Cara Noir Makes Shock Return At PROGRESS Wrestling Never Sleeps

After 16 months on the shelf with a serious foot injury, Cara Noir made his surprise return to PROGRESS Wrestling on Monday, August 26, appearing at PROGRESS Chapter 170: Wrestling Never Sleeps. 

Noir's return came about following the main event which saw Luke Jacobs successfully defend the PROGRESS World Title against former champion Kid Lykos in the main event. The likes of Leon Slater, KENTA, Man Like Dereiss, and Eddie Dennis all made their way to the ring to confront Jacobs post-match before Cara Noir's music filled the Electric Ballroom and he headed to the squared circle.

Noir then confronted both KENTA and Luke Jacobs before being left in the ring alone. 

Cara Noir sustained a major injury during his Steel Cage Match for the PROGRESS World Title against Spike Trivet in April 2023 and there were fears the injury was career-ending. Noir's injury was an intra-articular fracture to the cuboid, a chip on the calcaneus, and a chip on the navicular. He also suffered ligament damage and had "traumatic arthritis on the talus."

Whether Noir will be in action as part of Pro Wrestling NOAH's UK tour in collaboration with PROGRESS is unknown.
