The 2019 edition of the tournament took place between May 4 and May 6, 2019 at the Alexandra Palace in London, England.

The tournament was used to crown the new PROGRESS World Champion after previous champion Jonathan Gresham was stripped off the title due to Lykos Gym attacking Gresham's opponent Gene Munny at Chapter 134: No Mountain High Enough. The match stipulated that Gresham would lose the title if he got disqualified.

The tournament was held across three nights between June 3 and June 5, 2022 at the Electric Ballroom in London, England.

The 2026 edition of the competition will feature the first-ever women's tournament. Both of the tournament's first round bouts were held under the "blockbuster" type of matches and took place both inside and outside of Progress events.
