Hyderabad: Wrestling fans in India have reason to cheer as the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is set to make its highly anticipated return to the country this year. The WWE Superstar Spectacle is scheduled to take place in Hyderabad on September 8, marking the wrestling promotion’s first live event in India since 2017.
The official Twitter handle of WWE announced the exciting news today, stating, “Breaking: WWE Superstar Spectacle is coming to India at Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on Friday, September 8th, 2023.”
The WWE Superstar Spectacle 2023 promises to feature a star-studded lineup of top-rated fighters, including World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. The event is set to showcase a thrilling array of WWE Superstars in action, with Intercontinental Champion “The Ring General” Gunther, Jinder Mahal, Veer, Sanga, Drew McIntyre, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Matt Riddle, Ludwig Kaiser, and many more set to enthrall the audience.
The last time WWE held a live event in India was in December 2017 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi, headlined by a showdown between Triple H and Jinder Mahal. Triple H emerged victorious in that memorable clash. India has been a significant market for WWE, with the promotion hosting its very first show in the country in 1996.
In May this year, WWE CEO Nick Khan expressed the promotion’s keenness to organise a live event in India, stating, “We’re paying a lot of attention to India as well. We’re going to be doing a live event from India this September, which has not been announced yet, so consider that our WWE news of the day. So we’ll be doing a live event there in September, and we’re excited about that.”
