PROGRESS has announced that WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne will be making a very special one-off Independent appearance on WrestleMania weekend as part of their April 6th show at the Pontchartrain Convention Center in New Orleans.

Whilst the announcement is in no way confirmation of a WrestleMania spot for the ‘Bruiserweight’ it is likely that he will be at the very least appearing on the weekend’s NXT show…this also indicates that the “special relationship” between PROGRESS and WWE is very much in fruition, there were rumblings of a Video on Demand agreement between the two parties that would see PROGRESS appear on the WWE Network, however these have not yet been substantiated.

NEW ORLEANS: The #Bruiserweight @PeteDunneYxB will be with us on Friday 6th April for his only independent appearance of the weekend! Tickets: https://t.co/7cexAZv3PD #ThisIsProgress pic.twitter.com/M9Fj6K1SdY
