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 July 26-Aug. 1, 2026 — AEW’s Redemption PPV, Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, MLW Fusion, Collision, Night One of SummerSlam, AAA & CMLL’s weekly shows, New Japan’s G1 36, 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. Triple H hasn’t said a lot fans online agree with lately, but we couldn’t argue with this quote from WWE Unreal season three: “Chelsea Green is at the top of the list of somebody that takes anything you give her, no matter how long, how short, how brief. She will turn that into something that you remember. There will be a moment in that match where you go, ‘Did you see when Chelsea Green did this?’” She didn’t need to turn sh*t into gold to do it, just qualify for SummerSlam’s interim Women’s title Ladder Match. Next was our annual leader, and the demon-man padded said lead… but a lot can happen in 38 or so weeks. He was followed by a man who’s a Demon himself sometimes who could earn a shot at WWE champ CM Punk. The then-#1 contender to the AEW Men’s World title (and reigning TNT champ) and the then-AEW Women’s World champion filled out the Top 5. Wrestling’s hottest brand crowned new Mixed Tag champs, and they tied for sixth. The Ruler added a few points to remain within striking distance in the Cageside Cup race-hausen, and the NXT Men’s champ and the SmackDown GM who was briefly a wrestler split up the rest of the week’s points. The CCWR: 2026-27, Week 14 1. Chelsea Green 2. Danhausen 3. Finn Bálor 4. Kevin Knight 5. Thekla 6. (tie) La Hiedra 6. (tie) Laredo Kid 8. Oba Femi 9. (tie) Nick Aldis 9. (tie) Tony D’Angelo 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.
