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 April 5-12, 2026 — Raw, NXT, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, TNA Rebellion, Collision, AAA & CMLL’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.
Hey champ…
- Top three spots went to new champs from Stand & Deliver and Sakura Genesis, in descending order of how many on the wrestle web would rank the belts in question.
- Everyone loves that you-know-who-hausen, and it seems like everybody around her loves the NXT Women’s North American champ… even when she doesn’t hold gold.
- Jet’s partner picked up wins with him in Mexico, and we were again impressed by the former Evolve Women’s champ as she lost a Triple Threat to this week’s winner.
- We always want to talk about our eighth place finisher, who finished in front of one-half of the very over IWGP Tag champs.
- The Broken One and Bruv split our last point.

Where nothing’s changing in the Top Ten, but it will be interesting to see if our recently debuted Very Nice, Very Evil fave can crack that before our season ends in a little more than a week…

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!
