PROGRESS Returning Next Week, To Stream On WWE Network

PROGRESS Wrestling, one of the UK’s biggest independent wrestling promotions, is set to return next week (February 20), with the event being broadcast on the WWE Network.

WWE announced that PROGRESS Chapter 104: Natural Progression, will be broadcast on the WWE Network next Saturday at 8pm GMT/3pm EST:

PROGRESS Wrestling is back! England’s biggest independent wrestling promotion returns to action for the first time in nearly a year with Chapter 104: Natural Progression, premiering Saturday, Feb. 20, streaming at 3 p.m. ET/8 p.m. GMT on WWE Network!

Chapter 104 will see the start of the seventh Natural Progression Series tournament, which gives the future stars of British wrestling the opportunity to break out on the biggest stage possible. Participants in previous editions of the tournament include Pete Dunne, Zack Gibson, Eddie Dennis, Tyler Bate and Flash Morgan Webster, among others. Past winners of the tournament include Mark Andrews, who used his victory to become PROGRESS Champion, and Toni Storm, who became the first-ever PROGRESS Women’s Champion by winning the fourth edition.

The eight competitors in NPS7 include:
-Kid Lykos II
-Elijah
-Big Guns Joe
-Man Like Dereiss
-Luke Jacobs
-Ethan Allen
-“The Kid Without Fear” Danny Black
-“The Nigerian Kaiju” Warren Banks

The quarterfinal round of the tournament, plus plenty of other PROGRESS action, takes place on Saturday, Feb. 20, when PROGRESS Wrestling’s Chapter 104: Natural Progression premieres on WWE Network, streaming at 3 p.m. ET/8 p.m. GMT!

This is the first time that PROGRESS will have run a show since both the Speaking Out Movement in June and the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March. Due to current UK rules, the show will not have a crowd.

As WWE’s statements states, the majority of the NXT UK roster have competed on a PROGRESS card at some stage. Finn Balor and Pete Dunne, who will likely main event NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day tomorrow, are both PROGRESS alumni.
