Update On Whether AEW Rankings Have Been Scrapped

AEW

The AEW rankings are the most important rankings in all of AEW, and sometimes they’re even referred to in storylines when it makes storyline sense to do so.

It has been quite obvious that AEW has played down the importance of the rankings in recent weeks and months, so much so that Dave Meltzer was asked whether they even exist on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio.

The answer is yes, they do exist, but not as much as they once did.

He said:

“They’re not dead but they have been toned down, but they’re not dead. There was a decision not to emphasise them as much on television, but they can always go back to doing so.”

The ranking system was initially introduced to give AEW a more sports-based feel, and to show that wins and losses do actually matter, but perhaps Tony Khan has realised it’s hard to have a ranking system when you have some stars wrestling 15 times a week on Dark, Dark Elevation, Dynamite and Rampage.
