Predicting AEW's next Champions

AEW Women's World Champion: Awesome Kong

Riho is great, but unfortunately, her title reign hasn't been. She has too many commitments elsewhere, and one wonders whether AEW can continue to permit its women's champion to miss so many episodes of Dynamite. Riho has still not gotten a real feud or rival, which has dragged on her reign.

But also unfortunately, the women's division itself has had no momentum. No one has an interesting story, as we constantly see random tag team matches on TV. AEW might want to be an alternative, but it's been borrowing from the worst of WWE in that regard.

This leaves us with a process of elimination. The only member of the division that has any kind of story right now is Awesome Kong, who's partnership with Brandi Rhodes has seen her take locks of hair as trophies.

At this rate, one suspects that Riho is eventually going to be one of those scalps.
