Jonathan Gresham will be unable to compete at PROGRESS Wrestling events on April 17 and April 18.
The promotion announced the news in a tweet on Sunday. The post featured a video in which Gresham, the PROGRESS World Champion, stated that he is not medically cleared to compete:
“Hello everyone. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it to London this weekend for the Sunday and Monday events due to an injury. I have not been cleared to compete. So I do want to apologize to PROGRESS and the fans for not being able to make it this weekend. I really wanted to, but my health comes first and I just have to take a little time off. So once I’m cleared, I’ll definitely be back, and I really look forward to being back, working with PROGRESS and performing for you guys.
“So please keep me in your prayers, I’d really appreciate it. I’ll see you all next time. Thank you for understanding.”
Regrettably, due to injury, Jonathan Gresham is not medically cleared to make the trip to the UK this weekend. Replacements will be named shortly for both #AtlasWeekend events. Our champion WILL be back in action at Chapter 134 on Sunday May 15th. pic.twitter.com/pxGNAIs3YP
