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. [35]

The tournament was held across three nights between June 3 and June 5, 2022 at the Electric Ballroom in London, England. [36]
