New Delhi, India, will never be the same after December 9th. WWE has announced a 'Supershow' featuring some of the biggest stars from RAW, as well as a special appearance from SmackDown Live star Jinder Mahal, who will be taking on Triple H in the main event of the evening.

To celebrate WWE's arrival in India, we've compiled a list of Superstars who will be wrestling in India for the first time. We're certain that fans are just as excited to see them perform, as they are enthused to dazzle the WWE Universe with their power-packed moves.

Here are five superstars who've never performed in front of the Indian WWE Universe thus far, and who will take your breath away when you see them inside the squared circle. Without further ado, let's go meet them all.

Can you feel the excitement in the air?


#5 Alexa Bliss

Five feet tall, but packs a real punch!

The RAW Women's Champion, Alexa Bliss, is a stunning woman who has captivated the attention of the WWE Universe in recent months. Unlike a lot of her counterparts, Alexa Bliss has fared better on the main roster than she did in NXT.

In India, Bliss will be going up against her arch nemesis, Sasha Banks. The two women have had some great clashes in the past, most notably at WWE Great Balls of Fire. We're certain that they'll be able to recreate their incredible chemistry when they square off again in India.

Bliss was the first woman to hold both the RAW and SmackDown Live Women's titles and is one of the primary players in the current Women's Division. What makes her unique is her incredible charisma and the fact that she's fantastic on the microphone.

The Goddess is proof that big things sometimes do come in small packages.

#4 Braun Strowman

Be prepared for a monstrous performance

As a member of the Wyatt Family, Braun Strowman never got to showcase his full potential. In very little time, he's become one of the topmost players on RAW. He's probably had the best rivalry of the year against Roman Reigns. India, get ready for a treat.

There is possibly no performer in wrestling, in 2017, who is as physically imposing as Strowman. The North Carolina native will take on Kane, a man who's performed in India in the past, as they settle their animosity. Get ready for a war between two Goliaths.

This will not be a high flying cruiserweight contest, even though Strowman is quite nimble on his feet. This will be a slugfest, from the opening bell to the bitter end.

Strowman is one of the best big men from WWE in the recent past. He's revitalized a fire in The Big Show, who's putting on the performances of his life currently. Strowman is a man with a very bright future indeed. He's on the fast track to becoming Universal Champion.

#3 Elias

Elias is not a good singer or a good guitarist either. Thankfully, that is part of his charm and his gimmick. With his songs, usually designed to get the audience to boo him, Elias can generate more heat than anyone on the roster.

He takes on Kurt Angle's son, Jason Jordan, during his visit to New Delhi. The two men have waged war in the past, often with guitar-shattering consequences. Of course, Jordan was part of WWE's visit to India last year, as a part of American Alpha.

Will there be broken guitars in New Delhi? How will the clash between Jordan and Elias unfold?

#2 Finn Balor

The Demon King is all set to impress his fans in India

Finn Balor is one of the most popular superstars on the current RAW roster, and also the first WWE Universal Champion. If that wasn't enough, he's also the longest reigning champion in NXT history. He's coming to India to take on 'The Eater of Worlds' this December.

We caught up with Balor ahead of his trip to India, and he was a man of many words. While he emerges as the 'Demon King' from Irish mythology on certain occasions, we're not certain which of his two avatars will show up in India.

Expect a power-packed match as the two performers tap into their dark side and unleash their hard-hitting strikes. This match has the potential to steal the show.

#1 Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has done it all, really. He was the first NXT Champion and then went on to have a glorious run with The Shield after he got called up to the main roster, shortly thereafter. He would turn on his Shield brothers and embark on a singles run like none other, in due course of time.

Well, The Shield is back and Seth Rollins will join this fellow hounds as they take on The Bar and Samoa Joe in a six-man tag team match. This is guaranteed to be one of the best matches of the night. The action will be absolutely intense.
