WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including why the AEW rankings system doesn’t work.
Ray said, “All the rankings do is pigeonhole creative. Rankings have not worked from day one in AEW. Then we get the rankings and then they go away, then we get the rankings and then this last go-around a couple of months ago, where Tony Khan was putting the rankings up once every month. I believe we saw them for two months and then they went away again. The rankings in AEW mean absolutely zero, nothing, nil, garbage, throw them away. They’re only hurting you and your ability to do whatever the hell you want and be creative with your roster.”
