Tony Khan Explains Why FTR Isn’t Ranked In AEW Official Rankings
Each Wednesday, AEW provides fans with its official rankings to help determine who is in line for an upcoming title shot.
The rankings are based on win-loss record with level of competition supposedly factored in as well.
Though FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) are 4-0 in AEW with victories over Lucha Bros, Butcher & Blade, The Initiative, and SCU; the duo has not been ranked in the Top 5 of the official rankings. Private Party, who are 5-4, are currently ranked fifth.
Cash took to social media to seemingly question to legitimacy of the rankings without FTR being one of the top five teams.

AEW President Tony Khan explained why FTR is not ranked.
As I’ve told your attorney, you each need to sign your contracts before we can rank you in the top 5.
