📋 Site Updates

A new First button has been added to the week selector alongside Current and Random. One tap takes you straight to Jun '19 — the very first week of EWR ratings — so you can see what the very first weeks of the EWR ratings looked like.

Every page now shows when the ratings data was last updated, so you always know how fresh the numbers are. It updates automatically each Wednesday when the weekly ratings drop.

Wrestler and team photos now show a colour-coded ring reflecting their rating tier — a quick visual signal alongside the numbers, live across rankings, all-time stats, search and individual stat pages.

How it works:

• Five tiers by rating: Bronze (120+), Silver (130+), Gold (140+) and Platinum (150+), with an untiered colour below 120
• Current Rankings rings on current rating; All-Time Stats and Wrestler Search ring on peak rating
• Individual wrestler/team pages show a dual ring — outer for career peak, inner for current rating — so you can see both at a glance
• Rank numbers in the rankings tables are coloured to match, and the Current Rating / Peak boxes on wrestler pages now match their ring too
• Inactive wrestlers are shown in a distinct muted blue on Wrestler Search and the inner ring of stat pages, separate from an active wrestler's rating tier

A short explainer video introducing the EWR project — what it is, how ratings work at a high level, and why match quality (not wins, losses or TV ratings) drives everything.

What's covered:

• Why ratings are based purely on match quality, sourced from thousands of Cagematch.net fan votes
• How every wrestler starts at 100 and gains or loses points based on match quality, opponents and match position
• Real examples — Will Ospreay vs Mark Davis (a great match, both wrestlers rise) and Mark Briscoe vs PAC (a weaker match, both wrestlers drop)
• The rating tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum
• Rankings updated every Wednesday, tracking every wrestler since AEW began in 2019

A dedicated search page for exploring the full EWR database across all five divisions — singles, tag and trios combined in one place.

What's included:

• Search by wrestler or team name, including individual member names for tag and trios teams
• Filter by division, status (active/inactive), year active, and previous ring names
• Faction display names shown throughout, with member names listed below each team card
• Sort by name, current rating, peak rating, or total weeks ranked — card stats update to match
• Previous ring names hidden by default to avoid duplicate entries, with a toggle to show them
• All filter settings preserved when navigating back from a wrestler's stats page

Tag and trios team names now reflect real-world factions where applicable. Instead of listing individual names, combinations of faction members display under their faction name — so Castagnoli, Moxley & Yuta becomes Death Riders, for example.

How it works:

• Any 2+ members of a faction competing together show the faction name
• Partial combos (a faction member teaming with an outsider) display as the faction name alongside the non-member's name
• Overrides preserved — teams with their own established identity (e.g. ProtoShita) keep their name even when members belong to a faction
• Historically accurate — faction membership is applied week-by-week, so archive weeks reflect the correct groupings for that period

Faction names appear across the main rankings, the statistics tab, recently dropped out sections, and individual wrestler pages.

A brand-new Championships page is now live, tracking the prestige of every AEW title through the same match-quality rating system used for the wrestler rankings.

Rather than tracking wins and losses, title prestige is measured by the quality of championship defenses — a title defended in a string of highly-rated matches climbs the rankings; one with forgettable defenses drifts back toward the baseline.

What's on the page:

• All active AEW championships ranked by current rating
• Belt icons colour-coded by title (gold for AEW titles, silver for non-AEW)
• Sortable columns — rank, rating, streak, change, and more
• Toggle between Current Reign and All-Time stats for each title
• Peak and floor ratings for both the current reign and historical all-time records
• Best and worst individual match ratings per reign
• Week archive navigation — browse any week back to June 2019
• "Recently Dropped Out" section for titles that have gone inactive
• Mobile-friendly horizontal scroll
