Wrestler rankings to close out
Top 20 Wrestlers of 2020 Updated Table as of eps 60
The big movers over the last two weeks up the ranks is noticeably Tetsuya Endo (DDT KO-D) champion, current AEW TNT champion Cody, tag title number 1 contenders Best Friends which includes a certain freshly squeezed one, and the Dragon Shingo bursts back into form. With Endo consistently being in the main event on DDT TV to go along with defending the title against a very game and upcoming Ueno, and tag title matches, Endo is proving to be the "man" in DDT. Moxley and Omega better put on bangers at AEW Fyter Fest or risk losing their top spot to Endo with DDT's big Korakuen hall show coming up in July.
Cody has made the TNT title a draw for AEW on tv. With his entertaining tv matches along with constantly teasing the 4-horsemen, could Cody put out yet another enticing performance at Fyter Fest vs Jake Hager? That one is a tough call due to Hager being who he is, and Cody's track record of over booking his bigger matches.
The NJPW guys are currently in the New Japan Cup, but with Shingo already eliminated after that brilliant match vs Sho, one could almost expect Ishii or Okada at the least to put on great matches to get them high points coming up over the next few weeks.
As for the Dragon Gate guys, fans are back here in July as they gear up for Kobe World, so keep your eye on that Dream Gate title picture and those veterans there to possibly get big points as well.
In the women's rankings, Maya bursts ahead to claim the solo number 1 spot after retaining her title vs the game 17 yr old Suzu, and further enforcing her 'queen bitch energy' over the entire Ice Ribbon roster and women's wrestling in general. It will be very interesting to see who can possibly step up as Stardom is back in action, and with SeaDlinng certainly looking at strong cards to watch out for this Summer, AND Hikaru Shida defending her AEW title at Fyter Fest.
Speaking of, yes, Arisa Nakajima has busted into the top rankings with her great match vs ASUKA. She is also gearing up for her next defense against the one and only Yoshiko which should be a hell of a fight as they went to a draw in their encounter back in January.
One of the most interesting cases is the status of Tessa Blanchard. She was fired as champion from Impact Wrestling, and now a free agent. Could she simply fall out of the rankings not being signed, does she sign with WWE or AEW, or does she go full indie-esc and wrestle for someone like AAA lucha libre. Definitely she is one to keep an eye out for; setting aside personal opinions of course.
