The new era of PROGRESS Wrestling has taken an early twist, as Rhio was able to dethrone Alexxis Falcon in London to become Women’s Champion.
Having won the first ever Women’s Super Strong Style tournament, ‘The Most Dangerous Woman In Europe’ was quick to cash in her shot for the title the next time PROGRESS came to the Electric Ballroom in Camden.
The pair went face to face straight away after the bell, and it was the hard-hitting affair you would fully expect, with Falcon doing everything she could to bend the rules in her favour.
At one point she even started removing parts of the ring to distract the official, and then tried to make it look like Rhio had hit her with the title belt – only for Rhio to retaliate by laying down herself so the referee saw them both down.
The involvement for the official was far from over, as Falcon then managed to pull him in the way of a superkick attempt by Rhio – at which point she went back to the title belt and managed to hit the challenger, but it was only enough to get a two count.
In the end Rhio hit her package piledriver but wasn’t done with her opponent – who then decided to spit in her face. Another flurry from Rhio and another package piledriver, and a new PROGRESS Wrestling Women’s Champion was crowned.
Also on the show, Nikki Storm made her return to England and took on Session Moth Martina. During the match Martina was often conflicted over whether she should cheat or not.
This also proved to be her undoing, as she took too long making up her mind and got caught by Storm to pick up the victory.
PROGRESS Wrestling return to the Electric Ballroom in Camden on Monday 31st August as part of All In weekend, with tickets available now.
