It was recently announced that WWE would be hosting a Premium Live Event at the Principality stadium in Cardiff Wales on the 3^rd September for the first time since 2002. The show has been warmly welcomed by the British Wrestling fans with the show pre-sale sign ups for this event, surpassing all previous WWE records in a 24 hour time frame.

Yesterday PROGRESS announced that they would be joining the WWE in Wales that same weekend with “Wrestling ,Golf, Madrid In That Order” a reference to Welsh football star Gareth Bale who spent time playing for Real Madrid whilst also playing plenty of Golf.

The show is set to take place the day after the WWE’s Premium Live Event on the 4^th of September at the Tramshed in Cardiff.

New Co Owner Lee McAteer had this to say on the show;

“As soon as we saw that WWE were making Cardiff their destination for a major stadium show, we knew that PROGRESS had to be part of this unique occasion. This will be the biggest weekend on these shores since Summerslam 1992 at Wembley Stadium, and we want to show all the fans who will be in Cardiff exactly why PROGRESS remains the number one wrestling brand in the UK.”

We only have a very, VERY small number of tickets remaining in our first batch. If you want to be at this event, you will need to act fast.
