January 2026


February 2026


March 2026

I'm trying to get round to updating everything after a pretty tumultuous couple of weeks.

Records, archives, and even the FAQ all need an update, on top of a few other bells and whistle things. But here's a rundown of the first month of 2026!

---

AAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD NNNNNEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

• Kieran King
  With the Universal Championship around his waist, Kieran King claims his first month at the top of the rankings list! And with putting his title on the line during March Madness, either he rises to greater heights, or he takes a pretty nasty fall. It's either extreme for the king.

Biggest ranking rise:

• El Landerson - +6
  On back to back PPVs, the Bit Luchador has come away with a win. And with an Anarchy Tag Title shot earned, it's seen him rise a potentially surprising amount of places this month!

Highest return/debut:

• The Director - 19
  The only new face in this month's list, but it's one where I really wasn't sure where they were going to land when they eventually became eligible. Already a former Anarchy Tag Team Champion, The Director seems to have their sights on tag gold again. Can they do it?

Keep your eyes on:

• Kristoffer Arroyo
  I say this every month, but losing the Anarchy Title on PPV really took a dent out of Vamp's ratings and rankings. To this historian's memory, that's the only singles match they've lost. It's not a matter of if Arroyo climbs from there, it's how high.
• Sebastian Everett-Bryce
  Consolidating his grip on the tag team title scene, a new future awaits the 2x Universal Champion, current tag team champion and... 24/7 Briefcase holder. Sure to be one of the favourites to win the first March Madness he's ever competed in, SEB could be back on top any day now - not that he ever fell far from it to begin with.
• XXXVI
  AAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSTTTTTTTIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLL! When will XXXVI's Revolution title reign end? Well... with Betsy Granger as the number one contender and Matthias Syn popping up again, XXXVI's run will either end soon, or rise to greater heights than ever. I'm excited to see which!

Updated for February 2026!

I've touched up the other supporting stuff for these rankings too in the various other threads. Still have to do archiving though.

This is a bit later than intended but life has been very lifey lately.

Check out some highlights for what wound up being a weird month below. Note: Warfare and Anarchy from this week aren't included - they'll be next month and are already promising some shake ups!

Biggest rankings increase

• Reggie Estrada +4 
  With a win over Ennui Clown getting him back on track, and a few other names falling off the list, Reggie Estrada climbs up four places. Will the multiple time X-Treme Champion keep climbing?

Highest debut/return

• Game Girl - 3
  A sleeper in the rankings for a while now who often ticks up a few matches but then drops off a list, Game Girl last appeared in the rankings about a year ago and has actually been at number one previously, when the list was very short. But, it was also hard to argue. They don't win every match, but what they are really good at is winning in big moments. They got a bump at War Games this year, and are still carrying some points from way back at War Games 2022 even - which was before the points for that event were modified last year.

Keep your eyes on

• The remaining March Madness tournament competitors
  Obviously Micheal Graves is one to watch in the next rankings, but given the PPV will also be included, Scoops McGee and Dickie Watson could both get huge lifts as well. Asher Hayes, meanwhile could affect the rankings of Graves, and either Scoops or Dickie, but is unlikely to have enough matches under his belt to qualify for the list.
• Kristoffer Arroyo 
  I feel like I keep saying this, but he's almost back above 1600 after War Games, which is much more apt for where he should be. I'd argue even higher, but maybe once he gets back over that mark I'll stop naming here each time.

Original post updated for March 2026!

With the March Madness tournament in play, I had no idea how this month was going to play out! A LOT of highlights to point out this month...

---

AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD NNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!

• Dickie Watson - Number 1
  Returning to the top of the ELO(N) rankings is an interesting position for Dickie Watson, who was eliminated in the semi-finals of the March Madness tournament and experienced a net loss of ratings points for the month as a result. But with the previous number one, Kieran King, losing more points across the month, and Dickie being far enough ahead of the rest of the pack after some phenomenal performances late last year, Dickie gets the nod. He might not have the Universal Championship or the King of the XWF, but he's still Dickie fucking Watson.

Biggest rankings increase

• Mr. Oz - +5
  Oz is one of the characters who got punished a bit by War Games back in November, and he's been steadily increasing his rating since. A solid undefeated month, including a handicap win on PPV (beating 2 people by yourself looks good for ratings) sees him climb 5 places this month! Will he keep going up?

WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

• Scoops McGee - 2000 points!
  It may not have been enough to get to number one, but winning March Madness (on the back of also being the winning captain of War Games last year) sees Scoops McGee skyrocket up in ratings points and join the 2000 Club. Being only 5 points away from Dickie Watson, Scoops could very well see himself topping the list in no time!
• Game Girl - 2000 points!
  A dark horse for a long time in the rankings, Game Girl holds steady in third but finally crosses the 2000 point threshold alongside her sometimes tag partner Scoops! Only once before have two people joined the 2000 Club at the same time, and interestingly, they are the other two names at the top of the list. It's been a long time since four people have been in striking distance of number one! Game Girl has been there before. Will she get there again?

Highest debut/return

• Jenny Myst - 11
  It's great to see Jenny Myst back in the ELO(N) rankings, and with a couple of X-Treme Title reigns already under her belt since returning, it's no wonder she's the highest return or debut this month. The thing is... Jenny's also already claimed a massive scalp in terms of rankings, when she won her first round match of March Madness. So 11 doesn't seem to be the limit for Jenny at all. I'm eager to see how high she climbs!

New personal best!

• Centurion - 145 matches
  There's a reason that Centurion is a legend. As the man with the most matches in XWF history, this is split between eras and solid record keeping for anything pre-2013 is impossible. But since returning in 2019, Centurion has ticked up 145 matches! Why is this important? Because this month that breaks him into the Top 5 most matches in XWF ELO(N)'s records!

Keep your eyes on:

• Micheal Graves
  The cat's out of the bag. "The Dark Warrior" has long been a mainstay of the main event scene on Anarchy, but hadn't quite broken through to that same level on Warfare. Now he has. A two week reign as Universal Champion is surely only going to wet the appetite. Micheal Graves is a bonafide top guy, and even though his finals loss saw his ratings get undercut here a bit, Gravy is no doubt moving towards the 5.
• Isaiah King
  Several losses on PPV in a row has really dented the stocks of Isaiah King. But we all know what he's capable of. Isaiah is a two-time Universal Champion, a War Games winner, and in my opinion, a future Hall of Legends candidate. To see him at 18 is astonishing. As soon as he's ready, Isaiah has all the tools to climb again.
• Kristoffer Arroyo
  Obligatory Vamp mention. Like Oz, he's been slowly increasing his rating since War Games. He's ranked 15 now, but the sky is not even close to the limit for him. Good thing he's not dead, eh?
