#4 Kris Statlander as the AEW Women's World Champion
The AEW women's division went through some growing pains in 2020: from talents being stuck overseas to rising stars being sidelined with unfortunate injuries. But over the last few months, it has started to find its footing. With the way things are currently heading, 2021 could be a phenomenal year for women's wrestling in AEW.

While it would be easy to pick the recently returned Dr. Britt Baker to be the champion next October, we wouldn't be surprised if she held that title before the calendar year even hits 2021. So with that in mind, we look to the future to another woman who will obviously be returning from injury in 2021.
Kris Statlander was an absolute highlight of the first half of 2020 when it came to women's wrestling on Dynamite. Unfortunately, her momentum was halted when she suffered a torn ACL back in June.
When Statlander returns, expect her to pick off exactly where she left off in pursuit of the AEW Women's World Championship. With the fans behind her there's no reason why she wouldn't hold this title come next October.
