PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 169 Preview: PROGRESS Wrestling returns to the Electric Ballroom in Camden, on Monday, 26h August. Chapter 170: Wrestling Never Sleeps will be a show to remember as new PROGRESS Men’s World Champion winner Luke Jacobs faces the man he ran through at the last chapter to win the belt, Kid Lykos. How will the rematch play out… we can’t wait to see!
PROGRESS Men’s World Championship Match
Luke Jacobs (c) vs Kid Lykos
PROGRESS Women’s World Championship Match
Rhio (c) vs Session Moth Martina
Rhio has been a dominant and increasingly aggressive champion, making it clear that she is done with being disrespected. “If people want to keep disrespecting me, then they’re going to bring out a side of me that they won’t like,” she warned. Session Moth Martina, with her unpredictable attitude after her heel turn at Chapter 169 poses a unique challenge, but Rhio is determined to maintain her hold on the title. This clash could define the trajectory of the women’s division for the foreseeable future.
PROGRESS Tag Team Championship Match
SAnitY (C) vs Smokin’ Aces
SAnitY’s Axel Tischer and Big Damo are determined to bring chaos to the Smokin’ Aces, following the latter’s ambush on Tischer at Chapter 169. Tischer has dismissed the Aces as “cowards” and vowed that they will regret ever crossing SAnitY. Damo, equally fired up, declared, “We didn’t adopt chaos; we were born into chaos,” signalling that this match will be a brutal affair. The Smokin’ Aces, however, are out to reclaim their spot at the top after returning from injury in devastating fashion, setting the stage for a violent and unpredictable clash.
DEFY World Championship Match
KENTA (C) vs Ricky Knight Jr
Ricky Knight Jr. is ready to make history and is fully aware of the challenge KENTA presents. In an interview, RKJ emphasized that if KENTA busts him open, “he will see professional wrestling bleed out of me”. This match is deeply personal for RKJ, who is looking to honour his family legacy and become the first British DEFY World Champion. KENTA, a global wrestling icon, is prepared to defend his title with the same intensity that has made him a legend in the industry. This bout has all the makings of a classic, with the potential to elevate RKJ to international stardom.
Tag Match
Nina Samuels, Lena Kross & Debbie Keitel vs. Kanji & The Experience
Lena Kross has been nothing short of determined since her debut, making it clear that she doesn’t like not getting what she wants. After narrowly missing out on the PROGRESS Women’s Championship at Chapter 169, Kross is more motivated than ever, stating, “I’ll be back. I don’t like not getting what I want, and I want the PROGRESS Women’s World Championship”. Her partnership with the cunning Nina Samuels creates a formidable duo, but Kanji, a former champion herself, is known for her resilience and will have The Experience backing her, looking to right their wrongs to her in the past. The interesting part of course is what part Debbie Keitel will play in this – a former friend of Kanji who says this is just business.
Singles Match
Eddie Dennis vs Tate Mayfairs
The rivalry between Eddie Dennis and Tate Mayfairs has been building to a boiling point. Dennis, a seasoned veteran, has warned Mayfairs not to underestimate him, pointing out that Mayfairs might be the one who is “emotionally distracted” heading into this match. On the other hand, Mayfairs has made it personal, claiming, “Knowing what I know about his failing body, I couldn’t just end Eddie Dennis’ career but ruin his life physically forever”. This psychological warfare adds an extra layer of intensity to their upcoming battle, making this a must-watch.
Singles Match
Marcus Mathers vs. Leon Slater
This matchup between rising stars is one of the most anticipated on the card. Leon Slater, with his eyes set on championship gold in 2024, has been clear about his ambitions: “The message is simple: I’m coming for gold in 2024.” Slater has been relentless in his pursuit, putting on a standout performance after standout performance. Marcus Mathers, meanwhile, is equally driven, and eager to prove himself on a global stage in his PROGRESS Wrestling debut.
Singles Match
Gene Munny vs. Man Like DeReiss
Gene Munny, formerly beloved by fans for his charisma and unique style, has expressed frustration with his current status in PROGRESS. Despite the crowd’s support, Munny feels he hasn’t reached the heights he deserves, stating, “The crowd have been gnoshing my ego off since I debuted in 2019, and where has it ever gotten me?”. His change in attitude has resulted in a turn in fortunes, but his big mouth mentioned Man Like DeReiss after his win over Danhausen, so now the match is on!
