The Pro Wrestling League (PWL) CEO, Akhil Gupta, noted a surge in fan interest due to the extended gap since the last edition, evident in the robust attendance at venues. The PWL 2026 commenced on January 15, culminating in the grand finale on February 1, marking the league’s comeback after a six-year break.
Gupta expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response from fans, emphasizing the significant demand for passes and the enthusiasm displayed by attendees. He highlighted the league’s objective of promoting wrestling in India and expanding its reach to multiple cities, with participation from athletes representing over 17 countries.
Emphasizing the collaboration between PWL and the Wrestling Federation of India, Gupta praised the seamless coordination and operational efficiency of the league. He hinted at surprises in store and lauded the positive feedback received from players, coaches, and viewers, indicating a promising future for the league.
Looking ahead, WFI chief Sanjay Singh revealed plans for the next season’s expansion to major cities, citing logistical constraints that confined the current season to a single venue. Singh assured fans of a more widespread presence in the upcoming editions, promising an enhanced experience for all enthusiasts.
