Who truly deserves the title of wrestling's best? That's the question at the heart of the Cageside Community Wrestler Rankings, and it's up to you to decide. Every vote counts in this ongoing battle for supremacy, where the most entertaining and impressive performers rise to the top. But here's where it gets controversial: with so many incredible athletes across promotions, who will you choose as your top five? And this is the part most people miss: your votes don't just determine weekly rankings, they also contribute to the prestigious Cageside Cup, awarded to the Performer of the Year.
Let's dive into the results from Week 39, where the competition was fiercer than ever. Mike Santana claimed the top spot, followed closely by Carmelo Hayes. In a surprising twist, Toni Storm and Trick Williams shared third place, proving that tag team divisions can be a launching pad for individual stardom. The new AEW Trios champions secured spots five through seven, showcasing their dominance as a unit. Meanwhile, 'The Career Killer' edged out AJ Styles, while the new CMLL Japan Women’s champion and the #1 contender for the Undisputed WWE title split the final point, highlighting the global reach of this competition.
Is AEW underutilizing their Timeless starlet in the tag division, or is this the perfect platform for her to shine? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Now, it's your turn to have your say! Cast your vote for the wrestlers who impressed you most from January 18-24, 2026. This includes performances from Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, Collision, Saturday Night’s Main Event, CMLL, AAA, and countless other promotions. Remember, you have five spots on your ballot, and while you can't vote for the same wrestler twice, you can split votes between multiple performers.
