AEW Power Rankings: Week of Oct. 30, 2019
This week’s AEW Power Rankings feature champions on top and a closer look at who is on the rise in the men’s, women’s and tag team divisions.
There was a lot going on this week between AEW Dynamite and AEW Dark. This week brought us the Tag Team Tournament finale and made Cody’s match with Chris Jericho at Full Fear official.
Without further ado (and with all that in mind), here are this week’s AEW Power Rankings.
Men’s Division
No. 1: Chris Jericho (last week: 1)
The champ continues his reign at No.1 after his Full Gear contract signing. Though he teased a table flip, he kept his cool. However, he did send his muscle, Jack Hager to play mind games with Cody by slamming his brother Dustin’s arm in a car door. Also, that pumpkin jacket deserves a top spot.
No. 2: Cody (last week: 6)
Cody didn’t have a match, but his upcoming bout at Full Gear has everyone talking. If he wins, Cody accomplishes what he’s never done before: becoming the World Champion. Cody flinched a few times but kept his composure through Jericho’s mind games. After the signing, he rushed to his brother’s side to help him after Hager’s attack.
No. 3-Hangman Page (last week: unranked)
“Hangman” Adam Page got a victory over Sammy Guevara in the opening match on Dynamite. He looked very impressive and needed the win after the death of Hunter Horse Helmsley.
No. 4-Sammy Guevara (last week: unranked)
Although the “Spanish God” lost, he had an excellent match against Hangman. He continues to prove why he belongs in The Inner Circle.
No. 5- Kenny Omega (last week: 2)
Omega is pretty fond of Halloween and showed it by wearing a Sans from Undertale costume. He teamed up with the Young Bucks against Hybrid 2 and Kip Sabian. Omega got the win after a successful One-Winged Angel. After the match, the Bucks were attacked by Santana and Ortiz, who were ringside. Omega saved his Elite brethren and ran off the Proud and Powerful.
No. 6-Jon Moxley (last week: 3)
“The Purveyor of Violence” didn’t have a match, but made an impression with his mic skills. Mox is angry after Tony Kahn made his Full Gear match against Omega unsanctioned. He let everyone know exactly what he thinks and proved why he’s one of the best on the mic.
No. 7- Darby Allin (last week: unranked)
Allin reminded fans why Dark is can’t-miss every week in a match with Jimmy Havoc and Jack Evans. The trio put on an impressive match with the Relentless one nailing a coffin drop with a chair on his opponents for the win.
No. 8- Jack Evans (last week: unranked)
Jack Evans made his singles debut on Dark against Darby Allin and Jimmy Havoc. After a great showing in that match, he wrestled on Dynamite with his tag team partner, Angelico, and Kip Sabian. Unfortunately, he lost both matches.
No. 9- Jimmy Havoc (last week: unranked)
Jimmy Havoc continued to be impressive in his Dark match. He has excellent chemistry with Allin, even with Jack Evans in the mix. He nearly got the win when he put Evans through a table, but then that meddling Allin had to hit them both with a coffin drop.
No. 10-QT Marshall (last week: unranked)
QT Marshall is known more for training Brandi Rhodes and his behind-the-scenes work. On a recent episode of Dark, he was featured on the “Undesirable to Undeniable” segment. Marshall used to wrestle until he had a neck injury. He had two matches this week — a tag match with Peter Avalon on Dark and a match on Dynamite with John Silver and Alex Reynolds. Unfortunately, his team wasn’t successful in either match.
