Hello friends and welcome back to the PW Musings AEW Power Rankings and this week we focus on the tag division. NGL but doing these tag rankings has been a chore recently with the lack of competitive action in the division with the majority of AEW contracted tag teams facing off against non-contracted talent or even easier than that against Chaos Project. But in the last few weeks, business has picked up with the debut of one of the greatest teams in the history of pro wrest

There is more than one Royal (family) Rumble and I will pick thru the family tree of all things numbers and rankings as we prepare for the most unique and my personal favorite event of the wrestling year. While we know most stats that Michael Cole and or JBL have regurgitated into our ears the last few decades, I will still go over and thru the 34 previous yearly editions and the special 50man Greatest Rumble encounter to give my updated consensus on what is really intriguing

Hello friends and welcome to the latest edition of the AEW Tag Team Division Power Rankings. With a limited schedule of action in the tag division over the past 6 weeks, ranking the duos of AEW has been the most difficult it has been since PW Musings has started the Power Rankings format. Teams have been stuck in multi-man matches and been distracted by faction teammates struggles with rivals. Injuries have also blighted the division, most evident with the Rey Fenix arm inju

Well, 2021 was just slightly better than 2020 I guess. In the world of AEW we did get fans back into the arenas plus many a new signing including CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole. We also had many standout 2021's from members of the AEW roster so in a slight twist to our Historical Top Ten series, we look back at the year that was and rank the top ten wrestlers in All Elite Wrestling from the past 12 months.

Hello friends and welcome to the latest edition of the AEW Power Rankings and this week we are focusing on the tag team division. To say this edition has been a hard one to compile is an understatement. With an lot of inactivity from teams in the division and a lot of matches between contracted talent and non-contracted talent (the 2021 term for squash matches I guess) ranking the teams of AEW has been akin to ranking college football teams from 2nd-10th after Thanksgiving w

Full Gear was the end of an era. When Hangman Page hit his second Buckshot Lariat on Kenny Omega and got the 1-2-3 it ended the Best Bout Machine's 346 day reign as AEW Champion. The question now is where does Kenny Omega's reign as All Elite Wrestling World Champion rank in the all time list?

We have gone tournament crazy in professional wrestling lately with AEW currently putting on the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament and the TBS Title tourney and the Owen Hart Trophy coming soon and WWE doing their once in a blue moon King Of The Ring and the inaugural Queen's Crown which total match time lasted as long as a Nuno Espirito Santo managerial reign.
