BOOK THE BEST TALENT

Holliday proved why he is one of the most in-demand independent wrestlers in North America with another jam-packed September. He carried the NWA Exodus Pro Championship into major marquee appearances, including headlining high-stakes GCW events against opponents like Willie Mack and Slade. His workhorse schedule, national territory reach, and steady main-event credibility retain his #2 standing.

Mason continues to elevate the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, defending the historic title across multiple promotions in September. High-profile main-event title defenses—including a wild televised championship clash against Carson B. Drake—keep his aura as a classic heavyweight champion intact. Carrying one of the sport's most prestigious titles on a national touring schedule holds him strong at #3.

Making the biggest debut on the list, the former Malakai Black stormed back onto the independent circuit with massive global impact. In September, he captured the PROGRESS Men's World Championship in Europe before officially dropping the moniker and declaring the return of his iconic "Tommy End" persona. His instant title success and massive marquee drawing power catapult him straight into the #4 spot.

Alexander's trajectory exploded internationally in September following an impressive run in Pro Wrestling NOAH's N-1 VICTORY tournament in Japan. Battling world-class international talent boosted his global credibility and proved he can stand toe-to-toe with the world's best. Surging momentum from his international tour powers his jump from #9 up to #5.
