The upcoming episode of Dynamite will also see the return of the rankings system, which was removed from the promotion. The rankings system had much fanfare but did not last.
CM Punk reportedly erased the rankings rule in AEW
The Jacksonville-based promotion had a ranking system implemented from the year 2019 to 2022. The ranking system was based on a wrestler's win-loss record and helped keep track of title scenes and potential contenders.
It was recently revealed that CM Punk was the one who erased the ranking system in the Jacksonville-based promotion. Bryan Alvarez made this revelation on the B&V show last week. He stated that The Straight Edge superstar convinced Tony Khan to drop the rule.
“I was told it was CM Punk. He talked Tony into getting rid of the rankings," Alvarez said on the show.
A couple of weeks ago, Tony Khan announced the return of the old system to commence the new year with exciting changes. Khan is hopeful for 2024 and believes that this year is going to turn out incredibly well for his company.
