About
PROGRESS Wrestling stands as one of Europe’s top independent promotions. Since its launch, it has built a strong reputation for delivering hard-hitting, passionate wrestling that combines elite athleticism with compelling storytelling. The promotion has successfully launched numerous stars who later achieved international success in WWE, AEW, and NJPW.
Known for its intense in-ring action, PROGRESS mixes technical mastery, high-flying spots, and stiff strikes that keep audiences hooked. Sell-out shows at iconic venues like Wembley Arena, Alexandra Palace, and their spiritual home, The Electric Ballroom in Camden, London, create an electric atmosphere, fueled by one of the most vocal and loyal fan bases in wrestling. The “Progress” faithful are famous for their raucous chants and creative support.
That support has taken PROGRESS global, having hosted shows all across the USA, as well as tours of Canada, France, Germany, Australia, and Dubai.
In a major development, PROGRESS is now owned and operated by respected veterans Big Damo and Nikki Storm. Big Damo brings 22 years of experience as a wrestler, coach, and promoter, as well as Television experience with WWE, TNA, and many more. Nikki Storm brings 18 years of experience, 10 years with WWE, and adds sharp character work, technical excellence, and a trailblazing presence as one of the UK’s premier female wrestlers.
Under their leadership, the promotion continues to deliver unforgettable live events with strong narrative arcs, innovative formats, dynamic matches, and fresh opportunities for talent. PROGRESS balances rising European stars with experienced veterans while staying true to its independent spirit, prioritizing wrestler welfare, fan connection, and creative freedom.
As British wrestling thrives globally, PROGRESS remains a vital launchpad for future stars. With Big Damo and Nikki Storm guiding the way, the promotion is set for an exciting future.
