Tag Team Match
 YOUNG GUNS VS SUBCULTURE

The last time these two competitors clashed, it was Nina Samuels who emerged victorious at Diamond Dust, proving herself as a force to be reckoned with. Their rivalry, which started when Nina interrupted Emersyn Jayne’s previous title opportunity, forcing her to wait for another shot at gold, has come full circle with Samuels now carrying the Championship after her successful scheme on Rhio at Unboxing.

Now, with two back-to-back wins under her belt, Jayne steps up to challenge the champion once again – this time, its not her friend Rhio she is shooting at but she is looking to avenge her friend, who fell victim to Nina’s dastardly ways.

With emotions running high and momentum on Emersyn Jayne’s side, will Nina Samuels cement her reign with her first defence, or will Emersyn Jayne get the redemption she’s been chasing? All will be decided at the Bowlers Arena!

PROGRESS Proteus World Championship Match
SIMON MILLER (C) vs CHARLES CROWLEY

The Proteus World Championship will be on the line as Simon Miller defends his title against the unpredictable Charles Crowley and thanks to the fans, the stipulation is as entertaining as expected: Winner must win by a WWE Finisher!

Miller, who has ruled the Proteus division with his fan-driven approach, now faces a fresh challenge in Crowley, a man stepping into the singles spotlight after the dissolution of Cheeky Little Buggers. With everything to prove and a chance at his first PROGRESS singles gold, Crowley will look to use both mind games and a knowledge of WWE finishers to outwit the champion.

With the fans deciding the rules and both men eager to make history, expect a battle filled with iconic moves, surprises, and high stakes. Will Miller continue his reign, or will Crowley seize his golden moment?

Tag Team Match
NICO X MILLS VS LYKOS GYM

For the past three months, Nico X Mills have been attacking Lykos Gym with vengeance. Ever since they became a unit in PROGRESS, they have systematically taken the pair of Kid Lykos & Kid Lykos II after their matches, during matches and even in the Thunderbastard.

So far, Nico X Mills have shown the upper hand in this feud, without even explaining their actions, whilst Kid Lykos has claimed they are shooting for wrestlers they feel are higher up on the food chain. He also stated that Lykos Gym do not die and despite the way the feud has been going, they won’t lie down and are ready to FIGHT in Manchester.

Can they pick up a much needed change of momentum in this ongoing battle?

Singles Match
1 CALLED MANDERS VS TATE MAYFAIRS

1 Called Manders was supposed to make his PROGRESS Wrestling debut against Tate Mayfairs way back at Chapter 171 but transport issue put paid to that. The match does take place in Manchester this Valentine’s Day and the lay of the land is very different to what it would have been before.

When the match was due to take place in 2024, Tate was still the brash man we had always known, but in 2025 he is attempting to be the best version of himself and after winning the Thunderbastard key at Unboxing in a fair manner, the crowd cheered for him and now want him to defeat Luke Jacobs in their title match the week after this!

Tate has promised Manders a handshake and a fair fight, whilst Manders has stated that he does not believe the act for a second… will Tate prove his words with actions or will the cowboy unearth what he believes to be the truth?

Singles Match
MAN LIKE DEREISS VS RICHARD HOLLIDAY

This singles bout sees Man Like Dereiss face off against Richard Holliday. Dereiss has become one of the most popular wrestlers on the PROGRESS roster thanks to his incredible ring work and charisma, but in 2024 he was a nearly man with performances not matching results. He looks to put that right in 2025 starting with a huge win over Richard Holliday.

Holliday, who has done plenty of research on Dereiss from his GCW appearances, has stated that whilst he’s impressed with Dereiss that this will be HIS debut and HIS night. It’s all setup for a massive clash and one that is impossible to call… we can’t wait!

Will Richard Holliday get his flowers with a big debut win or will Dereiss kickstart his 2025?

Singles Match
HOLLIE BARLOW VS LANA AUSTIN

In ANOTHER PROGRESS debut on this show, Hollie Barlow takes on Lana Austin in a match born and bred in Manchester!

Lana is coming off the back of the Thunderbastard match where not only did she pin Rayne Leverkusen – with a handful of tights – but she opportunistically hit a roaring elbow on Kid Lykos and pinned him!

These two go way back but will Hollie pick up the win in her debut or will her mentor prove she is ‘simply the best’?
