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 8-14, 2026 — 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.
Finding yourself on the right side of a curse is never a bad thing…

- A curse helped Rey Fenix’s brother win the WWE Intercontinental title and therefore finish finish in our latest Rankings. The very nice, very evil person who did the cursing was right behind him.
- Winning a title AND getting revenge against a backstabbing fake friend helped the new NXT Women’s North American champ land one spot above a tie between AEW’s Women’s World champ after a successful defense and the now three-time Undisputed WWE champ.
- The rising CMLL star who took Mercedes Moné’s belt in Arena Mexico led the procession of women who gave us the rest of our latest weekly Top Ten.
- Next was The Glamour, who after a rough stretch in NXT is reminding people whatever happened to Mariah May, then the Megasus, who had a singles win in Mexico and a tag win on Collision at the end of our last voting period.
- May’s ex doesn’t need wins to earn your votes. She was ninth, before the Queen of NXT Underground took our last Rankings point.

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!
