Since PINACL's exception in April 2025, we have been carefully curating a list of the best-performing superstars throughout the year. Many factors influence where a superstar sits on our list. For one, the overall quality of a superstar's matches throughout the year will have the greatest effect on their ranking. The quality of a match is made up of a superstar's in-ring skill, chemistry with their opponent, and significance in its respective storyline. Nearly as important, a superstar's ability to tell a great story, value in a storyline, and the payoff for the superstar when a storyline has concluded will greatly affect a superstar's ranking as well. Other factors that account for a superstar's spot on the list are the superstar's charisma and connection to fans, availability and consistent booking, and finally, their draw and star power.
PINACL's Top 2025 includes three distinct rankings in which we look at 2025's top 25 men, women, and top 10 tag teams in the WWE.
