We also have the results of last week’s voting, the results of which form our annual competition for the Cageside Cupawarded to our artist of the year.

This week we’re voting on nationally televised and webcast pro wrestling shows that took place June 18-24 – Raw, NXT, Powerrr, dynamite, impact, merger, knock down, Rampage, level up, collisionand I’ll undoubtedly forget everything else.

But first, here are the results of last week’s voting and how those results have transformed our annual Cageside Cup competition.

A lot has changed in the last nine and a half years, but these guys are still at the top…

  • Roman Reign’s (for now at least) Right Hand Man scored 2.5 points more than One Bill Phil to secure first place.
  • Dynamite’s Eliminator draw earned its contestants two spots in the top six.
  • In between were the new TNT champion and the breakout star of the AEW women’s division.
  • Collision’s other two returns ended up in the back half of the top ten.
  • Rounding out our latest standings are NXT’s new Heritage Cup champion and the man looking to reclaim the IWGP title in the United States from New Japan in Toronto tonight.
