Cageside Community Wrestler Rankings, Season 14: Week 48 results & Week 49 vote

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 22-28, 2026 — Raw, NXT, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, TNA Sacrifice, Collision, AAA & MLP’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.

I’ve criticized the man for the cheap heat promo rut he falls into at times, but gotta tip my hat to this one. Especially after that match, in that gear…

• The generational talent held onto the top spot despite a strong push for the new Speed Women’s champ from our always-very-supportive-of-women’s-wrestling voters.
• Stepping to and on Brock Lesnar is always gonna be good for at least third place, and in this case it was enough to edge out someone who stepped to Ronda Rousey before her dramatic write-off.
• The new WWE Tag champs were split in the Rankings by someone who might just be too sexy to keep playing rudo with The Don Callis Family.
• On the outside of WrestleMania 42 looking in right now, but we’ve always got room on our dance card for Melo vs. The Mad Dragon.
• Whether or not she avenged her lover will have to wait for sicko cybersleuths to solve The Timeless One’s case, but beating The Problem for a title shot got her a Rankings point.

Where our 14th winner’s point total was not locked as I incorrectly claimed it was last week… because I forgot Revolution fell during the last voting period (and how over she is with this community)… I still don’t like her odds though. The Ruler also bumped Je’Von Evans out of the Top Ten just like he used to bump him out of the NXT title scene…

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!
