Jonathan Gresham Wins Progress World Championship
Last night at the Electric Ballroom in London, Jonathan Gresham defeated Progress World Champion Cara Noir in shocking circumstances to become a two time world champion holding both the ROH and Progress World titles.
Gresham and Noir clashed in an epic title vs title match that saw Jonathan Gresham become the first American to hold Progress’ top prize, the match came to its shocking conclusion when Spike Trivet interjected himself into the match. Trivet had come down to the ring previously in an attempt to distract the now former Progress World Champion, only to eat to a suicide dive from Gresham he was eventually made to go to the back.
Trivet would reappear to lend the assist to Gresham by hitting Noir with a chair, Gresham would then deliver a low blow before rolling Noir up for the pin fall, Gresham was met with chorus of boos from the shocked crowd who had earlier been split in their support of the two competitors. As Gresham left to head to the back the Progress fans ran towards the ring to show their support for their falling hero as they drummed the ring apron as Noir lifted him self from the mat.
Gresham will now face Malik at the Progress’ all BAME show “Roy Johnson’s Everything Patterned London before facing No. 1 contender Warren Banks at the 10th anniversary show on Friday the 25th of March.
Cara Noir will now move on to facing former rival and current NXT UK champion Ilja Dragunov at the 10th anniversary show.
