Rhio is on the shelf. The current and three-time PROGRESS Women’s Champion has been pulled from the promotion’s Chapter 199: BONESTORM event on October 25 in London after suffering an injury the night before the show.

PROGRESS Wrestling Announces Rhio Injury at Chapter 199 BONESTORM
PROGRESS announced the match change on social media, writing that due to an injury suffered last night, PROGRESS Women’s World Champion Rhio is unable to compete at Chapter 199: BONESTORM. The promotion added that Rhio is “tough beyond belief” and wished her the very best, hoping she returns as soon as possible.
No details about the nature or severity of the injury have been shared yet, and it is not clear how long the champion will be out of action. Fightful notes it will relay updates as more details emerge about her status.
Raven Creed Gets New Opponent: MARZ Steps Up
Rhio’s withdrawal left number one contender Raven Creed without an opponent — and Creed demanded a fight. PROGRESS responded by bringing in an exciting young talent to step up and take the opportunity: MARZ.
The Australian native is only a few years into her career but is already well travelled, most recently wrestling in Japan for TJPW, Ice Ribbon and Pro Wrestling Diana. PROGRESS teased the stakes directly, asking what could happen if MARZ defeats the number one contender to the PROGRESS Women’s World Title.
That twist makes BONESTORM’s women’s division picture far more unpredictable. A win for the newcomer over Creed could shake up the title scene while the champion recovers, and fans will be watching closely to see whether MARZ can seize the biggest opportunity of her young career.
