PROGRESS has now made the Wembley Arena main event official. Inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate will challenge PROGRESS World Champion WALTER for the coveted title.
Bate contested as part of the ‘3 And In’ series over the past month to determine who the Number 1 contender would be. Super Strong Style 16 winner Zack Sabre Jr was originally scheduled to participate in the Wembley bout but could not due to his pre-existing NJPW contractual obligations. ZSJ will be taking part in a New Japan show in Los Angeles on September 30th, this is also the reason that the planned Will Ospreay vs Jimmy Havoc match was pushed to this past week.
Tickets are still available to purchase via AXS. This will be the biggest English Independent show in years and the following bouts are already signed:
- Eddie Dennis vs Mark Andrews
- Jimmy Havoc vs Paul Robinson
- Thunderb*stard Tag Team Title Match
- Ilja Dragunov vs Pete Dunne
- PROGRESS Women’s Title Match – Jinny (c) vs Millie McKenzie
It's happening. In less than a month, @Tyler_Bate will take on @WalterAUT for the PROGRESS World Championship in the main event at @ssearena. Tickets -> https://t.co/2jMP1QhmsX #ThisIsPROGRESS #HelloWembley pic.twitter.com/ikOrGCiVU0
