Key Elements:
• Millie McKenzie makes her long awaited return to PROGRESS Wrestling in the city she calls home. Laura Di Matteo is ready to spoil the welcoming.
• Four of the best up and coming and future stars do battle in the last qualification match for the Natural Progression Series. Tom Thelwell is likely to be booed out of the building whilst Hari Singh performs in front of a hometown crowd. Peter Tihanyi from Hungary is definitely someone to watch and Alexander Roth has a chance to shine.
• Aussie Open also make a return to PROGRESS, where they have held the Tag Title Championship in the past. As they look to start back on that journey one of the new contenders to the throne, in CPF’s Danny Black and Maverick Mayhew, stand in their way.
• Gene Munny is still the Gene Munny Champion of Gene Munny. Shigehiro Irie may not be facing him for that title, but this will be the immovable object meeting the irresistible force. Which is which?
• To round out the last of the returns, to both PROGRESS and to the Midlands, Chris Brookes brings his CDK tag partner Masahiro Takanashi with him to face his old tag partner, Kid Lykos, and his current tag partner, Kid Lykos II.
• In the first of four title matches, Big Damo, fresh from the unjust loss of his PROGRESS World Championship at the hands of spike Trivet, has a chance at more gold when he meets North West Strong’s ever impressive Luke Jacobs for the PROGRESS Atlas Championship.
• Violence Is Forever make their debut in PROGRESS Wrestling, and what a challenge they have when they face Sunshine Machine for the PROGRESS tag team titles. Coming in with a fierce reputation will TK Cooper and Chuck Mambo who think they know how to handle Dominic Garrini and Kevin Ku.
• PROGRESS Women’s World Champion Kanji now has to face the Queen of Mean and the never quiet Lana Austin. Lana will come with the Lana Austin Experience in the form of Skye Smitson and LA Taylor in her corner. Will this change the odds in favour of Lana against the popular defending champion?
• Man Like Dereiss, fresh off an amazing multi-man victory at Chapter 141 will now get his chance to take the PROGRESS World Championship from Spike Trivet and celebrate it in Birmingham, the literal home of the 0121. There are none more conniving than Spike Trivet so Dereiss will need every single fan in attendance having his back. Will the mysterious Bullit be helping the Sovereign Lord defend his title again?
