The President and CEO of AEW, Tony Khan, has revealed the official rankings for the wrestlers as of the beginning of February 2024, and there are some surprising names in the top five as well.
During the inception of All Elite Wrestling back in 2019, the company introduced a ranking system to determine a viable challenger for the available titles. However, it was abolished when many began questioning its relevancy. Nonetheless, Tony Khan brought it back recently at the fans' request.
Meanwhile, the rankings after the end of January 2024 are out, and while there are some expected names, some unexpected names also made the top five. The men's singles rankings include the likes of Swerve Strickland, Hangman Page, Adam Copeland, Jon Moxley, and, surprisingly enough, Roderick Strong.
