10 British Indy Stars That AEW And WWE NEED To Sign Part 1

10. Chris Ridgeway

Debut Year: 2012

Regular Promotions: PROGRESS, Breed Pro, WrestleGate, IPW:UK, RevPro

What Makes Him Special?: The super-intense mat grappler and hard kick specialist has been threatening to become the UK’s next big thing for a while and has come of age in the past year thanks to consistently excellent performances in PROGRESS, WrestleGate and RevPro.

Was given the chance to work in the main event of PROGRESS’ Super Strong Style 16 earlier this month against NXT star Kyle O’Reilly and put in a star-making performance. The future is bright for the in-demand 25-year old.

Where Will He End Up?: He has already agreed to wrestle for Pro Wrestling NOAH as part of the promotion’s Junior Heavyweight Tag League but longer term we would expect him to turn up in NXT UK, given his PROGRESS form and the promotion’s connection to WWE.
