On Friday, WWE held its first show in India since 2017.
GMC Balayogi Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad played host to WWE Superstar Spectacle 2023. The live event is not being televised in the United States.
Here are the results from the show:
- A message from Becky Lynch played with Lynch apologizing for not being able to appear. Earlier this week, Lynch
noted that a "tiny tear" in her passport prevented her from being able to board the plane to India.
- Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn & Drew McIntyre defeated Indus Sher (Veer, Sanga & Jinder Mahal)
This originally started as a tag team match with Owens & Zayn facing Veer & Sanga. It was turned into a six-man tag when Mahal got involved.
McIntyre, Mahal, Zayn, and Matt Riddle danced in the ring after the match was over.
- Natalya defeated Zoey Stark to advance to a title match against Rhea Ripley later in the show
Lynch vs. Stark was likely supposed to be the original match.
- Gunther defeated Shanky to retain the Intercontinental title
- Bron Breakker defeated Odyssey Jones
- The Great Khali made an appearance and spoke to the crowd.
Natalya also posted a photo on social media today of her reuniting with Khali.
- Rhea Ripley defeated Natalya to retain the Women's World Championship
- John Cena & Seth Rollins defeated Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci)
Following the match, Cena gave a speech and said this moment was far greater than he could have ever imagined. This was the first time Cena has ever wrestled in India.
