London’s PROGRESS is one of the four independent promotions currently offered on Peacock/WWE Network, which they started supporting there since August 2020. Most of the newest PROGRESS chapters will be first-run content starting at Chapter 104 and will feature four championships (PROGRESS World, PROGRESS Atlas, PROGRESS Tag Team and PROGRESS Women’s Championships). Although it’s not entirely exclusive to Peacock/WWE Network, PROGRESS has their own streaming service, it is the first service the show gets watched on (albeit on-demand). Because it’s a first-run show, we will provide quick results for PROGRESS shows.
Below are the results for PROGRESS Chapter 147: Unboxing Live V: Deal or No Deal:
- CPF defeated Dan Moloney, Luke Jacobs, Man Like Del Boy (Man Like DeReiss) and Mad Kurt by pinfall.
- Charles Crowley defeated wXw’s Maggot by pinfall.
- Lizzy Evo defeated Alexxis Falcon and Nina Samuels by pinfall.
- Tate Mayfairs defeated Simon Miller by pinfall.
- PROGRESS Women’s Championship: Lana Austin (c) defeated Millie McKenzie, Skye Smitson and Rhio by pinfall to retain.
- PROGRESS World Championship: Spike Trivet (c) defeated PROGRESS Atlas Champion Big Damo by pinfall to retain.
- PROGRESS Tag Team Championship: Sunshine Machine (c) defeated FSU by pinfall to retain.
Non-match notes:
- This is the first full Unboxing event to air on the WWE Network. There has been a Best of Unboxing compilation on there, but no full fledged Unboxing event until now.
- Man Like Del Boy and Mad Kurt’s entrance themes got dubbed over due to the original songs being licensed songs. (Although Kurt’s theme song was specifically made for himself)
- Mad Kurt made his Peacock/WWE Network debut at this event.
- Alexxis Falcon was originally scheduled to face Lizzy Evo, but didn’t come out. Nina Samuels took her place, but Alexxis eventually came out before the match started, leading to the match being turned into a triple threat.
- After the triple threat, Falcon thanked Samuels for bringing her true self out and leading her to decide that her current gimmick isn’t the real her. After shaking hands, Samuels attacked Falcon and crushed her larynx with a chair. She followed with mockingly “interviewing” Falcon for her own gain before she left.
- After his match, Tate Mayfairs’ victory parade got interrupted by Warren Banks who led him back into the ring. After Mayfairs eventually failed to prevent Banks from attacking, Simon Miller joined in on the attack as well.
- Gene Munny replaced Simon Miller as the MC in the second half of the show.
- PROGRESS Women’s Champion Lana Austin hosted a karaoke session with a fan joining in to sing a parody/rendition of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas (and a Happy New Year)“. Rhio came in after the song to attack Skye Smitson before LA Taylor separated the two.
- Gene Munny announced a self-organised show called “Gene Munny’s Daft Lad Emporium” for March 7th in The Dome in London, which probably won’t be shown on the WWE Network/Peacock.
- PROGRESS World Champion Spike Trivet talked about his championship reign until PROGRESS Atlas Champion Big Damo interrupted him to get a rematch from losing the World Title at Chapter 139.
- Gene Munny gave PROGRESS World Champion Spike Trivet his own belt instead of the World Title as a decoy to attack him and pose with both title belts afterwards. Damo attacked the champion even more thereafter.
- Simon Miller returned as MC for the main event.
- FSU’s theme was fully muted instead of dubbed over. They entered with the original two half-shields that originally represented the PROGRESS Tag Team Championship, which they handed over to Sunshine Machine after the match.
