It will stream on WWE Network at the same time it airs on Sony Ten 1, Sony Ten 3, and Sony MAX in India – 9:30 a.m. Eastern.

– Jinder Mahal opened the show, congratulated India for Republic Day and asks the fans to “blow the roof off” with their reaction so India gets a weekly show.

– Big E and Xavier Woods came out and did their usual skit before the Street Profits interrupted. They then introduced a performance from Spinning Canvas.

– The show begins proper with the WWE opening video, then the India national anthem. Triple H narrated a promo about WWE’s relationship with India, with clips of various wrestlers (John Cena, Bret Hart, etc) visiting the country. There were clips of traditional Indian wrestling and videos of The Great Khali, the Bollywood Boyz, Jinder Mahal and others.

Former WWE champion Mahal has been out of action since last June when he underwent knee surgery, his second in as many years. Current WWE champion McIntyre is making his first appearance since his COVID diagnosis was announced almost two weeks ago. His return was expected, but is a welcome sign nonetheless. His being cleared for this means we’re full speed ahead for his match with Goldberg at Royal Rumble on Jan. 31.

We’ll see how Superstar Spectacle is received, especially in the market its intended for. WWE hasn’t tailored a product this specifically for a non-U.S. or U.K. audience, which shows how important India is to their growth plans.
