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 June 14-20, 2026 — New Japan’s Dominion, Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, MLW Fusion, Collision, AAA & CMLL’s weekly 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.
There’s only one word to describe the whole Knickshausen phenomenon…
The CCWR: 2026-27, Week 8
1. Danhausen
2. Zaria
3. Penta
4. Chad Gable
5. Charlotte Flair
6. Swerve Strickland
7. Maya World
8. Andrade El Ídolo

Points in our weekly Rankings determine the ongoing annual one — which will determine who wins the Cageside Cup next April. Full details on rules and scoring HERE.
Where winning his first week gives our leader-hausen some breathing room when combined with all the smaller amounts he’s been collecting for placing in the Top Ten almost weekly so far this “year”, and lucha libre continues to put its stamp on this yea’s Standings…

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!
