PROGRESS Wrestling Natalie Sykes Interview: “Debuting for PROGRESS is a huge opportunity, I’m ready to finally be in the spotlight where I belong”

As Natalie Sykes steps into the PROGRESS Wrestling ring for the first time, she’s ready to prove herself in the spotlight she’s worked tirelessly to reach. With her debut match set against the formidable Emersyn Jayne, Natalie will be bringing her “21st Century Liability” persona to Chapter 173, where she promises fans a memorable performance.

Looking ahead, Natalie’s goals in PROGRESS are clear: to establish herself as a mainstay and ultimately to challenge for the PROGRESS Women’s World Championship. Making her debut in Manchester feels like a perfect fit for this proud Northerner, who’s counting on the O2 Ritz crowd to bring the energy she thrives on – especially if they boo her!

You’re about to make your PROGRESS Wrestling debut—how are you feeling heading into this big moment, and what does this opportunity mean to you?

Debuting for PROGRESS is a huge opportunity, I’m ready to finally be in the spotlight where I belong…

Your first match in PROGRESS will be against Emersyn Jayne. What are your thoughts on her as an opponent, and how are you preparing to face her?

Emersyn Jayne has been a dream opponent of mine for a while, I have followed her career and I know she will be a tough opponent. But she might not know what to expect from me and that’s what I will be using to my advantage!!

This is a first-time-ever match for you in a new company. What can fans expect from you in the ring at Chapter 173?

If you don’t already know who the 21st Century Liability is … #NoSpoilers

What are your hopes and goals for your future in PROGRESS Wrestling? Are there specific matches or achievements you’re aiming for?

Becoming a PROGRESS staple, proving I belong on the biggest platform and of course dethroning Rhio to win the PROGRESS Women’s World Championship!

Manchester has a reputation for having passionate wrestling fans. What are you expecting from the crowd at the O2 Ritz, and how excited are you to perform in front of them?

I love being a Northerner and making my PROGRESS debut in front of a Northern crowd just feels right. I know the fans will bring the energy and that’s exactly what I thrive on!!
