World-renowned star Mercedes Martinez has shot straight in to the PROGRESS Wrestling title picture and will challenge Alexxis Falcon for the gold next month.
Alexxis Falcon defeated Rayne Leverkusen at Chapter 189 back in January to capture the gold, with a match which left fans surrounding the ring in support of the new title holder.
However, one month later the mood shifted significantly during Falcon’s defence against her friend Rhio. At Chapter 190 in the Electric Ballroom, what originally seemed like they could have been accidental tactics soon turned out to be predetermined, especially when Falcon smashed Rhio with the title belt.
Her next defence will take place when PROGRESS Wrestling are back in the Ballroom on Sunday 29th March, and it’s been announced that it will be up against Mercedes Martinez.
Martinez is a true veteran of the wrestling industry, garnering respect wherever she goes, and has held gold in the likes of SHIMMER and Ring Of Honor, meaning this will be an extremely tough test for the ‘The Wicked Bitch Of Wrestling’.
Doors open for the event at 2pm with first bell at 3pm. Tickets start at £30 and are available now.
