PROGRESS has announced the main event for their next Chapter event taking place at the O2 Ritz in Manchester: ‘Bang The Drum.’
A number 1 contenders match took place at Chapter 47 between Mark Andrews and Mark Haskins, the bout ended in a draw and thus a triple threat match has been announced for ‘Bang The Drum.’
Andrews and Haskins are both former PROGRESS Champions and have the opportunity to become only the second 2-time PROGRESS Champion in company history behind ‘The Villain’ Marty Scurll.
Current Champion Pete Dunne has been THE story of 2017 on the UK scene and the WWE UK competitor will be looking to solidify himself as the best in PROGRESS.

WWE UK Division competitor Pete Dunne will be challenging for Insane Championship Wrestling’s World Heavyweight title this Sunday.
Dunne will be taking on current champion and WOS roster member Joe Coffey. Coffey won the belt back at ICW’s Barramania event against Pete Dunne’s British Strong Style stable mate Trent Seven.
Expect this to be a knock down, drag out brawl between two of the UK’s most hard hitting competitors. It also holds extra significance as Coffey is a member of the World of Sport roster and rumours continue to persist of an ICW/WWE partnership on the WWE Network.

Finn Balor took to Twitter during Over The Top (OTT) Wrestling’s Scrappermania Event to show support for the Irish based promotion that he called home for many years.
One of the main draws of the Scrappermania show was The Young Bucks who touted their huge successes over the weekend as part of their UK tour with Kenny Omega. This included the latest show of their ‘Being The Elite’ series featuring WWE UK Competitors Tyler Bate, Trent Seven and Pete Dunne

Here are the results from PROGRESS’ United States debut event: #ProgressOrlando. The show took place at the Orlando Live Events Centre to a crowd of around 1,200 fans.
Zack Sabre Jr b. Jimmy Havoc – Zack Sabre Jr took the win via pinfall against longtime friend and longest reigning PROGRESS Champion in company history; Jimmy Havoc
James Drake b. Spud – Drake records his third straight win in a PROGRESS ring, after the match he continued to attack Spud
Jinny b. Toni Storm – Natural Progression Series finalist Jinny took the win to give her the momentum heading in to the final to crown the first ever PROGRESS Women’s Champion
South Pacific Power Trip (TK Cooper & Travis Banks) w/ Dahlia Black b. Shane Strickland & Sami Callihan – The SPPT continue their dominant form with an impressive win over Strickland/Callihan. Travis Banks looks set to have his biggest year ever and there is a good chance that he wins the Super Strong Style 16 tournament in July/August
PROGRESS Atlas Championship Match – Matt Riddle b. Trent Seven – Riddle applied the Bromission in something of an upset. Many were predicting that Trent take the ATLAS title as the British Strong Style stable look to dominate the PROGRESS title scenes.
WWE United Kingdom Championship Match – Tyler Bate b. Mark Andrews – Bate records his first championship defence outside of a WWE/NXT ring against an impressive Mark Andrews, certainly one for the history books
PROGRESS Championship Match – Pete Dunne b. Mark Haskins – Who is left for Pete Dunne to defeat? After this submission win against Mark Haskins the well has run pretty dry in the PROGRESS Championship scene, possibly a chance for a new main eventer to rise?

PROGRESS Wrestling hosted their 46th Chapter event this past Sunday. ‘I Like to Chill out Here and Shoot some Dinosaurs’ took place at a sold out Electric Ballroom in Camden, London and featured one of the most stacked cards in company history. Here are the results:
The Origin (Nathan Cruz & Zack Gibson) b. The Origin ‘Banter Edition’ (Dave Mastiff & El Ligero) – The long standing Origin stable officially imploded in a fun opening bout which ended with a double lung blower from Cruz/Gibson for the win
Natural Progression Series IV Semi Final Match – Toni Storm b. Dahlia Black – Despite TK Cooper’s attempted interference Storm hit a Piledriver to secure a place in the Natural Progression final against Jinny. The winner of that bout will be crowned the first ever PROGRESS Women’s champion. Unfortunately after the match it transpired that Dahlia Black had broken her ankle:

Travis Banks b. Jack Sexsmith – Banks took the win after a fantastic back and forth match that further solidifies Jack Sexsmith as one of the rising stars on the UK scene.
Mark Haskins b. Axel Dieter Jr. – After a technical showcase Haskins took the win with his Sharpshooter variant
Loser Leaves PROGRESS Fans Bring The Weapons Match – Jimmy Havoc b. Will Ospreay – Before the bout Ospreay demanded that it be changed to a ‘loser leaves PROGRESS’ match. Company co-owner Jim Smallman agreed and after 3 Barbed Wire Acid Rainmakers Will Ospreay’s PROGRESS Career is seemingly over.
PROGRESS Tag Team Title Match – Trent Seven & Tyler Bate (c) b. The Hunter Brothers – British Strong Style unveiled a brand new set of Tag Team belts to replace the company’s Tag Team Shields. BSS retained their newly designed belts (which you can see below).

PROGRESS Atlas Title Match – Matt Riddle (c) b. WALTER – Riddle successfully defended his ATLAS title via submission
PROGRESS World Title Match – Pete Dunne (c) b. Mark Andrews – After a match marred with controversy (and a false finish) Pete Dunne leaves once again with the PROGRESS title around his waist.

Hot off the heels of their Chapter 45 show in Manchester; PROGRESS have announced the Main Event and undercard for their Chapter 46 Show ‘I Like to Chill Out Here and Shoot Some Dinosaurs’ (a phrase coined by Mark Haskin’s son in a recent PROGRESS documentary). The scheduled matches are as follows:
- PROGRESS Championship Match: Pete Dunne (c) vs Mark Andrews – After his hellacious death match with Jimmy Havoc at Chapter 45 the PROGRESS Champion Pete Dunne is set to defend his title against one of the best high flyers in the game, Mark Andrews. Mandrews earned this shot by winning the Thunderb*stard match this year but with Dunne proving himself as an extremely creedal champion during his first run with the title it is unlikely that he loses it.
- The Origin (Zack Gibson & Nathan Cruz) vs The Origin ‘Banter Edition’ (El Ligero & Dave Mastiff) – El Ligero has spent the last two chapter events taking on his former tag team partners in the Origin: Zack Gibson and Nathan Cruz. The ‘Banter Edition’ of the Origin – Mastiff & Ligero have been winning over the PROGRESS fans recently and Cruz/Gibson have not taken kindly to this, so it all finally comes to a head this Sunday at Chapter 46.
Other matches announced include:
- ATLAS Championship Match: Matt Riddle (c) vs WALTER
- Mark Haskins vs Axel Dieter JR
- Travis Banks vs Jack Sexsmith
- Natural Progression Series Semi-Final: Toni Storm vs Dahlia Black
- PROGRESS Tag Team Title Match: British Strong Style (c) vs The Hunter Brothers

Here are the results from PROGRESS Wrestling’s latest Chapter event – Galvanize. The show took place at the O2 Ritz in Manchester in front of a sold out crowd:
PROGRESS Tag Team Championship Match – British Strong Style (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) b. Travis Banks & TK Cooper – The WWE UK Division competitors Seven & Bate successfully retained their Tag Team Title Shields against the South Pacific Power Trip.
Zack Gibson b. El Ligero – Gibson took the win against his former Origin stablemate using his ‘Helter Skelter’ signature move. Nathan Cruz appeared during the match to distract Ligero leading to the finish.
James Drake b. Jack Sexsmith – Sexsmith continues to prove himself as a viable competitor in PROGRESS even with this loss against Drake. This is Drake’s second win in as many Chapter appearances and he looks set to make a big impact in PROGRESS this year.
Mark Andrews b. Will Ospreay – The Number 1 Contender to the PROGRESS Championship Mark Andrews continues his hot streak with a win over NJPW star Ospreay. After the match Jimmy Havoc appeared to beat down the Aerial Assassin Will Ospreay in an attempt to stop him interfering in the main event.
Ringkampf (Walter & Axel Dieter Jr) b. The Hunter Brothers – wXw heroes Ringkampf continue to prove their worth to the PROGRESS faithful with a win over the Hunter Brothers
Flash Morgan Webster b. Nathan Cruz – Morgan Webster picks up the win in his first singles appearance for the company since his long layoff with injury. Cruz has now lost two in a row at Chapter events and he took his anger out on ‘Flash’ after the bout.
Jinny b. Nixon Newell – Jinny defeated NXT bound Nixon Newell to advance to the final of the Natural Progression series, she looks set to win the tournament and become the first ever PROGRESS Women’s Champion.
PROGRESS Championship Match – Pete Dunne b. Jimmy Havoc – Dunne retained his championship in an incredible deathmatch that involved thumbtacks, tables, barbed wire and an interfering Will Ospreay. After the bout Ospreay laid out Havoc and screamed ‘THIS HAS TO END.’

Fight Club: Pro just held arguably the biggest weekend of the company’s existence with two nights in the illustrious Fixxion Warehouse in Wolverhampton, England. Dubbed ‘Rise Against’ and ‘The First Female of Fight Club’ the two nights showcased the best that Fight Club has to offer and made for a fitting farewell for one of the most beloved competitors ever to step foot in the Fixxion.
Here are the results from Friday Night’s Rise Against show:
- ‘Session Moth’ Martina b. Chief Deputy Dunne by Homicide.
- Fatal Four Way Match: The Dunnedertaker (Damian Dunne) (w/Martina) b. Clint Margera, Dan Moloney and David Starr via Pinfall.
- Candice LeRae b. Kay Lee Ray via Pinfall.
- The Hunter Brothers (Jim Hunter & Lee Hunter) b. Joe Coffey & Omari via Pinfall
- British Rounds Match: Jimmy Havoc b. Mikey Whiplash in Round 5.
- Chris Brookes b. Nixon Newell via Pinfall.
- British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) b. Travis Banks, Will Ospreay & Wolfgang via Pinfall.
Before the British Strong Style match the three men (who have recently signed contracts with the WWE) re-enacted Triple H’s entrance in tribute:
Here are the results from Saturday Night’s First Female of Fight Club show:
- Fatal Four Way Match: David Starr b. Dan Maloney, Killian Jacobs and Omari

- #CCK (Chris Brookes & Kid Lykos) b. Clint Margera & Jimmy Havoc
- Mark Haskins & Will Ospreay b. Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven & Tyler Bate
- Nixon Newell b. Candice LeRae
- Fight Club: Pro Title Match: Travis Banks b. Pete Dunne (c)
This show was hugely notable for two reasons. 1) This was Nixon Newell’s final FCP appearance before she departs for the WWE Performance Center in April and 2) after an arduous journey to reclaim his title Travis Banks has regained the Fight Club: Pro gold.

PROGRESS have announced two more bouts for their upcoming Chapter 45 event: ‘Galvanise.’
‘Flash’ Morgan Webster made his in-ring return at Chapter 44 when he teamed with Mark Haskins and Jimmy Havoc against British Strong Style. Although his team took the win it was Havoc that secured the winning pinfall, therefore Webster missed out on a PROGRESS title shot. His opponent for Chapter 44 will be Nathan Cruz, who himself lost at Chapter 44 against his former Origin stable mate El Ligero.
There is a lot at stake in this bout, the uncertain future of WWE contracted talents such as PROGRESS Champion Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews, Trent Seven and WWE UK Champion Tyler Bate opens the door for the next batch of possible main eventers to shine and there is certainly an opportunity for both of these performers to move up to that next level if necessary.
The next announced match is a Semi-Final bout in the Natural Progression Series tournament. This is the first Women’s tournament in company history and the winner will be crowned the first ever PROGRESS Women’s Champion.
Crowd favourite Nixon Newell will be taking on ‘heat magnet’ Jinny. This is Jinny’s first Chapter match in quite some time and she is likely to be win the entire tournament, a win for Nixon would be considered a huge upset but as PROGRESS are looking to establish their official Women’s division surprises could be in store.

ICW recently announced the appearances of two top UK performers for their On Demand Fight Club show in March.
WWE UK Champion Tyler Bate and WWE UK Tournament Runner Up Pete Dunne will be making appearances for the company on March 19th and March 11th respectively.
Dunne’s appearance for the company at the Motion in Bristol will be his debut for ICW. It is especially telling that the majority of the WWE UK Tournament competitors are now beginning to make regular appearances for ICW as rumours of an ICW/WWE Network deal are still apparently in the works.

One of the biggest matches in PROGRESS history took place this past Sunday at Chapter 44 ‘Old Man Yells at Cloud’ as Jimmy Havoc became the Number 1 Contender to Pete Dunne’s PROGRESS Championship.
As part of a 6-man tag team bout fan favourite Havoc pinned Dunne (a member of the stable British Strong Style) to earn himself a title match with a stipulation of his choosing. Havoc opted to cash in his title opportunity against the ‘Bruiserweight’ at Chapter 45: ‘Galvanise.’
It has also been confirmed that the match will be contested under ‘No DQ’ rules, which will suit Deathmatch specialist Jimmy Havoc. This match looks set to be an extremely bloody affair.
The second bout announced for Chapter 45 is for the PROGRESS Tag Team Championships. WWE UK Champion Tyler Bate and his British Strong Style teammate Trent Seven will be taking on the South Pacific Power Trip (TK Cooper and Travis Banks).
Travis Banks made his singles debut for PROGRESS at Chapter 44 in an excellent showing against fellow debutant Jordan Devlin, chances are that this may well be the breakup of the SPPT team as Banks looks set to be one of the breakout stars for PROGRESS in 2017.

Here are the results from PROGRESS’ Chapter 44 event ‘Old Man Yells At Cloud.’ The show took place at a sold out Electric Ballroom in Camden, UK.
James Drake b. Damon Moser – This was a relatively shot match that saw WWE UK Tournament competitor James Drake won with the Mr Mayhem DDT. There are reports that Moser was injured during the bout thus the quick conclusion.
Dahlia Black (w/TK Cooper) b. Martina the Session Moth – This was a 1st round match in the Natural Progression Series to crown the first ever PROGRESS Women’s Champion as well as being Martina’s debut match for the company. Black took the win when TK Cooper interfered and cost Martina the bout
Travis Banks b. Jordan Devlin – Another PROGRESS debut here as WWE Tournament Competitor Jordan Devlin looked to beat tag team specialist Banks. Travis took the win after hitting a Buzzsaw Kick.
Pastor William Eaver b. Sebastian – Eaver took the win here after hitting the ‘Clothesline From Heaven’ in what was an extremely violent bout, definitely one worth watching on PROGRESS’ On Demand service.
Mark Andrews b. Shane Strickland – An absolutely fantastic match that saw Andrews win with the Shooting Star Press, after the match PROGRESS Co-Owner Jim Smallman asked Strickland to appear at the Orlando shows over Wrestlemania Weekend.
El Ligero b. Nathan Cruz – A hotly contested bout between two former Origin members saw Ligero take the win after reversing a Figure Four into an Inside Cradle. After the match Cruz removed Ligero’s mask.
Zack Gibson b. Jack Sexsmith – This match was all about Sexsmith proving himself as a viable championship contender for the company and it certainly felt like his ‘coming out party.’ Gibson hit the Helter Skelter for the pinfall win.
Jimmy Havoc, Mark Haskins & Morgan Webster b. British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) – The stakes for this match were extremely high. If Havoc, Haskins or Webster got a pinfall or submission victory then they would receive a title shot, however if one of them took a pinfall, countout or submission loss then they would ineligible to ANY title shot for 6 months. Havoc ended up taking the victory and title shot following an Acid Rainmaker on PROGRESS Champion Pete Dunne.

PROGRESS’ last Chapter event saw the stunning return of ‘Flash’ Morgan Webster and former PROGRESS Champion Mark Haskins from injury. Their return during the British Strong Style beatdown of Jimmy Havoc was a huge hit with the PROGRESS faithful and it has lead to the main event for Chapter 44 – Old Man Yells at Cloud. Here is the press release for the event:
After the events at the end of Chapter 43, we have an enormous main event for Chapter 44 on 26th February in store.
British Strong Style (World Champion Pete Dunne and Tag Champions Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) will face the team of Jimmy Havoc, Mark Haskins and Flash Morgan Webster in a 6 man tag match that will, whatever happens, have implications for the coming months.
If Havoc, Haskins or Webster score a pin or submission on any member of British Strong Style, they’ll earn a title opportunity.
But, if any of those three get pinned or submit, they’ll be barred from any further title matches for 6 months.
High stakes. One man leaves Chapter 44 with a title shot, or heartbroken. Will the alliance of Havoc, Haskins and Webster be able to work together even though only one of them can potentially benefit? Or will the pack mentality of British Strong Style prevail, and eliminate one of the title contenders for the foreseeable future?

During his time in the UK independent wrestling scene Kris Travis was extremely well liked and respected by both fans and peers alike. He unfortunately passed away from stomach cancer on March 31st 2016, he was 32 years old.
Preston City Wrestling (PCW) was one of Kris’ favourite promotions to work for and since his passing a number of tributes and events have been organised by the company to honour his memory, both in and out of the ring, including the Kris Travis Memorial Tournament, set to take place later this month.
It was recently revealed that the proceeds from the event would not be given to charity, something that while not confirmed by PCW was largely expected as previous events by other companies across the UK had seen charitable donations made to cancer charities.
PCW have released a statement (see below) on this unfortunate situation and tournament competitor Pete Dunne has also confirmed via Twitter that he will be donating his fee for the event to the Cavendish Cancer Care charity in the UK.

The UK scene has never seen more exposure on a global scale and even some of the smaller promotions on the British Isles are starting to benefit from the boom in popularity over the past year.
One of these promotions is Wolverhampton based Fight Club: Pro who have recently announced a big string of shows on Easter weekend featuring the likes of Zack Sabre Jr, Sami Callihan and Lucha Underground stars Pentagon Jr and Fenix.
Fight Club had a very impressive string of events throughout 2016 that showcased some of the best British talent around, this included WWE UK Tournament competitors Tyler Bate, Pete Dunne and Trent Seven who have made Fight Club their home over the past few years.
If you’ve never had the chance to check out a Fight Club: Pro event then you can purchase one of their shows quite cheaply through Vimeo. Alternatively if you are based in the UK then I would highly recommend going to to either the Wolverhampton or London legs of their Easter tour, check out their Twitter account below for more info:
