AEW Weekly Power Rankings: SCU rising while champions stay strong
With another week of action in the record books, our AEW Weekly Power Rankings take at how the landscape of AEW has shifted.
With championship implications for every single division, it was a big week for AEW and saw several athletes solidify their spots on our AEW Weekly Power Rankings. There were big wins for the reigning champions, and those helped them remain at the top of their respective divisions.
Each week in Daily DDT’s AEW Weekly Power Rankings, we take a look at the top five male singles competitors, top five female singles competitors, and top five tag teams. Records are specific to the division, so trios wins wouldn’t count for a tag team, and tag team wins wouldn’t count for a singles competitor, and so on. Honorable mentions tend to be athletes with less than ideal records that have still maintained an important presence and momentum this week.
There is potential for a power ranking of trios in the future, but without titles for them or more established trios, that’s something that will have to wait. Without further ado, let’s first take a look at the women’s division where Riho had to defend her AEW Women’s World Championship this week.
AEW Women’s Singles Division Power Rankings
HM: Nyla Rose (0-3-0) [Last Week: Honorable Mention] and Emi Sakura (0-0-0) [Last Week: Honorable Mention]
Unfortunately, there was only one women’s match this week and no advancement aside from that. Rose and Sakura, along with several others, don’t budge this week simply because nothing happened.
5. Bea Priestley (0-0-0) [Last Week: 5]
Much like honorable mention, Bea Priestley sits right where she was last week. She could turn her focus to a weakened Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., but we’ll have to wait and see if that’s where things go.
4. Brandi Rhodes (1-0-0) [Last Week: 4]
I feel like a broken record. Brandi Rhodes hasn’t done anything to merit moving up or down this list, nor been given a match with the goal of attempting to do so.
3. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (1-1-0) [Last Week: 2]
One of the two women featured on AEW Dynamite this week, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. challenged Riho for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Baker fought hard and looked close to victory on more than one occasion, but couldn’t get the job done. She slips down one spot based on her championship loss.
2. Allie (1-1-0) [Last Week: 3]
Happenstance has placed Allie firmly in line for a potential AEW Women’s World Championship shot in the future. She still has momentum from a tag team win over Bea Priestley and Penelope Ford but needs a new singles win to really stake her claim for the title.
1. Riho (4-0-0) [Last Week: 1]
Firmly at the top is reigning and successfully defending AEW Women’s World Champion Riho. Scrappy and diminutive, Riho took on Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. this week and came out with her championship intact. Against all odds, Riho is the definitive top of the division and is still undefeated in singles competition.
