After a week that included Ricky Saints winning the rubber match against Carmelo Hayes, Damian Priest and R-Truth retaining the WWE tag championships against MFT, and Danhausen starting to work his strange magic on Zack Ryder, several WWE Superstars saw their momentum shift heading into Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia and SummerSlam.

Several NXT stars were called up to WWE's main roster right after WrestleMania 42, including Ethan Page, Ricky Saints, Sol Ruca, Fatal Influence, and Joe Hendry. At that same time on April 24, WWE also announced that "The Glamour" Blake Monroe was "coming soon" to SmackDown. Nearly two months later, Monroe is still billed as "coming soon," even though she already appeared for less than 20 seconds in a backstage segment last month.

Stock Down

These three names sit among those whose stock decreased the most this week:

1. Blake Monroe remains stuck in a prolonged "coming soon" push on SmackDown despite her brief backstage appearance last month. With SmackDown reportedly being cut down to two hours at the start of July, the delay on a full in ring debut has stretched her hype cycle well past the April 24 announcement.
2. GUNTHER chose Sami Zayn to be the referee in his WWE Championship rematch against Cody Rhodes. Zayn could not maintain his cool, and the match devolved into a mess. GUNTHER powerbombed his hand picked referee while the match was still underway. The Ring General went home empty handed for the second time in less than one month. His momentum has taken a big hit since he sent John Cena into retirement, and the timing probably is not right for him to win the belt in his third try at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
3. Rhea Ripley received little in the way of an update this week, which has greatly increased concern that her absence due to injury may be a lengthy one that could force her to vacate the WWE Women's Championship. At the very least, WWE appears to now be preparing for SummerSlam as if Ripley will not be around.

Stock Up

On the other side of the ledger, these names moved in the positive direction:

1. Sami Zayn ultimately made the WWE title rematch between Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER all about himself, and he is now being rewarded for it with a WWE Championship match at Night of Champions. Zayn might just be there as the fall guy in the match, but a win in Saudi Arabia cannot be ruled out entirely.
2. King and Queen of the Ring finalists as a group: Jey Uso's critics are now worried about him winning another world title. IYO SKY's fans are reminding everyone that she is the best worker in WWE. Oba Femi's fans are hyped about him already challenging Roman Reigns for the world title in the main event of SummerSlam. Liv Morgan can add weight to her claim of being the greatest world champion in WWE history by becoming a double champion at SummerSlam, especially if Rhea Ripley needs to vacate her belt.
3. Fatu was officially welcomed inside The Bloodline by Roman Reigns this week. The Samoan Werewolf quickly proved to be a reliable assassin, taking out LA Knight with the Tongan Death Grip.
