Men’s AEW Rankings: Christian Cage Becomes Number One Contender
A massive shakeup has occurred in the men’s division as the top four contenders have completely shuffled. Christian Cage, following a win over The Blade, has been moved to the top spot and is now the number one contender for Kenny Omega‘s AEW World Championship. Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy both rise spots as well with Jungle Boy falling from number one to number four.
Women’s AEW Rankings: No Change
The women’s division has no movement this week but should be expected to next week with Red Velvet challenging Britt Baker for the AEW Women’s World Championship on the debut episode of Rampage.
Tag Team AEW Rankings: The Acclaimed are Removed
This is the big one. The Acclaimed has been completely removed from the rankings following the aftermath of Max Caster‘s freestyle rap on Dark last week which features comments about Simone Biles and Duke Lacrosse. Reports have been swirling all week long as to what has happened to Caster following the social media outrage by fans. With the removal of The Acclaimed, the tag team rankings have received a shakeup as well. As a result, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus are now the number one contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships while The Varsity Blondes also fall down from one to two. Private Party has jumped from five to three and FTR fall from three to five. Finally the newest edition, The Lucha Bros, vault over FTR into fourth place in all of AEW at an undefeated 6-0.
Time will tell as to what the future holds for The Acclaimed.
