MEET YOUR PREVIEWER
Ian Hamilton: Having just about kept up with Rev Pro’s relentless schedule in 2026, Ian is about ready for Wembley – and whatever that brings. Being in the middle of a house move, he won’t be part of a record-breaking Rev Pro crowd on Saturday, nor is he likely to even be watching live, and he’s hoping that this Wembley Arena show doesn’t act like a cliff face as it did for another promotion…
Rev Pro Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship
Michael Oku (c) vs. Connor Mills
On paper, this is a feud that’s steeped in Rev Pro history. It’s hard to believe that Mills only made his debut here in February 2020—long after he’d first broken onto the scene (anyone remember M&M from that PROGRESS Wembley show?) From day one in Rev Pro, Mills had been painted as being in Oku’s shadow—with his debut match ending in defeat to then-Cruiserweight champion Oku (and then putting the belt around Oku after the fact… before blindsiding Oku with a spin kick—something Rev Pro aped on their last show in Southampton before Wembley)
Whatever plans may have been in place for those two were then thrown into the shredder when the pandemic hit—with the first of Rev Pro’s empty-set shows opening with Mills retconning the angle, having “made up” with Oku. In its place, we had the formation of the “Destination Everywhere” team in Rev Pro, with the tandem of Mills and Oku winning the Great British Tag League and the British tag titles before the split in August 2022.
Since then, Mills and Oku have largely been kept out of each other’s orbits—a singles match at the end of 2022 was their only one-on-one outing in Rev Pro until the end of 2025… with an “unsanctioned” match six months later leading some (including myself) to think that they weren’t being saved for Wembley after all.
Mills’ victory in the Revolution Rumble just two weeks after that match booked him the Wembley main event spot… with Oku’s defeat of Jay Joshua for the title another three weeks on finally penciled this in. It’s a match that hasn’t been done to death over the years, and is steeped in enough story for short—and medium-term fans of Rev Pro—and with some of the build bringing up the fact that Connor Mills has never beaten Michael Oku one-on-one… they sure are nudging towards a title change here. Whether they close out Wembley with a parade of new champions – much like in February 2020 before “the thing”, remains to be seen… Prediction: Connor Mills
Rev Pro Undisputed British Cruiserweight Championship
Leyton Buzzard (c) vs. Nino Bryant
After losing a year to that nasty knee injury, Leyton Buzzard took a while to get back up to speed in Rev Pro—not helped by having a comeback match against Ricky Knight Jr. and then disappearing over to Big Japan for almost the rest of 2025.
2026 is where Buzzard hit the ground running, having dropped down to the Cruiserweight division, picking up a series of wins while befriending Joe Lando. The obvious turn led to Buzzard dethroning Lando in May – and with Nino Bryant winning the British J Cup the following month, the title defence was set with a first-time singles match.
Since then, things have gotten a little convoluted, with the rest of the Bryants being brought into the rivalry alongside Leyton Buzzard and the Top Tier team of James Ellis and Josh Holly… to the point where that particular story (which was to lead to a match in Cardiff two weeks before Wembley) almost overshadowed it. Ah, the dangers of running too many shows. Anyway, Nino won the British J Cup last year and turned that into a title win… something I can see repeating at Wembley Arena later this month. Prediction: Nino Bryant
Rev Pro Undisputed British Women’s Championship
Alexxis Falcon (c) vs. Kanji
They’ve taken the long way to get here… going back to April 2025, we saw Mercedes Moné defeat Kanji in her first defense of this title. Rumors and conjecture would have had you believe that we were going to have a rematch at Wembley, with Moné dropping the belt… only for Alex Windsor to unseat Moné at the end of 2025. Alexxis Falcon spent most of the time since Kanji’s loss needling her for being friends with the person she wanted to beat… and since Falcon won the same belt in March, that collision course with Kanji was nailed on. Kanji, meanwhile, was wrapped up in a feud with Rhio that ended in an iron fist match to be the only person to qualify for July’s Women’s Grand Prix (which she’d go on to win)
In that time, Kanji’s started showing a lot more edge to her character—some “in the heat of the moment” (like wrenching an armbar on Rhio after the bell); others perhaps not so easily explained away for a babyface, with her fighting despite being not cleared for the tournament final (and blowing off the alternate, Myla Grace) being something that went right up to the line of being a heel. Add in the “why on earth” addition of “Double Action” Shaun “Action” Jackson as another part of Falcon’s suddenly-put-together entourage, and you’ve got a classic Rev Pro match that was a lay-up that’s suddenly become horribly overthought.
In lieu of the Moné rematch, I’d not be surprised to see Kanji win gold in Rev Pro for the first time since 2022 (when she dropped the old Queen of Southside title, that had lived in Rev Pro almost as long as it had in Southside.) Prediction: Kanji
Rev Pro Undisputed British Tag Team Championship
FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wilder) vs. Cowboy Way (1 Called Manders & Thomas Shire) (c)
I’m old enough to remember when Thomas Shire’s debut in Rev Pro was somewhat unheralded… but the Cowboy Way tandem found its way to Rev Pro, with the pair getting on the crowd’s bad side as they frequently hopped back-and-forth across the pond. Ethan Allen’s latest injury setback forced the cancellation of the originally announced Young Guns vs. FTR match… and with Cowboy Way winning the tag titles, we were left wondering whether they’d get the FTR match or have another team to defend against. Cowboy Way’s insistence that FTR issue a fresh challenge to them just delayed things being “graphic official” – and the fact that this remains “FTR going for the tag titles” tells me the belts are staying stateside, but probably not on the cowboys. Prediction: FTR.
Leon Slater vs. Liam Slater
The short-term story here is simple—Liam Slater’s spent much of the year trying to manipulate, with mixed success. He was able to get the Lykos Gym out of the tag title scene, but wasn’t able to turn Kid Lykos II’s head… then, after having already rescinded Leon Slater’s “wish” cash-in for a title shot in December, ended up re-using it… albeit for a shot at the tag titles. The Slater Dojo won the belts at May’s Revolution Rumble, but the planned rematch ended up being canceled due to injury. Instead, we had a hurriedly announced tag title defense that saw the Slaters lose to the Cowboy Way… which was quickly followed up with Leon Slater getting a shot at Michael Oku at Bradford’s Summer Sizzler as that show was in dire need of a main event.
Liam’s helpful interference ended up costing Leon—and led to a blow-up after Leon refused to cheat to win. You’d think this was a nailed on win for Leon, but much like his last 18 months or so in Rev Pro, you’ve got the question mark of “and then what?” hanging over this, particularly if Leon’s on the verge of moving to pastures new. Perhaps not the glamorous match you’d have booked for Leon, but I predict a Slater win. Prediction: Liam Slater.
Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Jay Joshua
Jay Joshua’s six months with the British Heavyweight title was a “very Rev Pro” reign—in that while he had title defenses, there was very little to get your teeth into, as it always felt like we were waiting for something bigger. Once Connor Mills had won the right to challenge for the title at Wembley—coupled with chatter that the Wembley main event had been locked in for almost a year—you couldn’t escape the feeling that the clock was ticking for Jay.
So what’s he getting instead? A “dream match” with Zack Sabre Jr., who’s flying in for his annual gig with Rev Pro.
In singles matches, Sabre’s not lost in Rev Pro since before the pandemic (when he dropped the British Heavyweight title to Will Ospreay), and I don’t see any other result than a Sabre win here – especially since Joshua’s post-title run in Rev Pro started with him losing to Leon Cage. Prediction: Zack Sabre Jr.
CPF (Callum Newman, Joe Lando, Danny Black & Maverick Mayhew) vs. Ricky Knight Jr., Mark Trew, Kieran Lacey & Will Kaven
It’ll be the first time since February 2023 in PROGRESS that we’ve had all four members of CPF in the same team—heck, last time Callum Newman was in Rev Pro, he was in a brief rivalry with Maverick Mayhew over how they felt he’d abandoned them. On the other side, Sha Samuels is flipping between a rivalry with Man Like Dereiss and wrecking Rev Pro streams while arguing with commentator Dave Bradshaw… and was meant to have been linking up with lads who’ve taken his “mug” insult for themselves. A storyline suspension means he’s out of this match almost as quickly as he was added to it, with Ricky Knight Jr. returning to Rev Pro just in time to fill in the gaps. As the stated opener, this’ll be a fun party match and little else. Prediction: CPF.
Luke Jacobs vs. PAC
After Ethan Allen’s injury, Luke Jacobs is back in the singles division—but with the change coming so late in the day, there’s no time to build a rivalry for a Wembley match (despite Rev Pro having so… many… shows). So instead, we got an open challenge that was answered via graphic by PAC. Post-WWE, PAC’s been a somewhat infrequent visitor to Rev Pro and has only one singles defeat in 13 matches. Bet he wished his football team had that form. This’ll be PAC’s first appearance in Rev Pro in over four years, and while the result of this one isn’t in any way an indicator for Luke’s immediate future here, I have a feeling it’s going to be the familiar story of “pants down for the fly-ins”. Yes, you can get a flight from Newcastle to Heathrow… Prediction: PAC.
Rev Pro British Women’s Championship Number One Contender’s Scramble Match
The multi-person women’s match has become a bit of a tradition for these Rev Pro anniversary shows. Rev Pro’s announced it’s a six-way match with Rhio, Myla Grace, Emersyn Jayne, Cory Zero, Lucy Sky and Kay Lee Ray involved. As I’m assuming Kanji’s winning the title, I’ll go for a heel winner here. Prediction: Emersyn Jayne.
Rev Pro British Heavyweight Championship Number One Contender’s Gauntlet Match
What’s good for the goose and all that… this’ll likely be where a lot of the odds and sods of the roster get thrown in lieu of a match. This is running under AEW’s Casino Gauntlet rules, so to keep it British, I guess this is a Fruit Machine Gauntlet? Rev Pro didn’t run any kind of match for the coveted early spots. They must have run out of shows… Isaac Murray won his spot in this by winning a contender’s three-way earlier this month, and Rev Pro’s already revealed that Cameron Khai, Leon Cage, JJ Gale, Robbie X, Dan Moloney, Josh James, TK Cooper and David Francisco will also be a part of it. This could also be the match that gives away the main event finish—a heel win here may just tip off the main event.
Not knowing who’s in this is making predicting a bit of a challenge. Storyline-wise, he’s suspended, but I suspect Sha Samuels gatecrashes and wins here. Prediction: Sha Samuels.
Death Riders (Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta) vs. Flying Bryant Brothers (Zander Bryant & Leland Bryant)
This one’s going to be on the pre-show (available on Rev Pro’s YouTube) – and while my initial reaction was “don’t bet on the Bryants” there’s a very VERY slight shot that they win this one and start some mad push towards a tag title shot. Prediction: Death Riders.
Name a dirtsheet.
