Cageside Community Wrestler Rankings, Season 14: Week 37 results & Week 38 vote

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 Jan. 4-10, 2026: New Japan’s Wrestle Kingdom 20 and New Year Dash!!, Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, 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.

Two belts and a reunion with an old friend…

… nothing some things matter, smile anyway.

• The new and now-two-time WWE Women’s U.S. champ was right behind the new and now-two-time AEW TBS champ.
• Returning to WWE under his shoot name earned the former Zack Ryder third place, right in front of the new and now-nine-time WWE Tag champs.
• A man then on a warpath to the WWE title was next, followed by a man who seems to be on his own path with AEW’s Continental crown.
• Putting Aleister Black in an ambulance earned eighth place, and the new GHC Women’s champ grabbed ninth. Then a pair of old friends-turned-rivals split a point from their new home on SmackDown.

Ready to do it again? You can always check the “how to” here if you need to, or ask a question in the comments. 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!
