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 Oct. 4-10, 2026 — Raw, NXT, Evolve, Worlds Collide Chicago, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, MLW Fusion, SmackDown, CMLL & AAA’s weekly shows, WWE’s Money in the Bank PLE, Collision, 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.
- In addition to honoring him with the top spot, much of our latest Top Ten is a tribute to the late Benjamin Satterley, and how his friends and colleagues paid tribute to him while they were grieving.
- That includes two current and two former teammates on Death Riders.
- Fifth place could be due to his qualifying for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, or his bond with Satterley that went back to NXT and the indies.
- Our seventh place finisher definitely knew the Jumpin’ Geordie as well, but he gets points every week.
- Our final spots went to folks with no ties to the Man Gravity Forgot that I’m aware of, but the show goes on. And on those shows, the Dirty One picked up tag wins on both the WWE brands he works regularly, and the newest 946 member showed up on Raw to try her hand at vehicular homicide.

Ready to do it again? You can always check the “how to” here if you need to, 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!
