Being the Elite, the YouTube series that is partially responsible for the birth of All Elite Wrestling, hit a milestone 200th episode this week with the ultimate clash between Matt and Nick Jackson. Speaking of AEW, their rankings are out for this week, and they pose an interesting question for the AEW World Championship scene.

We take a look at the absurdity of Seth Rollins getting a WWE Championship match over Kevin Owens, and talk about how WWE could benefit from a ranking system.
