Bengaluru, January 23: WWE Network has the first-ever Superstar Spectacle scheduled for January 26th on the occasion of Republic Day in India featuring many superstars from the Indian sub-continent like Jinder Mahal and the Bollywood Boyz.

But it won’t be a live event as the recording for the same was conducted prior to this week’s Smackdown at the Tropicana Field at Tampa Bay, Florida. So the spoilers from the show are available, thanks to Ringside News.

WWE hyped up the show by advertising several main roster Superstars including Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, AJ Styles, Bayley, The New Day, Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, and Ricochet. Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was also promoted to be a part of the special.

Several Indian talents from the NXT division were also used for the show dedicated to the subcontinent fans. Plus, the breaking news was that Drew McIntyre returned to action as he was cleared to compete after testing negative for COVID-19.

Check out the spoilers from Superstar Spectacle:

The show opened with promos from several Indian Superstars including Guru Raaj, Bollywood Boyz, Jinder Mahal. Jeet Rama, Kavita Devi Singh, Rinku Singh & Saurav Gurjar(Indus Sher), Dilsher Shanky, and Giant Zanjeer.

Jinder Mahal came out to hype the crowd while also congratulating India on Republic Day. He asked the crowd to make a lot of noise because WWE could give India a weekly show if they’re loud enough. The New Day and The Street Profits joined Mahal in the ring to do some kind of Bhangra Performance.





Per ITN Wrestling, “A Dhol Beater came out followed by several dancers for a Bhangra performance. After Bhangra, a dance party was waiting in the ring for some Bollywood style dancing.” The matches for Superstar Spectacle then began after Triple H narrated how the Indian culture is important to WWE.
