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 four performers you think entertained or impressed the most in the last week, and feel free to talk about why. And/or vote for your top performer in our poll.
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 Nov. 6-12 — Raw, Dark: Elevation, Dark, NXT, Dynamite, Fusion, Powerrr, NXT UK, Impact, SmackDown, Rampage, Level Up, NJPW Strong, and anything else I’m forgetting.
But first, here’s the outcome of last week’s voting, and how those results changed our annual competition for the Cageside Cup.
In an interview with Verge UK (not to be confused with our fellow Vox site The Verge, whose coverage of the Elon-ification of Twitter has been amazing. But I digress...) prior to main eventing Crown Jewel, Logan Paul said:
“If the WWE fans don’t already respect me, after Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 5th, you will be forced to respect me. You might not like me. I might not be your favorite wrestler, but you will have to respect what I can do in that ring, and that’s my goal. I could give two ***** who likes me or not, but you will always acknowledge that when I get in that ring, you are going to be entertained. That’s my goal.”
Mission accomplished.

- God, that’s an awesome shot of last week’s first and second place finishers LARPing Dragon Ball Z in Saudi Arabia.
- He didn’t do much, but the Honorary Uce knows how to maximize his minutes.
- The Wrestler worked his first AEW match, and that he’s working any matches is pretty amazing. Collaborating on the All-Atlantic champ’s latest banger was just icing on the cake.
- Boom Boom made a statement, in more ways than one.
- Sometimes even the folks who are sick of seeing The EST win have to recognize the skills. She and the Ring General both made the Top Ten with successful title defenses.
- The AEW World champ got a few points for singlehandedly fighting The Firm, and Dr. Britt Baker’s heater picked up one for standing tall over the woman who’s title she hopes to take at Full Gear.
