On the 28th of May 2017, PROGRESS<\/strong> crowned their first ever women’s champion – since then,\u00a0Toni Storm\u00a0<\/strong>has solidified the division putting on great matches at every Chapter.\u00a0 Underneath Storm, there is something special brewing.\u00a0 There is a group of women that PROGRESS started showcasing at the Revelations Of Divine Love<\/strong><\/em> tournament.\u00a0 This tournament was for a shot at Storm’s title.\u00a0 It was the first time some of these women were being presented to the larger PROGRESS audience and they certainly\u00a0made a mark.<\/p>\n

In this tournament, there were four women that presented themselves as future stars:\u00a0Candyfloss, Chakara, Millie McKenzie <\/strong>and Sierra Loxton.<\/strong>\u00a0 The four young women named are going to prove the BritWres boom is for women as much as for the men.\u00a0 The scary thing is, neither woman named is older than 20.\u00a0 They have so much time to develop both their already stellar gimmicks and ring work, and could easily become the centrepiece of PROGRESS’ Women’s Division\u00a0very soon.<\/p>\n

Candyfloss is the one with the biggest potential.\u00a0 The pink haired, sugar loving girl has the crowd in the palm of her hands.\u00a0 Her character is the definition of sweet and it really helps her stand out in the serious world of women’s wrestling.\u00a0 She has been training since the age of 15 and is already very good in the ring and over with the PROGRESS Ultras.\u00a0 She also appears regularly in\u00a0Pro Wrestling: EVE\u00a0<\/strong>and has a very bright future.<\/p>\n

Chakara follows in the vain of\u00a0Jinny<\/strong>.\u00a0 She is the queen of sass and has obvious disdain for the crowd.\u00a0 In this division of good or respected women, Chakara is a great\u00a0heel that you are meant to dislike.\u00a0 In one of her first big matches, she defeated PROGRESS women’s\u00a0wrestling pioneer\u00a0Pollyanna<\/strong>.\u00a0 Having wrestled in various places around the UK she has a lot\u00a0of experience in IPW: UK<\/strong> and EVE, as well as PROGRESS.\u00a0 Chakara has a great look and is similar to WWE NXT\u00a0<\/strong>superstar\u00a0Bianca Belair\u00a0– <\/strong>she is an Egyptian\u00a0goddess in her own eyes and will win the PROGRESS Women’s Championship sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Millie McKenzie is the heir to\u00a0Kay Lee Ray’s\u00a0<\/strong>throne.\u00a0 Since adopting a more\u00a0Brock Lesnar\u00a0<\/strong>badass approach, she\u00a0has taken part in Intergender wrestling.\u00a0 McKenzie wrestles in a way that no other woman can.\u00a0 She hits hard, suplexes harder and gives as good as she gets.\u00a0 McKenzie\u00a0is a pushed commodity in\u00a0Fight Club: PRO\u00a0<\/strong>and has wrestled in\u00a0Defiant, CHIKARA<\/strong> and\u00a0RevPro.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>One of the more polished members of the women’s\u00a0division but has huge potential.<\/p>\n

The “Freaky Princess” Sierra Loxton is another with an individual and recognizable gimmick.\u00a0 She is a large, athletic woman that breaks the mould of what you would expect from a woman of her size.\u00a0 Her in-ring work consists of mainly hip attacks and using her power mixed with speed to take down her opponents.\u00a0 What makes Loxton so good is her gimmick is so relatable.\u00a0 She considers herself a freak,\u00a0 someone not normal, but\u00a0still knows she can be a beautiful princess.\u00a0 In the modern day, with\u00a0Jack Sexsmith\u00a0<\/strong>using the “love yourself” gimmick so well, Loxton has the chance to become a huge star with fans of all shapes and sizes and be the underdog of this division.<\/p>\n
