The Pro Wrestling League (PWL), sanctioned by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), has unveiled its new official logo ahead of the fifth season, marking a revival after a seven-year hiatus.
League Resumption
Scheduled to return in January 2026, the PWL will feature top Indian and international wrestlers, promising high-intensity competition and a commercially viable framework designed to support the growth of the sport.
New Logo
The newly launched logo is a modern, dynamic emblem inspired by the traditional red-and-blue wrestling mat, symbolising strength, balance, and competitive spirit. This logo represents a complete reset for the Pro Wrestling League, which has undergone significant structural and operational changes under new ownership and management.
Renewed Mission
PWL’s refreshed mission is to create a world-class professional platform for wrestlers by bridging the gap between grassroots akhadas and the global competitive stage. The league aims to provide structured opportunities, international exposure, and a professionally managed environment for athletes, contributing to the long-term growth and credibility of wrestling in India.
Collaboration with WFI
The revitalised vision is being implemented in close collaboration with the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), ensuring that the league operates in line with national regulations and governance standards. This partnership is expected to strengthen pathways for emerging wrestlers to progress from traditional training systems to national and international prominence.
New Management
The league is now operated under the ownership and management of ONO Media, led by partners Akhil Gupta and Dayaan Farooqui. The new management is focused on building a transparent, athlete-first ecosystem centred on professionalism, integrity, and long-term sustainability within Indian wrestling.
Official Statements
Speaking on the occasion, Akhil Gupta, CEO of the Pro Wrestling League, said, “The new logo reflects our vision for the future of the Pro Wrestling League — modern, aggressive, and world-class. More importantly, it represents a clean slate. We are building a league that honours the sport and its athletes through transparency, professionalism, and long-term commitment. The past is behind us, and the focus is firmly on creating a sustainable ecosystem for Indian wrestling.”
Dayaan Farooqui, Chairman of the Pro Wrestling League, added, “This logo launch marks the beginning of a new era for the Pro Wrestling League. The identity represents trust, opportunity, and ambition. As we prepare for our return after seven years, our priority is firmly on placing athletes at the centre of the ecosystem and delivering a league that wrestlers, fans, and stakeholders can truly believe in.”
With its new identity and reimagined structure, PWL aims to usher in a new era for professional wrestling in India.
