Latest Rankings Released

Every AEW Championship Defended

For the first time ever, all four AEW Championships will be defended on Dynamite. TNT Champion Cody Rhodes will face the unranked Orange Cassidy, Tag Team Champions FTR take on the number one contender Best Friends, Hikaru Shida will defend the Women’s Championship against the second-ranked Big Swol, and AEW Champion Jon Moxley goes up against the top-ranked Lance Archer.

(Josh’s Take: What a packed card! Orange Cassidy is the only guy I will support skipping ahead of the rankings to face Cody. As I have said before, both here and via podcast, Hikaru Shida is miles beyond the rest of the women’s roster in terms of talent. My hope is that she’ll be able to elevate the much greener Swol to a good match. Both the tag match and AEW Championship match should be very good, and I expect Moxley and Archer to really push the envelope in regards to the level of violence that is allowed on television.)
