PROGRESS Wrestling updated the list of wrestlers that have been fired or no longer allowed to wrestle for their organization.
“Talent Suspensions And Departures
Further to our statement made earlier today, here is an update regarding specific allegations and current roster members:
David Starr – will no longer be working for PROGRESS
Marc ‘Paz’ Parry – will no longer be working for PROGRESS
Travis Banks – will no longer be working for PROGRESS
Ligero – will no longer be working for PROGRESS
Jordan Devlin – will be suspended indefinitely // the tag titles have been vacated
Scotty Davis – will be suspended indefinitely // the tag titles have been vacated
We take all these allegations extremely seriously. Those under suspension will have their situation reviewed periodically between now, and events starting again. We continue to monitor and listen to the Speaking Out movement so that we can take appropriate action where necessary.”
Ring announcer Matt Richards announced that he was leaving the company due to his coworkers (wrestlers) whom he believed were his friends were accused of “inexcusable and appalling acts.”
This morning I made the decision to step down from both my roles in creative & as ring announcer at PROGRESS Wrestling
Quite openly & honestly, I've fallen out of love with wrestling

Over the last few days I've discovered that people who I previously regarded as friends have committed inexcusable & appalling acts. I wholeheartedly support those who have spoken out. My feelings can't possibly compare to the impact this will have had on those affected
