One of the most salient features of the inaugural Pro Wrestling League has to be its itinerary that ensures that the tournament is staged at venues all over India.
After kicking off in Delhi, the tournament makes its rounds around the country, also visiting Gurgaon in Haryana, Noida in Uttar Pradesh, Ludhiana in Punjab, Mumbai and Bangalore before staging the semi-final and final match-ups in Delhi again.

With a tightly packed schedule that runs continuously from the 10th to the 27th of December non-stop, audiences and wrestling aficionados can look forward to an action-packed inaugural edition of the PWL, brought right to their doorsteps.
