AEW Power 25: Top 25 best wrestlers of the month – October 2021
Another month of AEW programming has concluded. Let's look back on the past to know what could be beyond the horizon in AEW.
AEW emphasizes momentum-producing opportunities. Identifying who's carrying momentum heading into the next month can provide insight into who's on the cusp of taking gold.
As this is the first AEW Power 25, we should establish the premise of the list:
AEW Power 25 Rules:
- While the ranking is largely based on win/loss record, the magnitude of the matches involved will play a heavy part in the final positioning.
- Champions aren't guaranteed a spot within the ranking, but what they do throughout the month is more significant and will be considered as such.
- Each entry will come with its own "tale of the tape" detailing their win/loss record for the month and their notable happenings.
- Each entry will be summarised with an end-of-month review.
