WWE Hoping To Host Return To India Event This April

WWE is intending to make its go back to India within a matter of months, as long as the Zee-Sony India merger proceeds.

In 2015, it was reported that WWE was going to host an occasion in the sub-continent in January 2023, though that did not take place.

Throughout the 2022 Q4 revenues call, WWE CEO Nick Khan stated that a substantial occasion in India is still in the works.

“We’re waiting on the Zee-Sony India merger to be authorized by the regulative authorities. The hope remains in April.

“In regards to India, permit me to inform you, from our point of view, what’s going on there and what will go on there. We’re waiting on the Zee-Sony India merger to be authorized by the regulative authorities. The hope remains in April. Remember what you currently understand. COVID stunted our development chances in India and a variety of locations, however in India particularly, where I would state it was practically difficult to take a trip in and out of. We could not do regional occasions there.

“So as quickly as we have a sense of when the regulative approval occurs on Zee and Sony India, try to find a huge live occasion in India. The very best method to grow viewership, and I believe we’re seeing it showed out with our UK programs, with the upcoming Montreal program, and in other markets, is to have live occasions there.

“It’s a lot easier sale for our partners with their partners. It’s a lot easier sale for us with prospective partners, when they’ve been to the program, and they see the power of it. It’s simply a smoother course. As quickly as that deal is authorized, look for us to be there in brief order and to begin continuing to develop that empire in India.”

WWE’s last occasion in India was the December 2017 ‘‘ WWE Live India Supershow’ which saw Triple H face Jinder Mahal in the primary occasion.
