PROGRESS Wrestling has announced the final match for Jimmy Havoc before their Wembley Arena show. The longest reigning Champion in PROGRESS’ history will be taking on his greatest rival, Will Ospreay. The match was actually originally scheduled to happen at the Wembley event in September. Unfortunately plans had to change due to Ospreay’s NJPW contract and a pre-existing date in Los Angeles.
The stakes in this bout are extremely high. Havoc has 2 wins in the ‘3 and In’ series, if he bests Ospreay then he goes into Wembley as Number 1 contender to the PROGRESS World Championship. Ospreay however has different plans and wants to end the man who he refers to now as ‘James,’ claiming that Havoc is a shell of his former self. Ospreay famously ended Havoc’s record title run at the top of PROGRESS at Chapter 20.
To add extra weight and precedence to the bout PROGRESS has announced a special guest referee. Former member of Havoc’s ‘REGRESSION’ stable and Ospreay’s longtime tag partner Paul Robinson will be the man in charge for this No DQ, 2 out of 3 falls match.
The two men that defined PROGRESS and put them on the global stage will be facing for possibly the final time. It. Ends. Here.
