The tournament brackets, including all the all-important first round matches, will be announced via PROGRESS Wrestling’s social media accounts over the weekend of 28th and 29th May.
As well as the fascinating tournament, the weekend will feature many more of PROGRESS Wrestling’s amazing roster. Saturday will see the grudge between Cara Noir and Spike Trivet settled, as the pair compete in an I Quit match, with the loser leaving PROGRESS. Also on Day Two, tag team champions The 0121 will meet The Smokin’ Aces and Sunshine Machine in an extraordinary triple ladder match.
On Sunday, PROGRESS Women’s champion Gisele Shaw will defend against former champ Kanji in a two-of-of-three falls match. Also in action will be Atlas champion Luke Jacobs, who will take on Axel Tischer.
All these matches, plus plenty of others, make this an unmissable series of events.
