10 AEW Wrestlers Who Told You They Were Pissed

4. FTR Shoot On The Rankings

The presence of rankings within the All Elite environment definitely helps add some credibility to the various challengers facing down whoever is holding onto AEW gold at that moment in time, with stars often being forced to pick up a series of victories before being considered as genuine contenders.

Only, that isn't always strictly the case, as evidenced in the fact that FTR are still yet to compete for the company's World Tag Team Championships in recent times despite sitting atop the promotion's tag rankings for what feels like a lifetime.

And though the undeniable "Seven Star" unit have managed to get their mitts on just about every other strap at this current moment, that still didn't stop Dax Harwood from taking a shot at TK's rankings in the lead-up to The Young Bucks vs. Jurassic Express vs. The Hardys (before they were pulled) ladder match over the straps at the latest Road Rager.

And in a recent chat with Web is Jericho, Cash Wheeler would also further hammer home the duo's frustration at the flawed system, noting how he "would love to work with Swerve and Lee at some point, but we’re No. 1 contenders, so that probably can’t happen. When we drop down from there, maybe we’ll cash in.”
