Do you ever feel like your voice isn't heard when it comes to professional wrestling? Well, at Cageside Seats, we believe everyone's opinion matters! That's precisely why we created the Cageside Community Wrestler Rankings (CCWR) – a place where you get to decide who truly shone in the squared circle.
This is your chance to shape the narrative!
It's time to cast your votes for Week 30! Tell us which five wrestlers blew you away with their performances, captivating storylines, or sheer impressiveness over the past week. Don't just list names; tell us why they earned your vote! We want to hear your reasoning and ignite some passionate discussions.
But before you dive into this week's voting, let's recap the electrifying results from Week 29 and see how they've impacted the coveted Cageside Cup race! The Cageside Cup, for those new to the game, is our annual award recognizing the Performer of the Year (check out the details from last year's competition here: https://www.cagesideseats.com/2025/4/25/24414887/wrestler-of-the-year-cm-punk-fan-vote-rankings-wwe-aew-new-japan-impact-roh-indies).
This week's voting (Week 30) covers all nationally televised and internet-streamed wrestling shows from November 9th to November 15th, 2025. That includes the big ones: Raw, NXT, Evolve, Dynamite, Impact, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, TNA Turning Point, Collision... and probably a few we're forgetting! (Let us know in the comments if we missed any!)
Week 29: A Recap of the Action
Last week saw some surprising upsets and dominant performances. Here's a quick rundown of how the voting shook out and how it impacted the Cageside Cup standings:
- Our new WWE Women’s U.S. Champion is making waves, and even her AAA Mixed Tag partner got some recognition, picking up a few points for the week. Talk about a power couple!
- The WWE Men's U.S. titleholder continues his impressive run, consistently raising the bar. Even the wrestler who stepped up to his open challenge managed to snag a piece of the points pie. This shows not only the champ's dominance but also the opportunities he's creating for others. This is a great example of how even in defeat, a wrestler can gain valuable recognition.
- An NXT star, recently promoted, made a huge splash on SmackDown, outperforming even the new NOAH World Champion and the reigning champs from Stardom and New Japan. But here's where it gets controversial... Should a newer wrestler really be ranked above established champions from other promotions? What do you think?
- One half of the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions shared sixth place with an AEW 'Babe of Wrath', while a member of The Callis Family claimed the eighth spot. A real mix of styles and promotions!
- And in a three-way tie for tenth, we saw a returning lucha legend alongside a former ROH champ who's becoming a major headache for Jon Moxley. That former ROH champ is really proving that no matter where you wrestle, you can still be a major player.

The Cageside Cup Performer of the Year Standings - Through Week Ending Nov. 9
And here's how the top contenders are stacking up in the overall Cageside Cup standings:
- Toni Storm - 96
- Stephanie Vaquer - 55.5
- Seth Rollins - 52
- (tie) Naomi - 49
- (tie) CM Punk - 49
- Hangman Page - 48
- John Cena - 47.5
- Gunther - 34
- Jacob Fatu - 32.5
- Dominik Mysterio - 31.08
Interestingly, none of last week's Weekly Top Ten finishers were anywhere near the Annual Top Ten, so there were no changes to the overall standings. And this is the part most people miss... Consistency is key! A single great week might get you noticed, but it's sustained excellence that wins championships (and Cageside Cups!).
