Becky Lynch Confirms Her Absence From The WWE Superstar Spectacle India Tour
In the heart of India, excitement is brewing as WWE’s Superstar Spectacle 2023 is set to light up the wrestling scene. For Indian fans, it’s been a long wait—six years, to be precise—since WWE brought a live event to their shores. And this time, it’s packed with star power, with none other than John Cena headlining the show. But amidst the anticipation and thrill, there’s one notable absence—the absence of “The Man” herself, Becky Lynch.
Superstar Spectacle 2023, a WWE live event exclusively for Indian fans, continues a tradition that began in 2021. Back then, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented WWE from sending its roster to India, but the show went on, pre-taped in the Thunderdome, and televised on Indian Republic Day. It was a taste of WWE’s excitement, and fans couldn’t wait for the real thing.
But just ahead of this year’s Superstar Spectacle, WWE suffered a major blow. One of its top Raw superstars, Becky Lynch, had to be excluded from the card. Lynch took to Twitter to share the disappointing news with her fans in Hyderabad, India.
“I’m sorry to all the fans in Hyderabad, India. I was so excited to perform for you, but as there was a tiny tear in my passport, I have not been allowed to board my flight. @qatarairways,” Becky explained.
It’s a heartbreaking turn of events for both Becky Lynch and her Indian fans. Her absence means missing out on witnessing one of the most iconic and beloved figures in WWE history. Becky’s journey from the Irish independent wrestling scene to becoming “The Man” and a major force in WWE has been a remarkable story. Her charismatic presence, in-ring skills, and captivating promos have endeared her to fans worldwide.
Lynch’s tweet garnered a flood of responses from fans in India, expressing their disappointment at not being able to see her live. Many shared their best wishes for a speedy resolution to her passport issue. While it’s undoubtedly a setback for the event, fans are hopeful that they’ll get another chance to witness Becky Lynch in action in the future.
As of now, WWE has not announced a replacement for Becky Lynch on the Superstar Spectacle tour. The show must go on, and fans can still look forward to an action-packed night of wrestling featuring some of WWE’s top talents.
One of the headline bouts will see John Cena team up with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in the main event tag team match. This marks Cena’s first appearance in India for a match, and it’s a momentous occasion for Indian fans.
The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship will be on the line as The Judgement Day, consisting of Finn Balor and Damian Priest, defend their titles against Indus Sher, represented by Veer Mahaan and Sanga, with Jinder Mahal in their corner. It’s a battle for tag team supremacy that promises to be explosive.
The Women’s World Championship will also be at stake as Rhea Ripley defends her title against Natalya. This clash is a testament to the depth of women’s wrestling talent in WWE and guarantees a hard-fought battle inside the squared circle.
Superstar Spectacle 2023 features a stacked card, including Intercontinental Champion Gunther, Drew McIntyre, Matt Riddle, Bron Breakker, and more. Indian wrestling stars Sanga and Veer of Indus Sher will also be in action in a tag team title match, adding a local flavour to the event.
WWE’s return to India after six years is a testament to the enduring passion of its Indian fanbase. The anticipation and excitement surrounding Superstar Spectacle 2023 are palpable, and fans are ready to make memories that will last a lifetime.
While Becky Lynch’s absence is a disappointment, it doesn’t diminish the overall excitement for the event. WWE has a history of delivering surprises, and fans can still expect an unforgettable night of wrestling action, drama, and larger-than-life entertainment.
In the world of professional wrestling, India has a special place. WWE recognises the country’s significance and the dedication of its fans. Superstar Spectacle 2023 is not just a wrestling event; it’s a celebration of the global appeal of WWE and the passion of the Indian WWE Universe.
As we count down the days to September 8, 2023, WWE Superstar Spectacle is poised to be a night of thrilling matches, surprises, and moments that will be etched in the hearts of Indian wrestling fans for years to come. While Becky Lynch may not be part of this edition, her presence is always felt in the hearts of her fans, and they eagerly await her return to the ring.
