Details on WWE’s Internal Ranking of Talent on Raw & SmackDown

RAW SmackDown 2022

With WrestleMania 38 in the history books, we look ahead to what’s next for WWE’s top Superstars.

As WWE’s creative team formulates plans for upcoming feuds, they use a “depth chart” that ranks specific performers. Information obtained by PWInsider reveals the current standing of the top babyfaces and heels on the Raw and SmackDown brands.

This article has been updated to reflect the men’s and women’s singles divisions. These rankings should be considered “internal guidelines” that WWE uses for booking, but still provides a unique look at how certain performers will be positioned in the coming months.
