Fans vote for weekly pro wrestling performer rankings in latest poll

"

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 Sept. 6-12, 2026 — Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, Night one of AAA’s Triplemania, MLW Fusion, Collision, 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. Celebrate connections, and friendship, and joy. Celebrate life. And while you’re doing that, Tanea “Rebel” Brooks wants you to go here. You can also watch the 2021 house show “House Always Wins” show that Rebel (not Reba) and Andy “The Butcher” Williams wrestled on that our header image is taken from here. We celebrated WWE’s major title changes, too. Just after the bigger things. Then we went back to an old frenemy who came back to help celebrate those bigger things (and maybe more), and another WWE star who reclaimed a title. Then we rounded things out with WWE’s other Women’s World champ, AEW’s Women’s World champ, and two Dans who loved The Butcher very much. The CCWR: 2026-27, Week 21 1. Rebel 2. Andy “The Butcher” Williams 3. Sami Zayn 4. Stephanie Vaquer 5. Britt Baker 5. Trick Williams 7. Chelsea Green 8. Mercedes Moné 9. Danhausen 10. Daniel Garcia 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 a now two-time WWE champ passed the King of the Ring near the top of the Top 10, the Hot Mess broke a tie with the Genius of the Sky in the middle area, and The CEO knocked Fatal Influence’s leader from the Top 10 altogether… The Cageside Cup Performer of the Year Standings – through the Week ending Sept. 12 1. Danhausen – 129 2. Sami Zayn – 57 3. Oba Femi – 53 4. Chad Gable – 48 5. Darby Allin – 39 6. Chelsea Green – 37 7. IYO SKY – 33 8. Andrade El Ídolo – 32.5 9. Will Ospreay – 30.5 10.

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!
