The WWE Universe in India is receiving a mega event in Superstar Spectacle 2023 on their home turf in about 24 hours from now. After a long gap of six years, WWE is finally returning to the subcontinent for a live event that includes the top superstars from Monday Night Raw. Initial matches for the event have been announced, previously but it appears a slight change has been made in one of those.
Previously, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were scheduled to defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against Indus Sher – Veer Mahaan and Sanga at Superstar Spectacle 2023. But this matchup was changed at the last minute since Owens and Zayn aren’t the tag champs, anymore.
