Mr. Prasana Krishnan, Business Head, Sony SIX & Sony KIX, and

Wrestling events scheduled to take place in Mumbai December 2-4,
a pioneering move that brings an internationally broadcast

The final show, TNA One Night Only: Mumbai, on Friday Dec. 4,
will air LIVE in India and broadcast in the United States and
all around the world. Full information, including broadcast
details, will be released in the coming weeks.
Also present at the launch were three of TNA’s most recognisable

Ethan Carter III and Knockout Rebel, who are currently
undertaking a seven-day international media tour of four of
India’s major cities to promote the upcoming LIVE events.
In addition to this, Sony SIX and TNA announced the launch of

promote professional wrestling in the region. It is a testament

cultivate the sport’s viewership in mass markets.

expansive promotional tour, engaging fans through a series of
activities. The expansive media and fan engagement tour kicked
off in Mumbai today and will head to Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and
Bangalore. TNA fans in India can look forward to meeting and
interacting with their heroes in each city.
