PROGRESS Chapter 176 has its first match announced, as a huge first-time matchup between Subculture and Young Guns is taking place.
This is arguably one of the biggest tag matches that could happen in the UK right now. Subculture, the all-Welsh team comprised of Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster, are former NXT UK and TNA World Tag Team Champions and two of the UK’s biggest stars.
Meanwhile, the Young Guns had an incredible 2024. Progress Champion Luke Jacobs held the Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship until December last year and will be looking to kick off 2025 with a huge win.
His partner, Ethan Allen, also stepped up his game in the past year. He put on some amazing matches since coming out of seeming retirement and has to be in the conversation for the most underrated UK talent today.
The Young Guns vs SubCulture is the first match announced for PROGRESS Chapter 176: ‘For The Love Of Progress 3’. The event is in their former duo’s hometown of Manchester and looks like it will, in the company’s own words, be a “banger”.
“The Young Guns return to their hometown of Manchester for a FIRST time ever match against SUBCULTURE. Banger incoming at Chapter 176 on Valentine’s Day!”
Check out our match card and predictions for Progress Chapter 176!
We predict that Subculture will win the match, thanks to interference from the PROGRESS key holder, Tate Mayfairs. He is looking to cash in his title shot against Luke Jacobs at PROGRESS Chapter 177 and will want to get one over with him with some brass knuckles of Valentine’s Day in Manchester.
SubCulture could then go on to face the Smokin’ Aces in the future, possibly as PROGRESS Chapter 177 for the PROGRESS Tag Team Championships, assuming they go on to win this bout against the Young Guns.
Chapter 176, titled “For The Love Of Progress” sees the fallout of the brilliant “Unboxing VII” even from the end of 2024. The New Year for Progress kicks off on February 14th at the Bowlers BEC Arena.
