33 counterparts ended the match prematurely. 

I’m not convinced that Natalya and Mickie James will have any shot of winning the championship at WrestleMania 33. Mickie might still have that win over the current champ but she hasn’t been booked as a world beater since her return in January. Natalya can speak about her family legacy and her entitlement to gold but she’ll need to prove it at WrestleMania.

Nikki Bella and Naomi are still hovering around the top of the division but are preoccupied at the moment. Nikki has unfinished business with Maryse and Naomi is still recovering from her injury.

These are the rankings for the division.
