All Elite Wrestling has been on fire since the build to their first show, Double or Nothing and now everyone is waiting for their second event AEW Fyter Fest. But after the major success of that show, they're on the fast-track to All Out in August and TV starting in October.

That show is guaranteed to be the biggest AEW has done to date, and recently on a 'Road to Fyter Fest' episode, Brandi Rhodes revealed that inside the Sears Center at 'All Out', the All Elite Wrestling Women's World Championship will be revealed.

That doesn't mean that like the AEW Championship, we'll crown a first ever Champion in Chicago, but we'll be one step closer to that.

So without further ado, sit back and read along as we look up and down to incredibly talented women's AEW roster and analyse the 5 best options to be crowned the first ever All Elite Wrestling Women's World Champion.


#5 Sadie Gibbs

Sadie Gibbs may not be a name that many around the world are familiar with, but once you see her in action, there's no doubting that she's one of the brightest young stars that AEW has to offer.

She's quite a new face on the wrestling scene, but has experience success in the UK as well as Japan, and quite frankly, she has absolutely everything it takes to be the face of the division.

Gibbs has the look, the personality, the in-ring work and most of all the athleticism that people love. With the best Sasuke Special in the business, the American fans will fall in love with her the moment they see her compete.

It's unlikely that we see this happen, as the company will be looking to slowly build her into a future star, and she certainly has some improvements to make, but when she gets to that point, Sadie Gibbs has the potential to be the best female wrestler on the planet.

#4 Bea Priestley

Priestley could take AEW by storm

Bea Priestley hasn't been seen yet in All Elite Wrestling, but her rise in Japan over the past few years has proven that when she does appear, she'll be a star right off the bat.

The New Zealand native hasn't been too active on the UK scene over the past few years, but in Stardom, she's replaced Toni Storm as the top gaijin, and it's a huge signing for AEW.

Fyter Fest would have been a great way to debut Priestley, as her look is highly inspired by Mortal Kombat, but whenever she does appear, the fans will gravitate towards her.

There are many more wrestlers in the women's division that are better known to the fans, so it will probably be a long build to get Priestley towards the top level, but when she does, the world will know just how great she is.

#3 Hikaru Shida

Shida is certainly ready for the big stage
Shida is certainly ready for the big stage

Hikaru Shida was the only woman in the six-person Joshi tag at Double or Nothing signed to AEW beforehand. Despite a great effort from everyone, Shida stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The Japanese sensation can be a brutal wrestler or a loveable babyface, but regardless, she's someone to keep an eye on. With AEW looking to become a global force in the wrestling business, don't count this one out just yet.

They've been building some other stars in the division since the very birth of AEW, and that's the easy play for the company to make, but Shida is certainly ready for the big stage.

With that being said, it's quite unlikely that Shida gets pushed that quickly so early on, but if they can build her into a very interesting character and let her show off all the skills she possesses, it will just be a matter of time until that gold is around her waist.

#2 Nyla Rose

Nyla Rose was a relatively unknown performer before being introduced as AEW's big signing at the Double or Nothing Rally, and after just one match, it's clear she'll be a big player going forward.

We've yet to see much from The Native Beast, but it's clear she's a fantastic in-ring worker, and with her combination of size, athleticism and intensity, it will be hard for anyone (except Awesome Kong) to physically match up with her.

Rose has a match at Fyter Fest with Riho and Yuka Sakazaki, and if she comes out on top in that contest, it's hard to see anyone derailing her momentum on the way to All Out in August.

Sure, she isn't as well liked as Rae or Baker and she doesn't have the history of an Awesome Kong, but Nyla Rose has all the tools, and if she can continue to improve, it will be very hard to stop her.

#1 Britt Baker

Britt Baker has been the focal point of AEW's women's division since the birth of the company, and after a victory in the first women's match at Double or Nothing, it's quite clear she's the future of the Women's division in the company.

Dr. Britt Baker has the look, the charisma and the in-ring work for the company to get behind her, and while it's definitely the obvious play for AEW to make, it may just be the right one.

Kylie Rae is a future Champion as the underdog and Nyla Rose is a dominant beast, but Baker has the all around talent that it takes to be the face of a new show on TNT, and it makes complete sense.

The women's division in AEW is quite deep at the moment, so a shock twist to begin the start of programming on TNT regarding the division would be a smart way to go. But having Baker establish the ladies makes just as much sense, so for now, she has to be considered the favourite.
