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 Feb. 8-14, 2026: Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, Collision Grand Slam Australia, 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.
This guy will appear anywhere…
… understandably, seeing as a whole lot of you said (wrote) his name on your comment ballot after he won the NXT title.
- The guy whose fundraising activities and World title shot brought political protest to A-E-Dub was closest to last week’s winner. He was followed by another big dog who’s looking to settle an old score in WWE, and someone who seemed to on his way to an AEW World title shot himself when you last voted.
- A successful Street Fight title defense got WWE’s Women’s World champ her first Rankings points in a while, then it was ties all the way down in our latest Top Ten!
- The Wonder of Stardom champ extended her year-long reign with a dislocated finger, and split sixth with the Timeless leader of our Cup chase as she marched towards a hair vs. hair mixed tag.
- Next was a man who really wasn’t working us about the end of his WWE contract, who held onto his MLW World title. That put him in a tie with an aging great whose quest to reclaim AEW’s top prize one more time is taking him to Swerve’s House.
- The WWE Women’s Tag champs shared a point for a successful SmackDown defense.

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!
