In his short spell with PROGRESS Wrestling, Strickland cemented his reputation as one of the most dynamic performers to ever grace the Ballroom.

Debuting in 2016, Swerve instantly turned heads by defeating Will Ospreay at Chapter 35, a match that showcased his agility, confidence, and cutting-edge in-ring style. From there, he became a recurring presence, mixing it up with Mark Andrews, TK Cooper, and Travis Banks across UK and US events.

Swerve’s international star power was on full display during the Coast to Coast Tour and Mardi Graps, where he battled Travis Banks for the PROGRESS World Title and later returned to face Cara Noir in a main event clash at Chapter 129—a 22-minute epic that reminded fans just how far Swerve had come.

Though he never captured gold in PROGRESS, Swerve’s legacy lies in the calibre of opponents he faced and the quality of matches he delivered. His bouts felt global in scale, bringing a new dimension to the promotion’s evolving identity during its most expansive years.

Whether lighting it up in singles competition or tag team chaos, Swerve Strickland’s time in PROGRESS remains a testament to creativity, charisma, and world-class skill—his legacy etched into the heart of the brand’s modern era.
