2- They are the two best wrestlers.

3- They are the best two wrestlers.

1- They two are the best wrestlers. ❌
2- They are the two best wrestlers. ✅
3- They are the best two wrestlers. ✅
Both 2 and 3 are possible. 1 is wrong because you can't say "They two". You'd need "These two" or "Those two".
 
Do you want to say that they are the top two wrestlers in a certain group of wrestlers? If so, sentences 2 and 3 are possible.

Or do you want to say that there are two people in a group who are better at wrestling than the others, and they are those two?
 
You could alternately state that "They are the top two wrestlers."
