Great job gang!
Fellow AEW talent and Pinnacle member Cash Wheeler of FTR was accidentally left off the list and tweeted:
Ok @roderickstrong, there’s only one way to settle this. I want my spot back. I need argument leverage when I argue with the office.
Someone you might know from All Elite Wrestling, DDT Pro star Konosuke Takeshita tweeted:
I just knew about #PWI500 results. Last year I was ranked No.136 and this year I was able to improve my ranking to No.59. Thank you all for your support. I will strive to be in the top 20 next year.
