PROGRESS Wrestling Releases Statement Regarding The Status Of Paul Robinson

PROGRESS Wrestling has released an official statement this week regarding the status of Paul Robinson following its return.

The British independent company made its return this past Saturday with the PROGRESS Chapter 104 event, which was the first show for the company since February 23, 2020 due to the pandemic and the Speaking Out movement.


Following the movement, which was mainly focused on the British wrestling scene, PROGRESS has taken a variety of steps to clean up the company.

Despite that, Paul Robinson, who is the reigning PROGRESS Proteus Championship, did work the return event on Saturday. He was one of many wrestlers named as part of the Speaking Out movement last year, but he did work the event backstage as an agent.

Following a lot of questions about it from fans, the company has released the following statement:

It was always our intent to name talent competing on each card, so that those who wish to watch can make a judgement for themselves. When a talent is working in a non-performing capacity, we require their permission to name them publically.

Paul Robinson has agreed that we can state that he was working as an agent on Chapter 104-108. Paul Robinson would have been an in ring competitor on this card, which changed only with conflicts of availability, and would have meant him being announced in the originally planned card.

To reiterate our statement from 20th February, all talent were aware who would be working backstage on the show, and no issues were raised. We are happy that everyone working on that show has passed all of our vetting procedures.

We ask if anyone has information about any of our talent or crew please get in contact via [email protected] and we will act on the information accordingly.

Thank you for all those who watched Chapter 104, we are looking forward to Chapter 105 this weekend.

All The Best
Team PROGRESS

PROGRESS will be holding the Chapter 105 event this Saturday on the WWE Network, and as the statement confirms, Paul Robinson did work the event in a backstage capacity.

Angel Garza may not have been a regular on television lately, but he has spoken of his desire to have a WWE WrestleMania 37 spot.

Garza got the opportunity to compete at WWE WrestleMania 36 last year, teaming with Andrade to challenge The Street Profits for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships. However, since that team broke up, he hasn’t been used as frequently on the show.


Angel Garza has mainly been used in WWE 24/7 Championship segments backstage, and he is a former holder of that title. But when speaking with ViBe & Wrestling, Garza discussed the fact he is hoping to get onto the card for this years two-day event on April 10/11.

“Of course, I hope so. Day by day, Monday by Monday, that is what we are training for. From the moment WrestleMania 36 was over, we start training hard and looking forward to the next WrestleMania. We wrestle every single Monday to get that spot, to get an opportunity and, if it’s not the tag titles like last year, for sure there will be other opportunities.”

“WrestleMania will be a two-night event so hopefully I can get a slot; I can get a match in one of those nights. Every Monday we work hard so we can get a match at WrestleMania.” (H/T to WrestlingInc.com for the transcriptions)

So far there are only two matches confirmed for WWE WrestleMania 37, both of which are from the blue brand. The current match card is as follows:

  • Roman Reigns (c) vs. Edge (Universal Championship match)
  • Sasha Banks (c) vs. Bianca Belair (WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship match)

Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair has revealed that she’s pitched a potential storyline with her real-life boyfriend, Andrade.

Flair and Andrade are a couple in real-life, and WWE has often brought in couples on-screen throughout history, whether it be Edge and Lita, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, or more recently Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.


During an interview with TV Insider, Charlotte revealed she’s pitched to be on-screen with Andrade, as nobody has seen that side of her personality.

“I’ve actually pitched that. I would be very much open to that. I’ve done a lot in my career, but nobody has seen me in an on-cam relationship, or in that light. I can come across cold on TV.”

Drew McIntyre was on the recent episode of Raw Talk, where he commented on Bobby Lashley becoming WWE Champion.

The Hurt Business star was able to defeat The Miz in the main event of WWE Raw last night to win the World Title for the first time in his career, and former champion, McIntyre, admitted that Lashley has earned this run.


“He’s worked hard for it,” said McIntyre on RAW Talk. “The man is an absolute animal in every possible way, in the gym and ring. He’s earned this moment.”

Drew also spoke about the possibility of facing Lashley at WWE WrestleMania 37 after he made it clear on WWE Raw that his goal is to headline the show again this year.

“The idea of Drew McIntyre vs. Bobby Lashley is pretty big for me, it feels like a significant match for RAW. If it happens at the biggest stage of them all, that’s just fine with me.”

He added, “There’s no way I’m not going to try and work myself into the main event of WrestleMania.”

McIntyre was also in action on WWE Raw last night in an excellent match with Sheamus, and he reflected on the bout saying that they kicked the crap out of each other.

“We kicked the crap out of each other, man,” admitted McIntyre. “It’s great when two heavyweights, two grown ass men beat each other up. That’s the thing with Lashley, he puts the work in, he’s the same as myself and Sheamus.” (H/T to WrestlingInc.com for the transcriptions)
