Welcome the WWE SmackDown Live weekly division power rankings.

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

Carmella and Alexia Bliss notched a huge win in their tag team bout against Mickie James and Becky Lynch. For Carmella, this catapults her into the contender’s group of the division and legitimizes her shot of capturing the SmackDown Live Women’s Championship. It’s been a long time coming for the former valet of Enzo and Big Cass but she’s earned her keep as a credible title challenger.

Alexia Bliss may have been victorious in her tag team match but she isn’t guaranteed to walk out WrestleMania 33 as the defending champion. This 6-Pack challenge match is usually designed to crown a new champion and the odds of the current champion retain her title is slim to none. Bliss has been booked as a title placeholder than a legitimate champion and that might get corrected on Apr. 2.

The true No. 1 contender in the division is back and is probably the odds-on favorite in walking out as champion in her hometown of Orlando. Naomi was primed to have a lengthy run as SmackDown Live Women’s Champion but a severe injury cut that short in a span of a week. Look for that to be corrected at WrestleMania 33. 

Becky Lynch has an outside shot of capturing the championship but it’s clearly unlikely in the meantime. Natalya and Mickie James will be hovering around the pretender’s list in the meantime and aren’t remotely close to have a shot at winning the title at WrestleMania 33.

Nikki Bella dropped to the pretender’s list because of inactivity, that could change if she nabs a huge win with her boyfriend John Cena against the Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania 33.

Let’s see the rankings for the division this week.
