AEW Power Rankings: Week of Jan. 22, 2020
Tag Team Division
No. 1 — Hangman Page/Kenny Omega (last week: 2)
Page and Omega struggled to stay on the same page (no pun intended). SCU, on the other hand, worked together flawlessly. When Sky got out of the One-Winged Angel, Page went for the Buckshot Lariat, but hit his own partner. Page broke up the SCU Later on Omega. He then hit a spine buster on Kaz, followed by buckshot lariats on Sky and Kaz for the win.
Later in the night during an interview, Page still isolated himself from both his partner and the rest of The Elite.
No. 2 — SCU (last week:1)
After 84 days, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky dropped the AEW World Tag Team Titles. The duo worked together smoothly. Once the SCU Later was broken up, Hangman & Page were on a roll. The match was close several times, but in the end, they couldn’t retain the titles.
No. 3— Santana, Ortiz, & Chris Jericho (last week: 5)
Jericho started off against Jungle Boy, their first meeting since Dec. 18. Jericho quickly tagged in Ortiz. Santana isolated Jungle Boy in the corner where they could easily control the match. Stunt nearly got the roll up on Jericho, but he hit Stunt with the Judas Effect for the win.
No. 4— Jurassic Express (last week: unranked)
Jurassic Express pulled double duty this week. On Dark, Jurassic Express had an awesome match with the Strong Hearts. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus used a combo powerbomb and covered for the win.
On Dynamite, they faced 3/5 of Inner Circle. Jungle Boy started off hot against both Jericho and Ortiz. Luchasaurus cleaned house and took out all three members followed by double chokeslams on Ortiz and Jericho. Hager distracted Luchasaurus and they brawled in the back. Marko Stunt came inches away from pinning “Le Champion.” In the end, the veteran was too much to handle.
No. 5— Strong Hearts (last week: unranked)
T-Hawk had an excellent exchange with Jungle Boy to kick off the match. El Lindaman faced off with Stunt. CIMA went head-to-head with Luchasaurus and even went flying through the ropes. The teams matched each other’s intensity in a really fun match.
No. 6—Young Bucks (last week: 3)
The Bucks came to Cody’s defense by Superkicking MJF. On Cody’s orders, they tossed MJF into the pool.
