Sunshine Machine to Defend PROGRESS Tag Team Championships Against Lykos Gym at Chapter 181: Far From Ordinary People

PROGRESS Wrestling can officially confirm that at Chapter 181: Far From Ordinary People, Sunshine Machine, Chuck Mambo and TK Cooper, will defend their PROGRESS Tag Team Championships against Lykos Gym, in a match brimming with history, hunger, and unfinished business.

This third encounter between two of British wrestling’s premier tag teams takes place on Sunday 29th June, live from the O2 Ritz in Manchester. And if the past is anything to go by, fans are in for something truly special.

Sunshine Machine return to Manchester as champions for the second time, having reclaimed the tag team gold at Chapter 178, a momentous victory that not only put the belts back around their waists but brought the curtain down on the tag team career of Smokin’ Aces. Now, with momentum behind them and the titles secured, Chuck and TK are determined to ignite their second reign with a statement win over familiar foes.

But standing in their way is a revitalised and battle-hardened Lykos Gym. Though previously bested twice by Sunshine Machine in PROGRESS tag action, the duo of Kid Lykos and Kid Lykos II are arguably in the form of their lives. They’ve conquered chaos in a brutal no ropes, no DQ war against Nico Angelo and Connor Mills and stunned crowds by overcoming Boisterous Behaviour in Las Vegas. While both men fell in the opening round of Super Strong Style 16, they arrive in Manchester not as individuals, but as a cohesive, dangerous unit, focused solely on dethroning the champions.

For Lykos Gym, this isn’t just another title shot, it’s about silencing the doubters, settling old scores, and finally getting the victory over Sunshine Machine that’s eluded them.

For Sunshine Machine, it’s about proving once again why they’re at the top of the mountain and doing it with the same style, spirit and camaraderie that has made them one of PROGRESS Wrestling’s most beloved tag teams.

Three matches. Two defeats. One shot.
