WWE returns to India: 'Desi' wrestlers make a mark amongst a bevy of stars

Even as the crowd eagerly awaited the much-anticipated clash between Big Show and Roman Reigns, Indian wrestlers sought to make an impression in the WWE live event, held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium at New Delhi on Friday.

The crowd cheered loudly as the Indian wrestlers made their entry into the ring. Kishan Raftar, or Lovepreet Singh, defeated his opponent Jason Jordan and then Satender (Jeet Rama) got the better of Chad Gable, proving that the home-grown boys are here to compete and not just make up the numbers.
