PROGRESS Wrestling announces title unification match

PROGRESS Wrestling is unifying their men’s division singles titles.

It was announced today that PROGRESS World Champion WALTER will face Atlas Division Champion Trent Seven in a unification match at Alexandra Palace in London, England on Sunday, May 5. That’s the second day of PROGRESS’ Super Strong Style 16 tournament.

WALTER has been World Champion since winning the title from Travis Banks in July 2018, while Seven has held the Atlas title since defeating Doug Williams in September. The Atlas Championship was introduced in 2016 as a title for wrestlers over 205 pounds.

This year’s Super Strong Style 16 is taking place at Alexandra Palace from May 4-6. Travis Banks, Ilja Dragunov, and Trevor Lee have already been confirmed for the tournament, with the winner receiving a future title shot.

WALTER, Seven, Banks, and Dragunov are part of the NXT UK roster, while Lee reported to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida earlier this month.
