In what was originally down as a match of respect between Alexxis Falcon and Rhio, the latest PROGRESS Wrestling show ended with anything but respect.
Alexxis Falcon won the PROGRESSS Women’s World Championship to a huge reception at Chapter 189 in Camden. Very quickly she made it clear she’d be ready to put the gold on the line against anyone – and it became clear that her friend and former title holder Rhio was going to be first in line.
The match started as you’d expect – both showing good faith in trying to outwrestle the other. There were a couple of low blows, but both apologised, although this set the tone of what was to come later.
After accidentally raking Rhio’s eyes, Rhio thought she was hitting the package piledriver on Falcon, but unfortunately it was the referee she had hold of.
A second referee came to the ring, however after both women had the opportunity to win he too was taken out with a missile dropkick from Rhio when Falcon moved out the way.
Whilst a third referee helped the second to the back, his back was turned and no official saw what was coming, and Rhio certainly didn’t expect, as Falcon smashed her in the head with the title belt.
As the referee entered the ring, Alexxis Falcon hit the Off With Her Head which was enough to gain the three count over a bloodied Rhio.
Falcon stood tall and even spat on her downed opponent, as ‘The Wicked Bitch Of PROGRESS Wrestling” was officially born.
It didn’t take Falcon long to show her disdain for the PROGRESS crowd either.
The show also kicked off with women’s action, as the debuting Aluna took on Maddy Morgan.
The crowd were behind both ladies, with Aluna getting a huge reception for someone who hadn’t wrestled in the Electric Ballroom before. The action was back and forth, however it was Morgan with a huge moonsault who was able to get her first victory in PROGRESS Wrestling.
PROGRESS moves on to For The Love Of Wrestling this coming Friday, before returning to London at the Electric Ballroom in London on Sunday 29th March with a show which will feature Mercedes Martinez. Tickets for upcoming shows are available now.
