Progress is known for their smash mouth British strong style of wrestling and has gained quite a following over the past few years. In 2016 Progress held two of the qualifying matches for the WWE Cruiserweight Classic.
Last year during WrestleMania weekend Progress held it’s first show in the United States. Last Year during WrestleMania Axxess Night 3 some of Progress superstars including the current Progress Wrestling World Champion Travis Banks were highlighted during the event.
