AEW Weekly Power Rankings: Omega finally breaks into the top 5

With another week of action in the record books, our AEW Weekly Power Rankings take a look at how the landscape of AEW has shifted.

The biggest things this week came in the AEW Tag Team Championship tournament, causing a serious shakeup as the tournament finals were set. We got more action from the women’s division thanks to a match on AEW Dark and a surprise appearance by another competitor.

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 Nyla Rose got a chance to bounce back after her recent championship loss to Riho.

AEW Women’s Singles Division Power Rankings

HM: Jamie Hayter (0-1-0) [Last Week: Unranked] and Emi Sakura (0-0-0) [Last Week: Honorable Mention]

This week’s honorable mentions go out to Jamie Hayter and Emi Sakura. While Sakura was absent this week, she has a big match coming up on AEW Dark. Hayter lost to Baker, but put up a good fight and somehow ticked off Brandi Rhodes as well.

5. Allie (1-1-0) [Last Week: 2]

Barely staying on the rankings this week is Allie, sliding from two down to fifth position. While she’s had an uneventful few weeks, Allie still has a solid record and is set for a big match on AEW Dark that could help get her on the right path.

4. Nyla Rose (1-3-0) [Last Week: Honorable Mention] 

Powering out of the honorable mention is “The Native Beast” Nyla Rose. After a difficult loss to Riho to crown the inaugural champion, Rose finally bounced back this week with a dominant victory over Leva Bates on AEW Dark.

3. Brandi Rhodes (1-0-0) [Last Week: 4]

After being absent for a few weeks, Brandi Rhodes powered her way back into the conversation by attacking Jamie Hayter on Dynamite. Without a word, Brandi Rhodes stared down the interviewer and left the area. It’s not clear what this will lead to, but it’s gotten Brandi back in the conversation.

2. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (2-1-0) [Last Week: 3]

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. had a hell of a homecoming this week, competing in Pittsburgh, PA only minutes from where she’d earned the right to call herself a doctor. After a rough loss to Riho, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. bounced back with a strong win over newcomer Jamie Hayter.

1. Riho (4-0-0) [Last Week: 1]

For yet another week, Riho remains atop the Women’s Division. She remains the AEW Women’s World Champion, and at 4-0 has the most impressive undefeated record in the division. It’s not clear who her next challenger will be, but Riho is the obvious leader.
