That could be huge business, I know the Indian market has become a bit of a meme with all the times people have tried to start something with it but WWE is literally so big there and they have so many people that watch it. I actually saw just yesterday that the second highest viewed WWE Women's match on YouTube is a random Mae Young Classic match with an Indian woman in it

74 million views ​

Yeah the original tweet I saw said it was the highest but people corrected it bc apparently Ronda/Nikki from Evolution has like 80M I think it was. Still fucking insane though

Indus Sher gonna break YouTube

Indus Sher vs Bloodline.

Inject that into my veins.

India and their wrestling fans deserves this a lot.

I know it said live event in the tweet but i'm curious whether it actually ends up as a traditional live event or a PLE. Kinda hope it goes the PLE route actually.

 

[Chris]

I'm sure it'll be broadcast live on the network, but it might be more house show than SaudiMania

Only a 5k arena too so guess they're just testing the waters with this one.

Such an odd tag match added. Granted I realize having Cena on the card is huge, just odd on who he will be facing with Rollins, imo.
