The energy displayed in the arena, the enthusiasm on social  media and the love of the audience confirm that India is ready to bring its  new revolution in the field of wrestling. We are bringing something that  will stand the test of time.” 

The COO, former WWE wrestler and Kushti legend, Jeet added “Indian  wrestlers have waited too long for a real opportunity, and WXM is giving  them exactly that. We now have world-class training, a competitive  platform, and a chance to prove ourselves on a global stage. This is just  the beginning.”
