AEW Weekly Power Rankings: Jericho and Guevara burst into tag team rankings

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.

This was perhaps the most jam-packed week of action when it comes to the AEW Weekly Power Rankings. This ranking includes an episode of AEW Dark from Tuesday, AEW Dynamite, a second episode of AEW Dark from later in the week, The Buy-In, and AEW Full Gear itself.

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, we look at a women’s division where Awesome Kong has forced her way into the conversation.

AEW Women’s Singles Division Power Rankings

Honorable Mention: Jamie Hayter (0-1-0) [Last Week: Unranked] and Allie (1-2-0) [Last Week: Honorable Mention]

Jamie Hayter and Allie slip into honorable mention this week thanks to some tag team success. Each of them needs a singles win, but Hayter’s win on Dynamite and Allie’s win on AEW Dark give them some much-needed momentum.

5. Nyla Rose (1-3-0) [Last Week: Unranked]

Nyla Rose picked up a tag team victory on AEW Dark, which helps put her back in the conversation, but she’s also in need of a singles victory to put herself back in line for a future title opportunity. Despite her presence and prowess, Rose just hasn’t yet been able to make her record line up with that.

4. Awesome Kong (0-1-0) [Last Week: Unranked]

Despite her record, the sheer terror and intimidation of Awesome Kong has pushed her up these rankings and into the conversation. It’s not really clear what’s going on between Kong and Brandi Rhodes, but Kong’s assault on Bea Priestley during The Buy-In sent a powerful message with Brandi by her side.

3. Hikaru Shida (2-1-0) [Last Week: 3]

Hikaru Shida has been on a roll since returning at Dynamite to take on newcomer Shanna. Shida followed that with an impressive victory over Big Swole on AEW Dark this week. She seems primed for a future title shot, and one more strong singles win could put her right in line to take on Riho.

2. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (3-1-0) [Last Week: 4]

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. has bounced back well since losing her championship opportunity against Riho. She continued that this week with a big win during The Buy-In over Bea Priestley, getting revenge for Priestley injuring her months ago. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. may be a “f*cking dentist” as Priestley put it, but she’s a dentist that keeps winning.

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

At the top of the AEW Women’s Singles Division Power Rankings is AEW Women’s World Champion Riho for the sixth week straight. Riho may have a few tag team blemishes, but she remains undefeated in singles action after an impressive victory over her former teacher and mentor Emi Sakura at Full Gear. It’s not clear who Riho’s first challenger will be, but she’s proven herself ready for all comers.
