Megan Bayne has unfortunately lost her partner again in Penelope Ford. Don’t feel too bad for her though, she’s now pairing with Lena Cross and together they create Divine Dominion. They’ve already taken the Women’s Tag Team Championship, who’s going to stop them?

Hangman hasn’t had things going his way in AEW in 2026, this may be his only appearance on the list for a while after losing at Revolution, as he’s due a break. Rest well Cowboy, we’ll be waiting for your return!

PPVApps: 0 = 0
Tourn.Ws: 0 = 0
Win %: 75 = 7.5
TOTAL: 19.5

Jack Perry has finally gotten his hand on the AEW National Championship. After 2 or 3 attempts, he won the 21 Battle Royal, which does count as a Zero Hour match, and is your AEW National Champion. That is the boost he needed to make into the Elite 15.

12. ANDRADE

A professional wrestler, Andrade El Idolo, stands posed with his arms crossed against a colorful, abstract background. The image includes the text 'The Don Callis Family' above his name.

Andrade has been an absolute gem since he returned to AEW. Every time he is on screen my wife is screaming at him to take his pants off and now I am too. The man is so entertaining, great on the mic and an incredible wrestler. I can’t wait to see more of him in 2026.

11. MISTICO

A masked wrestler named Mistico stands in a striking pose with hands together, against a colorful abstract background with vibrant blue and red swirls. The image is framed by a blue and black border with the name 'MISTICO' prominently displayed.

Losses: 0 = 0
PPVWins: 1 = 3
PPVApps: 1 = 1
Tourn.Ws: 0 = 0

Mistico is a surprise entrance, usually I wouldn’t put someone on the list after just one match but he is a champion… so he kind has to be here. I hope we see a lot of Mistico, he’s phenomenal in the ring and now he’s a Trio’s Champion.

10. OKADA

Kazuchika Okada posing as the AEW International Champion with a championship belt, on a colorful abstract background.

Okada, despite now appearing so much in the ring, maintains a place in the Elite 15. I always look forward to an Okada match but they are very rare. I hope that changes in 2026.

Toni remains to be an absolute delight on the screen, character is still on point even without the title. Especially shown with her facial expressions to seeing Rhonda in the ring at Revolution. I love seeing her, whether it’s on the mic or in the ring. She continues to do the best character work in AEW.

7. LENA CROSS (Champions Advantage)

Lena is very fresh to AEW and I’m pretty sure she wasn’t meant to be the AEW Women’s Tag Team Champion when she arrived but she is now and we will accept it. SO far, she’s been great in the ring and I’m excited to see more of her.

6. FTR

Two professional wrestlers from All Elite Wrestling (AEW) posed intensely, showcasing their muscular physiques against a colorful, dynamic background with the text 'FTR' displayed prominently.

Tourn.Ws: 0 = 0

FTR are second only to Toni Storm in their character work. As heels FTR are so entertaining and I think they’ll hold the AEW Tag Titles until ALL IN. Who could possible beat them? No clue but until then I’m always entertained by FTR.

5. WILLOW NIGHTINGALE

A smiling female wrestler named Willow Nightingale is wearing two championship belts, one labeled 'TBS Champion' and the other 'Tag Team Champion,' against a colorful, dynamic background.

Willow is such as entertaining watch, her joy when wrestling is contagious and she’s a favourite of mine. I’m so happy she beat Mone for the title, there was no better choice. I hope she holds onto it for a long time, it’ll take a lot to beat her.

Thekla is another great addition to the roster and I’m very happy with everything she’s done. Perfect choice to beat Statlander, she’s great in the ring and great on the mic. I hope Thekla holds this belt for a long time, I think 2026 will be very TOXIC!

MJF, the people champion, our scumbag. It’s always special when MJF is in the ring, or on the mic. I’m not sure where his story is going after Revolution but I have no doubt it’ll be incredible and it’s what I’m most excited for going forward. vs Swerve at Dynasty? Kenny Omega? No bad options here.

2. KYLE FLETCHER

Fletcher is one of the best wrestlers on the planet right now and he continues to improve. Every match he has, Ciampa, Briscoe, Bailey, it doesn’t matter. Fletcher is the TNT Champion and I love that when he has a match, I’m guaranteed an incredible match.

1. JON MOXLEY

Jon Moxley is our No.1, still. No shock because the guy is the workhorse of AEW. Always the first match on the card at Dynamite, the man loves to wrestler and he lifted had a great 2025, a rocky start but a great end. Now he starts 2026 in a great way and now I wonder who can take his spot? Ospreay is coming…

This concludes our list. We will track everyone’s results and bring together a new Elite 15 soon! See you after Double or Nothing!
