There are few wrestlers more perfect for each other than Eddie Kingston and Trent Seven.\u00a0 Former Atlas champion Trent Seven was one of the first men in British Wrestling to incorporate Strong Style into his arsenal and now possesses some of the best chops in the business.\u00a0 However hard Seven hits Kingston you can be sure Kingston will hit back just as hard as.\u00a0 Kingston is at home in a fight and that’s exactly what this one will be.<\/p>\n

Some mixed tag team action as two PROGRESS stalwarts team with some of North America’s best women.\u00a0 SSS16 winner David Starr is looking to build up a head of steam ahead of his showdown with WALTER<\/strong> at Ally Pally.\u00a0 His partner Jody Threat<\/a> is just finishing up a tour of the UK where she made her PROGRESS debut at Chapter 93.\u00a0 Their opponents are a tough team of PROGRESS women’s champion Jordynne Grace and Chris Brookes.\u00a0 IMPACT Wrestling star Grace has long been one of the best women in the NA scene but by capturing the PROGRESS Women’s title she also put herself on top of the pile in the UK.\u00a0 She teams with one of the UK’s top stars Schadenfreude and CCK member Chris Brookes who is a highly decorated tag team wrestler that has seen his popularity skyrocket after a recent tour of\u00a0Dramatic Dream Team\u00a0<\/strong>(DDT Pro).<\/p>\n

The Dark Order was once one of the top tag teams in North America as Super Smash Bros<\/strong>.\u00a0 Now signed to AEW, they represent their former stomping grounds SMASH Wrestling here against one of the top tag team’s in PROGRESS history.\u00a0 Aussie Open have won tag teams titles all over Europe since making their way over from Australia in 2017 and with rumors flying that they may soon join NJPW this could be the last time we see them share a ring with Dark Order. Butcher & The Blade have really gained momentum the past year when Pepper Parks (formerly Braxton Sutter in IMPACT) and Andy Williams finally committed to being a proper tag team. Aside from Smash Wrestling, they’re also regularly working for the likes of Beyond Wrestling, Bar Wrestling, Black Label Pro and more.<\/p>\n

Once the most dominant force in the PROGRESS women’s division Toni Storm is now the NXT UK women’s champion but her time as PROGRESS Women’s champion is fondly remembered by fans of the promotion as she took on all comers for close to a year to help establish the young division.\u00a0 Holidead made her mark in PROGRESS recently when she debuted attacking Candyfloss and Lana Austin then defeating both at subsequent chapters.\u00a0 Now Holidead has the chance to beat one of the biggest women in PROGRESS history<\/p>\n

Jordan Devlin vs Travis Banks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A rivalry that we saw tear up NXT UK this year comes to Canada as Ireland’s Ace Jordan Devlin takes on The Kiwi Buzzsaw Travis Banks.\u00a0 Both have gained reputations as some of the best wrestlers in PROGRESS and the UK scene in general.\u00a0 These two will renew their rivalry without the in-ring restrictions of NXT UK and are sure to steal the show at PROGRESS Toronto.<\/p>\n
