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. 11-17, 2026 — TNA’s Bound for Glory PPV, New Japan’s King of Pro Wrestling event, Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, MLW Fusion, SmackDown, CMLL Women’s Grand Prix, AAA’s weekly show, AEW’s WrestleDream PPV, 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.
We were with you even before you installed rockets in the side of the case…

- Ms. Money in the Bank wasn’t as well-received, finishing behind the once-again WWE Women’s World champ and the King of the Ring.
- The OTC’s clean title defense earned your respect, and just a few more votes than the new WWE Women’s Tag champs.
- A very nice, very evil regular shared points with a Lady Shani impersonator before the WWE Men’s World Heavyweight champ grabbed out final one.

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!
