Popular YouTuber-turned-wrestler Simon Miller will step into the ring for the biggest match of his career at PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 172: Werewolves of London. Taking place at the iconic Electric Ballroom in Camden, Miller will challenge one of the most feared men in British wrestling, Robbo for the prestigious Proteus Championship.
Simon Miller, best known for his engaging wrestling content on YouTube, has built an impressive following for his insightful takes on the world of professional wrestling. But over the past few years, Miller has transitioned from the host of PROGRESS Wrestling, to commentator’s desk to the wrestling ring, steadily building a reputation as a tough, resilient competitor. His journey so far will reach its biggest peak so far at Chapter 172, where he’ll be vying for his first major championship in PROGRESS.
The Proteus Championship, first introduced by PROGRESS in 2019, is a unique title that allows the reigning champion to set the stipulations for each defence. Robbo, a veteran of the British wrestling scene and former tag team partner of Will Ospreay in the renowned Swords of Essex, has been a dominant Proteus Champion since claiming the title with his brutal “knockout or tap-out” rule. Known for his vicious, no-nonsense style, Robinson will not make things easy for Miller, who is facing the toughest challenge of his wrestling career.
Robinson’s reign as Proteus Champion has been nothing short of destructive, with challengers including Kyle Fletcher, Homicide and Timothy Thatcher consistently falling to his intense, hard-hitting approach. Now, Miller must prove he can stand up to the brutal champion and possibly dethrone Robbo in what would be a career-defining victory.
This match also marks the culmination of a growing rivalry between the two, as Miller has steadily climbed the ranks in PROGRESS, proving that he is more than just an entertainer, much to the disdain of Robbo who refuses to give him his due.
For PROGRESS Wrestling fans, Chapter 172: Werewolves of London promises a night of high-stakes action, with Simon Miller’s title shot being one of the most anticipated bouts on the card.
