On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, ECW legend Tommy Dreamer praised AEW for reinstating the rankings system. He said,
“I like them [the rankings]. It’s an easier way to have men and women fight for a purpose if you’re looking at just straight-up wins and losses.”
AEW restarted the rankings system for the first time since September 2022 this past week.
