WWE Power Rankings
Weekly Intelligence: WWE Power Rankings (Feb 15, 2026)
As the 2026 season hurtles toward WrestleMania, the WWE Power Rankings have reached a fever pitch. This week, we analyze the statistical fallout of a massive Triple Threat on SmackDown and the end of the season’s longest undefeated streak. Our proprietary RPI algorithm continues to prioritize “Quality over Quantity,” rewarding those who face the steepest competition.
Cody Rhodes makes a massive leap this week, while Jade Cargill solidifies her claim as the most efficient competitor in the women’s division. For a complete look at the underlying data, visit our WWE Stats Center.
| RK | Trend | Superstar | Record | RPI | SOS | The Breakdown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | — | Roman Reigns | 1-0 | .850 | .667 | The Royal Rumble “Mega-Win” provides a mathematical floor that no other superstar has reached yet. His efficiency rating remains 1.000. |
| 2 | ▲ NEW | Jade Cargill | 3-0 | .725 | .440 | Now 3-0 in singles after a dominant win over Jordynne Grace. Cargill’s RPI is the highest of any active full-time female wrestler. |
| 3 | ▲ 2 | Cody Rhodes | 1-1-1 | .695 | .710 | The biggest mover. By defeating Sami Zayn and Jacob Fatu, Rhodes absorbed a massive SOS boost, vaulting over the volume winners. |
| 4 | ▼ 2 | Carmelo Hayes | 6-1 | .640 | .295 | The 6-match winning streak is over. While his volume keeps him in the Top 5, the Bloodline war loss significantly dented his legitimacy score. |
| 5 | ▼ 2 | Liv Morgan | 4-3 | .610 | .515 | Rumble winner SOS keeps her ranked high, but back-to-back tag team losses are starting to eat away at her RPI ceiling. |
| 6 | ▼ 2 | Drew McIntyre | 2-0 | .595 | .333 | Idle this week. The Undisputed Champion is suffering from “Activity Decay.” He needs a title defense to reclaim the #2 spot. |
| 7 | ▲ 1 | Trick Williams | 3-1-1 | .570 | .480 | A vital singles victory over Rey Fenix on SmackDown helps him recover from the SNME fallout. Trick remains a top-tier metrics threat. |
| 8 | ▼ 1 | Sami Zayn | 3-2-1 | .545 | .580 | The loss to Cody Rhodes hurts his record, but the difficulty of his opponents keeps his SOS among the Top 3 in the entire company. |
| 9 | ▲ NEW | Alexa Bliss | 4-3 | .515 | .420 | Wins the SmackDown Triple Threat over Giulia and Zelina. High activity (7 matches) provides a robust data set that favors her current momentum. |
| 10 | ▼ 4 | Akira Tozawa | 3-2 | .495 | .650 | Alpha Academy’s loss to the Usos finally brought Tozawa’s RPI back to earth, though his league-leading SOS keeps him in the Top 10. |
Week 7 Tactical Breakdown
The narrative of Week 7 is the **Cody Rhodes Resurgence**. Rhodes entered the week unranked due to a lack of singles volume, but his victory over Sami Zayn—who held the #1 spot only weeks ago—is the ultimate “RPI Steal.” In our model, beating a superstar with a high SOS is worth double the points of a standard win. Cody didn’t just win; he inherited Sami’s statistical legacy.
For Carmelo Hayes, the bubble has finally burst. While 6–1 is an elite record, the loss on SmackDown proved that his Strength of Schedule was his Achilles’ heel. Because he spent the early season beating lower-ranked talent, his first loss against a high-tier opponent (Solo Sikoa/Bloodline) caused a disproportionate drop in his Rating Percentage Index.
In the women’s division, Jade Cargill is currently the “Final Boss.” At 3–0 with a clean victory over a former champion in Jordynne Grace, Cargill is the only superstar whose trajectory is a vertical line. If she maintains this efficiency, she is on a collision course with Roman Reigns for the seasonal #1 spot.
Ranking Methodology
Our WWE Power Rankings are not subjective lists compiled by editors. They are mathematically generated using a three-pronged approach:
- Base Points: 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. PLE/Rumble wins feature a multiplier.
- SOS Adjustment: We calculate the combined winning percentage of every opponent a superstar has faced.
- RPI Calculation: 25% personal winning percentage, 50% opponents’ winning percentage, and 25% opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage.
