Power Rankings Reset: 2026 Begins at Zero

Posted on January 12, 2026 by WrestleUTA.com in Category: News

After a defining 2025 campaign that saw momentum swing week-to-week and careers reshaped in real time, the slate has officially been wiped clean.

UTA has confirmed the 2026 Power Rankings have been reset—and with it, every competitor begins the new year at 0 points.

2025 gave us a year of separation: veterans proving why they’ve lasted, rising names forcing the conversation, and late-season surges that turned “maybe” into “must-watch.” It was a season where consistency mattered, where one big night could change everything, and where the climb never stopped once it started.

But now, none of that translates into a head start.

New year. New race. No cushion.

With Brand New Day approaching, the reset puts the entire roster on equal footing. That means the first statement win of 2026 isn’t just another result—it’s the opening claim to the top spot. The first standout performance isn’t just a highlight—it’s leverage. And the first person to stack points early can put the entire locker room in chase mode.

Last year built the legacy. This year determines who controls the pace.

2026 starts at zero.

Brand New Day is next—and the lead is wide open.
