Although Pete Dunne has lost his World Championship belt in PROGRESS, he still holds three other titles – WWE<\/strong> United Kingdom Championship<\/a>, ATTACK! <\/strong>24\/7 Championship (from Wales), and Destiny World Wrestling (DWW)<\/strong> Championship (from Toronto, Canada).<\/p>\n

Although he’s held the top titles in IPW New Zealand<\/strong> and Lucha Forever<\/strong> (UK), this marks Travis Banks’ first major World title of his 8-year career, that has seen him become a major indie star over the past year alongside CKK (Chris Brooks & Kid Lykos) as well as in singles action. He’s become a top player in PROGRESS, Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW)<\/strong> and WCPW<\/strong> in the past year, as well as appearances with Ring of Honor<\/strong> and for WWE during the PROGRESS Showcase at this year’s WrestleMania Axxess<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
