PROGRESS has announced the full card for their upcoming Chapter 73 event ‘Fourth Shade of Green’ which will be taking place this Sunday July 15th from the O2 Academy in Birmingham, England.
Here’s the lineup for this Sunday:
- PROGRESS Championship Match – Travis Banks v Tyler Bate
- Jimmy Havoc v Drew Parker
- Pete Dunne & Trent Seven v Kings Of The North
- Sexy Starr v Haskins & Webster
- Toni Storm vs Killer Kelly
- TK Cooper vs Rob Lynch
- Eddie Dennis vs Jones
- Mark Andrews vs El Phantasmo
One of the biggest bouts sees Travis Banks defend his PROGRESS World Championship against fellow NXT UK colleague Tyler Bate. The ‘Kiwi Buzzsaw’ Banks has been a dominant reigning World Champion since his win over WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne in September 2017 having avenged losses to Keith Lee and Matt Riddle whilst Champion. Banks also featured in arguably the best PROGRESS bout of 2017 when he defeated Will Ospreay as part of the Unboxing Live show in December, again to retain his title.
Tyler Bate is of course a name that fans of the WWE United Kingdom specials will know well. The inaugural UK Champion has seen his stock rise exponentially over the past year with performances on WWE’s 205 Live and NXT Takeover where he had arguably the match of the year against Pete Dunne; having said that the momentum that PROGRESS has found since ‘turning’ Banks against the fans (he would say that they turned against him) has been nothing short of phenomenal and when he finally drops the title it will be a huge moment and a chance to coronate a new champion and usher in a new era for the UK based company.

A big title change occurred at Tuesday’s WWE NXT UK Title Tournament taping.
The sports entertainment company held day two of the tapings at Royal Albert Hall in London, England this afternoon. This event will air on the WWE’s streaming service, WWE Network, on June 26th.
At the tapings, Tyler Bate & Trent Seven, known as Moustache Mountain, beat Undisputed ERA’s Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to win the NXT Tag Team Titles. The win marks Bate & Seven’s first reign with the titles. WWE.com has since published a story announcing the news.
The Undisputed ERA held the titles up to this point for over 200 days as they won the straps from Sanity (Alexander Wolfe and Eric Young) back in November of 2017 during an episode of NXT on the WWE Network.
We will have full spoilers from this taping later this afternoon.

In a FIRST TIME EVER match inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate will be facing former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay. It is incredible to think that these two standouts have never faced one on one in the squared circle but Fight Club: Pro is making it happen.
FCP has also announced that WWE UK roster member Jordan Devlin will be taking on Dragon Gate’s Naoki Tanizaki. The Dragon Gate veteran will be taking part in a run across the UK shore sagainst the likes of Mark Haskins (Frontline Puro) and Chris Brookes (RIPTIDE) and this bout against Devlin should be dynamite.
WWE linked Superstar WALTER has also been announced for the June 29th event, the former PROGRESS ATLAS and wXw Unified World Champion does not yet have an opponent named but with the wealth of stars available Internationally right now he should be matched with someone stellar.

Reigning Fight Club: Pro singles Champion Meiko Satomura will be making her way to Wolverhampton to defend her belt against the man she defeated for the crown. CCK leader Chris Brookes will be looking to reclaim the title after losing to the Japanese legend in one of the featured bouts from FCP’s Dream Tag Invitational. Satomura also successfully defended the belt during WrestleMania weekend at the ‘Pancakes and Piledrivers’ show co-hosted by AAW/Revolver Wrestling and Fight Club; Satomura defeated both Jessicka Havok and Kimber Lee to keep hold of the Championship.
Satomura is the co-founder of the famed Sendai Girls promotion, she has performed across the globe for the likes of Gaea Japan, WCW and Chikara.

This past weekend saw UK promotion Fight Club: Pro hold their biggest ever events. The 3 day Dream Tag Team Invitational (DTTI) took place in Manchester, Wolverhampton and Birmingham’s NEC arena to a huge attendance on each night.
The second night of the weekender took place at Manchester’s Academy One venue and featured a DTTI bout between Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) and Gentleman’s Club (Chuck Taylor & Orange Cassidy) which clocked in at 71 minutes and 25 seconds making it the longest ‘traditional’ tag team match in recorded history. There are several tag matches that exceed this time however they are all 8 or 16 man bouts.
The two teams agreed to make the match a ‘Falls Count Anywhere’ contest and began to fight outside of the arena and into Manchester itself…they returned around intermission and sold merchandise briefly before again continuing the match. One of the Gentleman’s Club members ‘Swamp Monster’ appeared to help the team but this turned out to be WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne who proceeded to beat down the GC and help his British Strong Style stablemates get the win and advance in the tournament.
You can see just a small portion of the chaos that Moustache Mountain and GC caused below:

– WWE currently doesn’t have any plans for Rusev to perform in a match at WrestleMania 34. It’s likely that WWE uses him in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. “The Bulgarian Brute” recently took to Twitter to comment on his WrestleMania status and said he’d like to fight a celebrity in New Orleans:
WWE Legend The Rock responded to Rusev’s Tweet and volunteered his good friend Kevin Hart:
– Per a report from Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE Uk Superstar Tyler Bate has been sidelined with a minor knee injury. Bate was originally scheduled to team up with Trent Seven in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament.

UK promotion Fight Club: Pro has announced an absolutely huge match for Night 1 of their upcoming Dream Tag Team Invitational starting Friday March 20th.
WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne will be flanked by his British Strong Style compatriots Tyler Bate and Trent Seven to take on the team of Matt Riddle, Lucha Underground’s Angelico and NJPW’s Jeff Cobb.
Last year’s iteration of the DTTI saw British Strong Style take on The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega (then known as The Elite) and Fight Club will be hoping that this bout matches up to the precedent set on that night.

– It seems like Tyler Bate could have some backstage heat within WWE. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio had this to say about Bate’s current status with the company:
“Tyler Bate lost 4 matches this week. He went 0 and 4. He went from being the big guy that they were grooming for the UK for the future and he has fallen out of favor.” He continued, “He lost the title to Pete Dunne [and] there was a situation where they had a tour.
“They, at the last minute, wanted to book him on a main roster tour I think. This was a long time ago but this was right before they put Pete Dunne over him. They called [Bate] late and he had made other plans and that’s what happened.”
– TMZ recently published a story about Jay Z applying to trademark the diamond hand signal for “a variety of entertainment services in either music, video, TV or film.” It also referenced a lawsuit that Diamond Dallas Page filed against Jay Z back in 2005 that was settled out of court. The article also noted “it doesn’t look like DDP ever trademarked it for himself.” DDP took to Twitter to correct TMZ on that matter:

Tyler Bate will face Roderick Strong next week on NXT to determine the #1 contender for Pete Dunne’s U.K. Championship. The match between Strong and Bate will be taped this Saturday before NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia.
WWE.com writes,
“Bate gave Dunne the fight of his life last month in a U.K. Title Match but came up short of regaining the championship. A win against Strong would put the English prodigy back on track for another showdown with his familiar foe and potentially a second reign as U.K. Champion.
The veteran Strong, in contrast, is still in search of his first championship since joining WWE. If he were to advance past Bate and dethrone The BruiserWeight, The Messiah of the Backbreaker would not only accomplish that goal, but he would make history as the first American to win the U.K. Title.”
Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate have already had some classic matches in NXT. Last year at NXT TakeOVer: Chicago, Pete Dunne connected with the Bitter End on Tyler Bate to become the new U.K. Champion. WWE recently uploaded the entire match called by Nigel McGuinness and Jim Ross on YouTube.

With WWE’s Royal Rumble event taking place this Sunday it is safe to assume that there will be appearances from superstars outside of the Smackdown Live and RAW rosters in both the men’s and women’s Rumble matches.
Aside from NXT, the WWE UK division had three of the most likely candidates to make a surprise appearance this Sunday; WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven. The three men are collectively known as British Strong Style on the independent scene and are the three most recognised stars on the United Kingdom brand.
It looks as though Trent Seven will definitely NOT be making his way to the 30 man match this Sunday, he has been booked by PROGRESS at their Chapter 62 event ‘Fear No More, Come To Dust’ in a three way match against Chris Brookes and Zack Sabre Jr.
Interestingly, WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne and former champion Tyler Bate, two of PROGRESS’ biggest stars, are not booked for Chapter 62 …

It was hailed as one of the best matches of 2017 and now WWE has released Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne for FREE on YouTube.

Jim Cornette is a fairly outspoken personality in the wrestling world, his views on the ‘modern’ style of pro wrestling ala The Young Bucks have been in the news once again and as always are fairly disparaging.
In a slight change to usual proceedings Cornette has some praise for a match from this week’s NXT show. The main event for the WWE UK Championship between Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne has been garnering plaudits from fans online and now Cornette has described the two young superstars as “WAAY beyond their experience level” and that they “mix modern style/WOS style well, at their ages they will be stars for years to come.”
Did you enjoy the WWE UK Title match from this week’s NXT? How far do you think Bate & Dunne can go in the WWE? Let us know in the comments.

Irish promotion Over The Top (OTT) Wrestling has announced two bouts for their ‘Homecoming’ event which takes place on February 3rd from Dublin, Ireland.
The first sees British Strong Style member and WWE UK Superstar Tyler Bate taking on Zack Sabre Jr. This will be the second time that these two men face off in 2018 following their Rev Pro ‘High Stakes’ tag team match in January.
The second will see a clash of international standouts Keith Lee and ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey. Lee has been making a huge mark on the British scene throughout 2017, his bouts in the headline slot of PROGRESS’ recent Chapter events have seen his stock rise exponentially. Mike Bailey will be looking to once again cement his name on the world stage with this bout, he has been quietly stealing shows across the UK region recently and this match is expected to be another barn burner.

UK based promotion ATTACK! Pro Wrestling recently held their annual ‘video game’ inspired show Press Start. This was the event’s fifth year of existence and ATTACK! were promoting it as ‘glitched out’ with some strange social media posts such as this:
Fans of the promotion were kept in the dark on how this would affect the event….it was revealed on the night that every match would feature gimmick switches for the competitors involved.
One of the highlight bouts saw a rematch between WWE UK stars Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne. It turned out to be one of the most surreal (and fun) bouts that the two have ever had. Check out some of the gifs below to see what occurred and if you like what you see then please check out the event on ATTACK!’s Video on Demand service.
