New Co Owner Lee McAteer had this to say on the show;
“As soon as we saw that WWE were making Cardiff their destination for a major stadium show, we knew that PROGRESS had to be part of this unique occasion. This will be the biggest weekend on these shores since Summerslam 1992 at Wembley Stadium, and we want to show all the fans who will be in Cardiff exactly why PROGRESS remains the number one wrestling brand in the UK.”
