AEW Power Rankings: May 31, 2026

#1. Konosuke Takeshita

The Alpha successfully defended the AEW International Championship against Daniel Garcia on Collision, headlining the show and closing it out with a mass brawl that kept him at the center of the biggest moment of the night. He’s the workhorse champion right now and every story leads back to him.

#2. Daniel Garcia

Getting a world-class main event title shot on Collision and being part of the chaotic post-match brawl keeps Garcia firmly in the spotlight. He’s a Death Rider operating at the top of the card and losing here doesn’t cool him off — it raises the stakes.

#3. The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross)

As reigning AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions, they’re the target of TayJay’s newly earned title shot and are generating real heat as the dominant force in the division. The Five-Minute Challenge Eliminator concept puts the spotlight squarely on them as the measuring stick.

#4. TayJay (Tay Melo & Anna Jay)

Surviving the Divine Dominion’s brutal Five-Minute Challenge Eliminator is a big deal — TayJay earned their shot the hard way and now headline next week’s Collision with a Women’s World Tag Team Title match. The reunion of this duo is clicking at the right moment.

#5. Hazuki

Made an immediate impact in her AEW debut, defeating Maya World and then getting confronted by CMLL Women’s Champion Persephone to set up a Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match on next week’s Collision. STARDOM’s pipeline into AEW is real, and Hazuki looks like a serious player out of the gate.

#6. Persephone

The CMLL World Women’s Champion sat on commentary during Hazuki’s debut — a classic power move — and immediately staked her claim heading into next week’s Owen Hart Cup match. She’s positioned as the established force in this tournament and has the credibility to back it up.

#7. Jon Moxley

The AEW Continental Champion and Death Rider leader was in action on Collision and remains the dark cloud hanging over every top feud in the company. Even in a week that wasn’t exclusively about him, his presence shapes everything around the International title picture.

#8. PAC

Paired with Moxley as part of the Death Riders’ Collision activity, PAC continues to be one of the most dangerous men on the roster without needing a singles title to prove it. The Bastard is always a threat to become relevant in any title conversation overnight.

#9. Tommaso Ciampa

Hijacked a segment on Collision to roast Chris Jericho with a “1004 Reasons” parody — a deeply WWE-coded bit that went over huge with the crowd. It’s a comedic angle, but Ciampa’s personality is getting real airtime and that’s how feuds get built.

#10. Willow Nightingale

Not in action, but her name is everywhere — the vacant TBS Championship and the entire Survival of the Fittest tournament framework exist because of her shoulder injury. Her absence is actively reshaping the women’s division, which speaks to how much she matters.
