Storylines

[edit]

The event included matches that each resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by Progress' creative writers,[4] while storylines were produced on Progress' events airing on the Demand PROGRESS streaming service.[5]

As the "Unboxing" category of Progress Chapters tradition hints, the pay-per-view's entire match card was be revealed on the night of the event.
