For the first time on US soil.

A British wrestling dream match has been signed for Vegas, as the current PROGRESS Wrestling Men’s World Champion Man Like DeReiss will take on Michael Oku. The two have faced off before, but never before in a PROGRESS Wrestling ring. The match has yet to be confirmed for the PROGRESS World Championship due to Man Like Dereiss having to defend the title against Kid Lykos on March 29th.

The huge match-up will take place at PROGRESS Wrestling’s Chapter 193: PROGRESS Las Vegas II on Thursday, April 16th at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be held as part of GCW’s The Collective during Wrestlemania week.
