PROGRESS Wrestling heads stateside for Chapter 193: PROGRESS Las Vegas as part of GCW’s The Collective, the most exciting event ahead of WrestleMania 42, with the PROGRESS Men’s World Championship on the line – and tickets remain available for a truly blockbuster show!
With WrestleMania 42 just around the corner, PROGRESS makes its mark on Vegas with an unmissable show at The Horseshoe, Las Vegas, which gets underway at 11am (7pm UK time) on Thursday 16th April. SoCal Val will be the special guest host as the countdown to the big Mania weekend intensifies.
Starting from just $25, fans can secure their seats for an epic show by clicking here.
Defending champion, Man Like Dereiss, will face Michael Oku (accompanied by Amira) in the ring to contest the Men’s World Championship Title, as Dereiss aims to continue his reign at the top of the division.
There is another title to be decided in the form of the PROGRESS Proteus Championship, with current champion “The Mercenary” Paul Walter Hauser to take on Big Damo. Hauser has held the belt as champion since the show in Las Vegas in April 2025.
Awaiting Hauser is the Beast of Belfast. Damo is a former PROGRESS Men’s World Champion, and the fight promises to be pulsating. Damo looks to be the first person ever to capture all four male titles in PROGRESS as a previous World, Atlas and Tag Champion.
Meanwhile, Super Strong Style 16 , as the truly global tournament sees Lio Rush go up against Ethan Allen, who recently became PROGRESS Tag Team champion with Young Guns alongside Luke Jacobs at Chapter 192: Cause and Effect – the winner of the first-round clash will secure a spot at May Bank Holiday’s showpiece event.
Rhio, a former two-time PROGRESS Women’s World Champion, also takes to the ring against Vertvixen for a Super Strong Style 16 Women’s first-round match-up with a double-helping of SSS16 for fans to enjoy.
Elsewhere, there are fascinating duels between Subculture vs Tommy Tanner and Kuro, as well as a thrilling four way match Lena Kross vs Emersyn Jayne vs Renee Michelle vs Mercedes Martinez. Can Mercedes avenge her loss to Alexxis Falcoln last month, and claim the win, or maybe Emersyn Jayne will build on her recent SSS16 first round match win and claim the W as she builds momentum to the Super Strong Style 16 finale in May.
Meanwhile, Simon Miller is also confirmed to be wrestling at PROGRESS Las Vegas for the second consecutive year.
Fans can expect PROGRESS to once again bring its unique brand of chaos, energy, and storytelling to the biggest wrestling weekend of the year.
