PROGRESS Wrestling has announced a top international star for Chapter 78. wXw Unified Champion Ilja Dragunov will be heading to the O2 Ritz on November 11th.

Former promoter of Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) Christian Michael Jakobi appeared during PROGRESS Wrestling’s Super Strong Style 16 event earlier this year and challenged the reigning WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne to a bout against the wXw World United Heavyweight Champion. This match took place at Wembley Arena and Dunne was victorious via submission.

Dragunov became the wXw Champion during the company’s 16 Carat Gold 2018 event back in March of this year, he defeated then Champion John Klinger and WWE linked star WALTER in an incredible bout that headlined day two of the tournament. This marked the return of Dragunov to the company and he received a thunderous reception from the wXw fanbase.
PROGRESS has yet to announce Dragunov’s opponent. A rematch against Dunne is possible but with NXT UK starting this week the focus may shift to non-WWE affiliated talent.
