PROGRESS has announced the first bout for their upcoming #CoastToCoast tour which begins on August 4th in the World Famous ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Grizzled Young Veterans will be facing CCK as part of the THUNDERB*STARD Tag Team Series that will be culminating at the Wembley Arena show in September.

PROGRESS has also confirmed that if the Grizzled Young Veterans (NXT UK’s Zack Gibson and James Drake) are still PROGRESS Tag Team Champions at the time of the event then this bout will be for the belts. The team of CCK (Chris Brookes and Kid Lykos) are one of the heavy favourites to win the THUNDERB*STARD match in September with their huge following in the UK so this is a huge treat for the Philly fans that will be in attendance.
