- I will definitely be watching. I love tournaments and I wish WWE did more of them.
2) Possible Names Who Will Be Involved In The NXT India Brand
Sportskeeda also says that names like Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers are expected to take part in the NXT India tournament.
Here is what WWE wrote:
While the names of the participants for the upcoming tournament haven’t been set in stone, our sources believe that it may include the following names- Jinder Mahal, The Singh Brothers, Indus Sher, Jeet Rama, and one or more of the three recruits who were recently signed by the company after the tryouts in Mumbai- Gurvinder Singh, Sukhwinder Grewal, and Laxmi Kant Rajpoot.
My Take:
- Jinder headlining the brand seems to make the most sense. He gives them some star power and a name from the WWE main roster to hook fans.
