Being now a few weeks removed from the “Double or Nothing” rally in Jacksonville, FL, All Elite Wrestling Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes clarified some statements when it comes to making wins and loses matter in AEW.
During an interview with SEScoops.com, Rhodes had this to say when it comes to implementing win-loss records and even having wrestler rankings for title shots.
Here’s what he said:
“This is preliminary, but I can tell you that we have talked about rankings and we have talked about records. As a kid, we probably all read Pro Wrestling Illustrated and the different mags where they’d have the rankings. Everything we’d like to do is an effort to engage the audience. Not in a way that insults their intelligence. It is something that’s been discussed. I can’t confirm that we’ll do records, or we’ll do an analytical take on it, but I’ve seen some mock ups for some pretty cool stuff. New Japan does it in their own unique way, with Tag League and with G1 and you notice the fans get really into that. They want something they can sink their teeth into. I can’t confirm but we’re definitely looking at records and standings, it’s a very strong possibility.”
As Cody said above, it is still in the preliminary stages, so don’t take this as gospel.
