Nikki Storm and Xelina are set to join forces for the first time in a tag team match at PROGRESS Wrestling’s Chapter 199: Bonestorm, scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London. They will face off against Alexxis Falcon and Myla Grace. PROGRESS revealed this matchup on Sunday, highlighting that Storm and Xelina had previously squared off at the September 27 event When September Ends—Xelina’s debut in PROGRESS—when the match ended without a result due to interference from Falcon and Grace. Falcon reportedly holds Storm responsible for her ban from competing in Women’s World Championship matches.
The storyline developed in a backstage segment released by PROGRESS, where Storm approaches Xelina, who was speaking with her mother on the phone after the interference. Storm proposes teaming up to take on Falcon and Grace, saying, “Let’s go take these girls on, teach them a lesson.” Xelina agrees, marking a new alliance between the two.
Storm, formerly known as Nikki Cross in WWE until her release in April, and her husband Big Damo acquired PROGRESS in May. Xelina, who performed as Zelina Vega in WWE before her release the same month, made her European independent debut on PROGRESS’s Odyssey Tour in September.
In other prominent matches at Chapter 199, current PROGRESS Women’s World Champion Rhio will defend her title against No. 1 contender Raven Creed, who had earlier solidified her challenge by defeating Angel Hayze and Myla Grace. Rhio, a three-time Women’s World Champion, faces strong competition from Creed, who has declared herself the toughest challenger yet.
Tommy Tanner, reigning PROGRESS Atlas Champion after capturing the belt in a four-way contest at Chapter 197, will put his title on the line against Sha Samuels. Meanwhile, former PROGRESS Men’s World Champion Tommy End—previously known as Aleister Black in WWE and Malakai Black in AEW—will wrestle Luke Jacobs, a highly decorated champion in PROGRESS, in a singles match.
Details about Cara Noir’s first title defense since reclaiming the PROGRESS Men’s World Championship remain unannounced.
Chapter 199: Bonestorm will take place at the Electric Ballroom, 184 Camden High Street, London. Doors open at 2 p.m., with the show beginning at 3 p.m. BST (10 a.m. ET). Tickets start at £30.08 and are available via Dice, with the event welcoming all ages. The show will also be available for streaming on Hooked on Wrestling TV.
