Mox murders the competition

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. 15-21, 2024 — Raw, NXT, Powerrr, Speed, Dynamite, Impact, Fusion, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, Rampage, Level Up, 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.

He may be a sick f***, but he knows how to make an entrance...

• Voters were on board with his plan to take Darby Allin’s World title shot, which helped him beat out the reluctant Bad Blood tag partners who split their supports’ ballots.
• The Youngest Men Alive made their Rankings debut, and no one split their votes on them.
• A WWE television debut, a successful Knockouts title defense, and winning the CMLL Women’s championship have us our female representation in the latest Top Ten.
• Setting up your first singles match in almost 13 years against your most historic rival was worth a few more votes than big timing the guy who handed you your biggest loss in recent memory.

Ready to do it again? You can always check the “how to” here if you need it, 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!
