The event will reportedly be held on January 18, 2023. It is also currently unknown how, or if, this event will be broadcast.

It is reported that the roster will be a mixture of WWE Superstars as well as Indian competitors. As of now, the only Superstar reported to be locked for the event is Drew McIntyre. Drew was recently in India for a Bollywood project.

It could not be confirmed whether or not this would be a follow-up to WWE Superstar Spectacle, an event that was held for the Indian audience within the WWE Thunderdome on January 22, 2021 and aired on January 26 for India's Republic Day.

At the time of that event, there were plans to form an NXT brand located in India, creating a brand specifically catered to that audience. Learn more about those plans here.
