The Progress World Championship is a professional wrestling World championship created and promoted by the British professional wrestling promotion Progress Wrestling.[2] The current champion is Cara Noir, who is in his second reign. He won the title by defeating Man Like DeReiss in a No Disqualification match at Night 1 of Chapter 194: Super Strong Style 16 in London, England on May 3, 2026.

History

[edit ]
Inaugural champion Nathan Cruz holding the staff that represented the title from 2012 to 2014.

The Progress Championship was created on March 25, 2012.[1] On that date, Nathan Cruz was crowned as the inaugural champion after coming out victorious in the four-way final in the inaugural championship tournament against Marty Scurll, El Ligero, and Mike Mason at Chapter One: In The Beginning.[3]

Unlike most wrestling championships which are conventionally represented by a championship belt, the Progress Championship was originally represented by a large staff with an eagle head piece. At Chapter 16 on 30 November 2014, the staff was replaced by a traditional title belt. The title has been defended in the United States at the WrestleCon Supershow in Dallas, Texas, and subsequently defended in Italy on 30 April[4] and Ireland on 16 July in 2016.[5] On 5 May 2019, the Progress World Championship and the Progress Atlas Championship were unified by Walter after defeating Trent Seven. The title was henceforth known as the Progress Unified World Championship.[6]

Inaugural PROGRESS Championship Tournament (2012)

[edit ]

This tournament was held at Chapter One: In The Beginning on 25 March 2012 to crown the inaugural PROGRESS World Champion. It was won by Nathan Cruz.[7]
