WWE Edits Anthony Ogogo Match From Network

WWE rarely promotes non-contracted performers on their platform. That doesn’t mean the company doesn’t have a working relationship with independent circuits. On the contrary, WWE’s relationship is going strong with the likes of Progress and wXw.

WWE chose Progress to host qualifying bouts for the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic (CWC) tournament. WWE stars such as Finn Bálor, Tyler Bate, Johnny Gargano and Pete Dunne have made sporadic appearances for the London-based promotion.

The partnership with WWE means that Progress Wrestling gets featured on the WWE Network. However, this cannot be said the case for boxer-turned-wrestler Anthony Ogogo. For those who don’t know, Ogogo is currently signed to AEW.

The 33-year-old made his debut for the UK promotion on PROGRESS Chapter 127: “And The Word Was PROGRESS.” Ogogo took on Hari Singh in singles bout and emerged victorious.

The match, however, never made it to the network as WWE made sure to edit it out. While WWE did not give their take on editing out the match, Progress did say the bout is exclusive to demandPROGRESS and can be streamed on the platform.
