Everybody who comes to Cageside Seats has an opinion about what’s going on in pro wrestling — Wrestler Rankings are where YOU let us know YOURS.
Cast a vote in the comments. Give us the five performers you think entertained or impressed the most in the last week, and feel free to talk about why.
We also have the outcome of last week’s voting, the results of which make up our annual competition for the Cageside Cup, given to our Performer of the Year.This week, we’re voting on nationally televised and
internet streaming pro wrestling shows that took place March 15-21, 2026 — AEW’s Revolution PPV, Raw, NXT, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, Collision, CMLL and AAA’s weekend shows, and everything else I’m no doubt forgetting.
But first, here’s the outcome of last week’s voting, and how those results changed our annual competition for the Cageside Cup.
That’s fine for you fancy video game folks, but we don’t rate them the same ‘round here…
- As they do in his Mexican homeland, we embrace the multi-lingual EGA who won Rey de Reyes last Saturday night.
- Part one of Undertaker’s latest lucha event was well represented in our Top Ten. The Mega champion came in second for his successful defense, and both Reina de Reinas champ and challenger nabbed spots farther down the Rankings.
- Speaking of challengers, we weren’t the only ones who loved it when Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania challenger broke bad. We just voted him into third place.
- The TNT champ had a successful defense heading into Revolution, back when he was also a Trios champ. A sibling of his in The Don Callis Family impressed against Mascara Dorado before his PPV bout, and got some selfies along the way.
- Along with the AAA Women’s titleholder, our last spot was shared by a WWE star from someplace far away, the luchador who defended his title against our winner on the Raw that was under consideration, and ZSJ for showing out in the New Japan Cup again.

Points in our weekly Rankings determine the ongoing annual one — which will determine who wins the Cageside Cup next April. Full details on rules and scoring HERE.
Where the Cup’s decided (and sadly, it would appear the winner’s point total is locked… and her odds of repeating not looking good), but where I’ll keep going through the motions if you will there’s still fun to be had down the stretch and other spots to be sorted. I mean just last week, El Sucio de los Sucios jumped into eighth to knock Sami Zayn out of the Top Ten!

Ready to do it again? You can always check the “how to” here if you need it, or ask a question in the comments. The main things you need to know are you have five spots on your ballot, you can’t put the same person in two of them, but you can split a single or multiple spots between multiple wrestlers. Now…
Let’s have those ballots! We’ll take it from there, and see you back here in a week for the results and another vote!
