Since her debut in PROGRESS Wrestling in 2017, Nina Samuels has become a defining figure in the British wrestling scene. With her signature blend of theatrical arrogance, sharp wit, and undeniable in-ring talent, Nina evolved into one of the most captivating characters on the PROGRESS roster.
From the moment she stepped into a PROGRESS ring, Samuels established herself as a natural antagonist. Her self-centred persona and razor-sharp promos drew consistent reactions from the crowd, cementing her status as one of the promotion’s most recognisable and polarising figures. She embraced the role of villain with gusto, turning every entrance and interaction into must-watch entertainment.
Throughout her tenure, Nina engaged in numerous feuds that showcased her versatility, including memorable rivalries with Jordynne Grace, Jinny, and perhaps most notably, Alexxis Falcon. The latter featured deeply personal storytelling, compelling promos, and a climactic match that remains one of the most creatively executed women’s bouts in the promotion’s history.
In December 2024, Nina Samuels reached the pinnacle of her PROGRESS career when she defeated Rhio to capture the PROGRESS Women’s World Championship. Her reign, lasting 126 days, was marked by confident defences against top-tier talent including Emersyn Jayne, Rayne Leverkusen, and Vert Vixen.
However, her championship reign came to a dramatic end at Chapter 180: Super Strong Style 16. In a high-stakes Title vs. Career match, Samuels faced Rhio in a bout filled with tension, controversy, and emotion. Despite underhanded tactics and a chaotic sequence involving a special guest referee, Nina ultimately fell short. A missed moonsault led to a devastating sequence from Rhio, culminating in two package piledrivers and Nina’s decisive defeat.
Nina Samuels’ legacy in PROGRESS Wrestling is rich with character-driven storytelling, boundary-pushing performances, and an unwavering dedication to her craft. She helped shape the identity of the women’s division and set a standard for character work in British wrestling.
