WWE is reportedly in talks to hold a “major show” in India.
Riju Dasputa of Sportskeeda Wrestling reports that WWE is planning to host an event “on a grand scale” in Hyderabad, India, with a roster that is set to feature both Indian and international talent. Drew McIntyre was reportedly been vocal about bringing WWE to India, and sources considered him a “lock” for the event. McIntyre recently worked on a Bollywood project in India. Dasgupta cited sources who noted that the likely date for the event is January 18, as first reported by WrestleVotes.
WWE previously held the Superstar Spectacle event on January 22, 2021, and the show aired on January 26 to coincide with India’s Republic Day. The show was produced as part of WWE’s deal with Sony Pictures Networks India, and it was billed as “a unique showcase of Indian-inspired action,” which also featured elements of Indian culture. As of this writing, it’s unclear whether the reportedly planned event is a follow-up to Superstar Spectacle.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
