NXT UK and ROH Stars Teaming for PROGRESS Event
PROGRESS has announced the latest match for their 83rd Chapter event ‘Remove Child Before Ironing.’ The show will be taking place on January 20th from the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London.
The bout will see Drew Parker and Spike Trivet of ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ taking on Eddie Dennis and Mark Haskins. What is most interesting about this bout is the team of Dennis and Haskins. As we have mentioned on numerous occasions NXT UK contracts have certain ‘caveats’ that prohibit certain circumstances.
One of the alleged ‘rules’ meant that NXT UK Superstars could not work alongside/against those from other major promotions. These promotions included IMPACT, Ring of Honor, New Japan, MLW et al. As we reported back in December Mark Haskins has signed with Ring of Honor and will be part of their roster going forward. Eddie Dennis of course took part in the first NXT UK Takeover event this past weekend. Dennis faced Dave Mastiff in a No Disqualification match.
Whilst the terms of the NXT UK deals are still not quite fully known, or at least not been made public, PROGRESS is a company that is very much aligned with WWE. From reports in the Wrestling Observer all three of the company’s owners are working with/running NXT UK, so they may be able to leapfrog some of the restrictions imposed on certain talents.
