PROGRESS Wrestling brought its Odyssey Tour to the Edinburgh Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, Scotland, on September 4, 2026, with two championship matches anchoring a card that also featured Malakai Black, Lio Rush, Nikki Storm, Luke Jacobs and several Scottish standouts. The event aired on Hooked On Wrestling.
At the top of the show, Cara Noir successfully defended the PROGRESS Men’s World Championship against Man Like DeReiss. The result keeps the championship with Cara Noir following a significant singles challenge from DeReiss, who entered the match looking to take the company’s premier men’s prize.
Rhio also left Edinburgh with her title intact. The reigning PROGRESS Women’s World Champion defeated Daisy Jenkins to retain the championship, adding another successful defense to her reign on a card built around the promotion’s leading titleholders.

Cara Noir Remains PROGRESS Men’s World Champion
Cara Noir’s victory over Man Like DeReiss was the decisive championship outcome of the Edinburgh stop. With the PROGRESS Men’s World Championship on the line, the champion overcame DeReiss and maintained his hold on the title.

The result is especially important because the Odyssey Tour event gave DeReiss a direct opportunity to alter the title picture. A championship match against Cara Noir placed him in a high-profile position, but the final result ensured that the reigning champion remained the central figure in the men’s division after the Edinburgh show.
PROGRESS did not have a title change in either of its advertised championship bouts on this card. For Cara Noir, the successful defense preserves continuity around the men’s championship heading out of Scotland. It also means any future challenger will have to contend with a champion who has again delivered when the title was at stake.
DeReiss, meanwhile, came up short in his attempt to win the championship. The loss does not erase the significance of receiving the title match, but it does leave Cara Noir with the win and the belt at the conclusion of the event.
Rhio Turns Back Daisy Jenkins
On the women’s side, Rhio defeated Daisy Jenkins to retain the PROGRESS Women’s World Championship. The champion’s win prevented Jenkins from capturing the title and ensured that the women’s division likewise departed Edinburgh without a change at the top.
The bout represented a major opportunity for Jenkins, who challenged for one of the promotion’s two primary championships. However, Rhio was able to secure the result required to continue her reign. With both world champions retaining, the Odyssey Tour’s Edinburgh date delivered clear outcomes in the company’s most important title contests.
Rhio’s defense also gave the Edinburgh card a second championship conclusion after Cara Noir’s main-event victory. The two results underline the importance of the champions entering the show: each was tested by a named challenger, and each left still holding their respective title.
Malakai Black Defeats Donovan Dijak
Elsewhere on the card, Malakai Black defeated Donovan Dijak in one of the event’s most notable non-title singles matches. The meeting paired two established names in a bout that stood apart from the championship contests and gave the Edinburgh audience another major attraction on the Odyssey Tour lineup.
Black emerged victorious over Dijak, adding a prominent win to the night’s results. No further match details or post-match developments were announced in the available results, but the outcome is straightforward: Black defeated Dijak in Edinburgh.
The appearance of both competitors added to the event’s blend of PROGRESS title matches, singles competition and tag team action. With Black taking the win, Dijak was unable to halt him on the Scottish leg of the tour.
Storm, Jacobs and Wolfgang Score Singles Wins
Nikki Storm defeated Myla Grace in another featured singles match. Storm’s victory was one of several results on the show involving talent with strong connections to the Scottish wrestling scene, fitting for an event held at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange.
Luke Jacobs also earned a win, defeating Mark Coffey. Jacobs and Coffey opened the listed results with a singles contest that brought together two competitors accustomed to physical, hard-fought encounters. The official result has Jacobs going over Coffey.
In another Scotland-focused matchup, Wolfgang defeated Connor Molloy. Wolfgang’s win over Molloy rounded out a set of singles results that featured both established names and competitors seeking momentum on the Odyssey Tour.
While the available results do not provide finish details, match times or follow-up announcements, the outcomes create a clear picture of the evening’s singles action. Jacobs, Wolfgang, Storm and Black all recorded victories, while Coffey, Molloy, Grace and Dijak were defeated.
Lio Rush and Charles Crowley Win Tag Team Bout
The event’s tag team match saw Lio Rush and Charles Crowley defeat K.O.E., the team of Adam King and Marcus King. Rush and Crowley’s partnership proved successful against the Kings, giving them a notable victory on a card otherwise centered on singles competition and title defenses.
K.O.E. entered the bout represented by Adam King and Marcus King, but could not secure the win over the pairing of Rush and Crowley. The result places Rush and Crowley among the night’s winners and provides the only tag team decision listed from the Edinburgh event.
The match also added variety to the Odyssey Tour card. Between the two championship defenses, the Black versus Dijak bout, the Scottish singles matches and this tag contest, PROGRESS presented a lineup featuring several different corners of its wider talent pool.
Champions Leave Edinburgh Still in Control
The defining takeaway from PROGRESS Odyssey Tour: Edinburgh is that both of the promotion’s world champions survived their challenges. Cara Noir defeated Man Like DeReiss to remain PROGRESS Men’s World Champion, and Rhio defeated Daisy Jenkins to remain PROGRESS Women’s World Champion.
Those results give the card a consistent championship narrative. Neither DeReiss nor Jenkins was able to convert a title opportunity into a breakthrough victory, leaving the existing champions in place after the September 4 event. Any shifts in the respective title pictures will therefore have to come after Edinburgh rather than on this stop of the tour.
Outside of the title scene, Malakai Black’s victory over Donovan Dijak was a major result, while Lio Rush and Charles Crowley prevailed in tag team action. Luke Jacobs, Wolfgang and Nikki Storm each added singles wins to complete the lineup.
PROGRESS Odyssey Tour: Edinburgh took place at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange on September 4 and aired on Hooked On Wrestling. Cara Noir and Rhio remain the promotion’s men’s and women’s world champions following their successful defenses.
