AEW Rankings (June 24, 2020): Rise of the Machine

AEW released their latest rankings (June 24, 2020). Let’s check out the movers and shakers.

Men:

The Machine has risen. Brian Cage is now ranked. He popped up into the #2 slot after being unranked. I had a feeling AEW would slide him into the top 5 before his title fight against Jon Moxley at Fyter Fest, but I was not expecting him to leapfrog so many people in one week.

The undefeated Kenny Omega was bounced out. That may be a sign that AEW plans on having Hangman Page & Omega remain tag champs for the foreseeable future. Or at least until the All Out PPV on September 5.

Women:

A big welcome to Big Swole for crashing the top 5. She enters at #3, while Yuka Sakazaki has finally been removed from the rankings after months of inactivity. Penelope Ford moved up one spot to #2 before her championship opportunity against Hikaru Shida at Fyter Fest. Kris Statlander dropped from #2 to #4, and Britt Baker was dumped one spot after being dumped in a dumpster.

Tag Team:

The tag team rankings were also shuffled around. The Dark Order switched places with the Natural Nightmares after QT Marshall and Dustin Rhodes lost their title match to Hangman & Omega. A win by the Young Bucks over Blade & Butcher propelled them up two spots to #3 to flip with Private Party. The Best Friends remain at #1 after defending their contendership against Le Sex Gods. Trent and Chuck Taylor will wrestle the champs at Fyter Fest.
