PROGRESS Wrestling is thrilled to announce that Marina Shafir, the current DEFY Women’s Champion, will make her highly anticipated UK debut at PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 171: “History is written by the victors” on Sunday, September 22nd, at the historic Electric Ballroom in London.
Marina Shafir, known to wrestling fans as “The PROBLEM,” has been making waves in the wrestling world with her fierce in-ring style and formidable presence. Shafir has gained significant attention recently following her collaboration with Jon Moxley on AEW TV and now, she is set to bring her unique brand of intensity to British soil for the first time, giving UK fans a rare opportunity to see the DEFY Women’s Champion live in action.
Reflecting on her upcoming debut, Marina Shafir took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her excitement: “First time wrestling in England. Thank you PROGRESS. Let’s make it memorable.”
Lee McAteer, co-owner of PROGRESS Wrestling, shared his excitement about Shafir’s arrival: “We have our merger with DEFY Wrestling in place, and it has resulted in lots of talent shares already with the likes of Mark Haskins and Man Like Dereiss impressing over in Seattle, whilst we have been lucky enough to have a DEFY World Championship on our last show when KENTA defended against Ricky Knight Jr. We are so excited to welcome The PROBLEM Marina Shafir to our Chapter 170 show on Sunday, September 22nd. Now it’s down to us to find her the best opponent from the UK to face the DEFY Women’s World Champion on her UK debut!”
Marina Shafir’s UK debut represents the growing synergy between DEFY Wrestling and PROGRESS Wrestling, bringing together the best talent from both sides of the Atlantic.
