Simon Miller to Defend PROGRESS Proteus Championship Against Gene Munny at Chapter 178: Fix Your Hearts
The stakes are higher than ever as Simon Miller prepares to defend his PROGRESS Proteus Championship at Chapter 178: Fix Your Hearts, following a shocking post-match assault by Gene Munny at Chapter 177. With the unique stipulation of the Proteus Championship allowing the reigning champion to dictate the match rules, PROGRESS fans are eagerly awaiting the official stipulation announcement later this month.
At Chapter 177, Simon Miller successfully defended his Proteus Championship against the formidable Will Kroos in a hard-hitting contest under top rope finish rules. However, just as Miller celebrated his victory, Gene Munny seized the moment, blindsiding the champion with a vicious attack. Munny, making a statement of intent, not only laid out Miller but also attempted to desecrate the title, an action that left the champion furious.
Miller addressed the situation in a post-match promo, voicing his anger at Munny’s actions:
“You waited until the match was done, you attacked me from behind, and you tried to piss on my championship. Intent is everything. You want to end this? I can’t tell you what the stipulations are, I let the people choose that one, but whatever the options are, I am going to hurt you.”
This fiery declaration signalled a shift in Miller’s attitude – this time, the Proteus Championship isn’t just about fun and games. It’s personal.
Miller and Munny’s rivalry has been simmering for some time. Previously, Miller has faced off against the ever-charismatic trio of MothDog (Session Moth Martina, Gene Munny and Will Kroos) in separate encounters. These past matches have built the foundation for an intense showdown, but this latest attack has elevated the animosity to new levels.
Thus far Simon Miller has held onto his Proteus World Championship, but this time with MothDog going as far as they have, will they have masterminded his downfall?
The Proteus Championship is unlike any other, allowing the champion to determine the rules of engagement. While Miller has typically embraced the unpredictability of fan-driven decisions, this time, there’s a darker edge to his tone. With the fan vote set to determine the match stipulation later this month, speculation is running wild – will it be a brutal No DQ match? A cage match? Or perhaps something even more unforgiving?
One thing is certain: when Miller and Munny collide at Chapter 178: Fix Your Hearts, the fun-loving energy surrounding the Proteus World Championship will be replaced by something far more intense. The Proteus Championship just got serious.
Tickets for Chapter 178 including Simon Miller vs Gene Munny are available via the DICE app, and fans can also catch the event on-demand through DEMAND PROGRESS PLUS.
