As reported earlier, WWE India is coming up with a big event, next month for professional wrestling fans in the subcontinent. While nothing has officially been declared by the WWE, it’s speculated to be a large-scale event. There’s no update available on whether it will be a televised or non-televised show.
WWE India is considered to be the second-largest market outside the United States and for the first time since 2017, an event in the country will be hosted. Fans are all excited about the show and the city and venue for the upcoming event have also been revealed.

According to the reports of PWInsider, the WWE India event will be held in Hyderabad, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium. The venue has a 5,000-seat capacity,
“PWInsider.com can now confirm the event will be held in Hyderabad, India at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, a 5,000 seat venue that opened back in 2002.”
It’s also been reported that this WWE India event should revolve around one of the homegrown superstars in Veer Mahaan. After months of vignettes, Mahaan made his Monday Night Raw debut on the post-WrestleMania 38 episode by attacking Rey and Dominik Mysterio.

WWE India star is reportedly injured
Despite McMahon recruiting him on the main roster in hope of making a monster out of him, the run miserably failed. Mahaan has since been moved to WWE NXT, but he hasn’t competed in weeks. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed that Veer is currently dealing with a minor injury,
“Veer is injured, a very minor injury, but they’re still not letting him wrestle… Anybody else in this world would wrestle with this kind of injury. It’s like a broken finger or something, which people do work through all the time.”
In addition, the source also noted how Veer and his tag team partner Sanga are being touted as two assets for the WWE India shows. Hence, WWE is likely protecting the duo from picking up further injuries,
“They’re trying to protect him because Veer and Sanga have to be healthy for that India show that’s built all around them in mid-January and a lot of money is involved. So, they can’t risk him being hurt to miss that show.”
The WWE India event will definitely have Veer and Sanga in action while the show will largely feature stars from Friday Night Smackdown. Hence, Drew McIntyre could end up main-eventing the show. Whether Roman Reigns will be part of the event is a whole different question since he works in only a few selected shows.
