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 May 31-June 6, 2026 — WWE Clash in Italy, Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, MLW Fusion, Collision, AAA & CMLL’s weekly shows, New Japan’s BoSJ shows (but not Sunday’s final), 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.
A German impersonating an Americano pretending to be a Mexican, adored by wrestling fans around the world?
Qué gran momento para estar vivo.
- Our second place finisher’s umasking per tradition was as powerful as the match itself.
- We’ve got to give it to the S.O.B. Three World titles by 30 is a hell of a feat. It also helped the Devil grab a few more points than AEW’s new International champ, who also broke free from The Callis Family at Double or Nothing… although it cost him a friend.
- Next was our lone Top Ten finisher who wasn’t at that AEW PPV or AAA Noche de los Grandes. He’s Very Nice, Very Evil, and he’s ruining Miz’s life.
- From the world of Lucha Libre, we had AAA’s new World Cruiserweight and Latin American champs in sixth and tenth, respectively.
- From the world of Tony Khan, we had the Japanese star who’s still Continental champ (and still Don’s favorite), and a pair of my fellow Gen X-ers splitting a spot for winning their first tag titles together since before we all had to worry about having “dad bods”.

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!
