Big Damo Comments On Booking Malakai Black vs. Dijak For Upcoming PROGRESS Show

Big Damo discusses an upcoming match for PROGRESS Wrestling.

The promotion will host a bout between Dijak and Malakai Black on September 4 in Edinburgh. This will be the first time that Black and Dijak shared the ring since 2018, when they competed against each other on a series of house shows for NXT.

Speaking with PWPonderings for a new interview, Damo spoke about booking the match and recalled seeing Black and Dijak wrestle on one of those house shows.

“Genuinely, Dijak seems like the perfect choice for Malakai Black’s first match back on the independents and first match back in Europe since WWE and AEW. So, we’re over the moon. They’re going to tear it up. I watched them wrestle in NXT in 2018 on a random house show, and it was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. So, I’m so excited to be able to promote it. I think Scotland is going to be over the moon for this match. We wrote in the blurb that this is probably going to be one of the best matches you ever see live. Because it is. We’re very excited. I know both competitors are over the moon to face each other again, which is awesome. We don’t always, you aren’t always able to check every box. But this is one of those where both guys are delighted about it; we’re delighted about it. Everybody’s excited. It’s very awesome.”
