Cageside Community announces wrestler rankings following Week 10 results

"

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 28-July 4, 2026 — TNA Slammiversary, NXT Great American Bash, AEW x NJPW x CMLL x Stardom Forbidden Door, 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. Even a lot of us thought it wouldn’t happen champ… … very happy you proved us wrong. As a few of y’all pointed out, this was a one-sided vote that could have been called off halfway through if we were just crowning a winner and not working toward a Top Ten. In fact, the top four was pretty clear early on. The Night of Champions winner who claimed crowns in Saudi Arabia were obviously two and three behind the new champ. Fourth-hausen went to someone who hasn’t missed a Top Ten this year (probably why he’s leading the chase for the Cup-hausen). Finally reclaiming gold before the trip to the Middle East earned Street Profits the next two spots. Somebody didn’t have them tied though. Ties were the name of the game for the rest of our super-sized week. The new Evolve Women’s shared seventh with The Alpha, who was part of the winning Death’s Door team after a successful AEW International defense. ROH crowned new tag champs in Arena Mexico, and we celebrated the less famous Sky Team luchador for that. He shared ninth with two MVPs of their respective company’s women’s divisions. The CCWR: 2026-27, Week 10 1. Sami Zayn 2. Oba Femi 3. IYO SKY 4. Danhausen 5. Angelo Dawkins 6. Montez Ford 7. (tie) Konosuke Takeshita 7. (tie) Nikkita Lyons 9. (tie) Harley Cameron 9.

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!
