  • Ian Carey

New AEW rankings have been released. 

Tony Khan posted the new top-five wrestlers in each division following the conclusion of AEW Collision on Saturday night. 

Men’s singles rankings —

There were two changes in the men’s singles division rankings. Last week, Swerve Strickland was in the top spot, and Hangman Page was ranked number two. However, after going to a time-limit draw on Dynamite, Page and Strickland are listed as being tied for the number one contender’s spot. 

Konosuke Takeshita cracks the top five after defeating Chris Jericho on Dynamite. He’s now 3-0 in singles matches in 2024. 

Roderick Strong drops out of the rankings after being number five last week. Strong teamed with Matt Taven & Mike Bennett on Dynamite in a win over Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta, and Rocky Romero on Rampage this week but hasn’t had a singles match since the previous rankings came out. Strong is scheduled to challenge Cassidy for the AEW International Champion at Revolution.
