Three-time women’s world champion Adeline Gray of USA called the league a “historic move in international wrestling that, by bringing in huge sums of money, has taken a bold step in popularizing the sport at world level.”[4] Dabur Chawanprash was the title sponsor of the first edition. The first season became very popular in India and the winner of the first season was Revanta Mumbai Garuda.

There will be six teams, each consisting of a total of 1 Icon and 8 other players. Among them, there will be 5 Indians and 4 foreign players, consisting of 5 men and 4 women. Out of these 5 foreign players, only 4 can be part of a tie.[3] Each tie will be contested based on 7 bouts (and two blocked categories), except for the final, for which all 9 bouts will be played. A total of 18 ties (15 league ties, 2 semifinals, and final) will be played.
There will be 5 weight categories (57 kg, 65 Kg, 74 Kg, 97 Kg, 125 Kg) for men, and 4 weight categories (49 Kg, 53 Kg, 58 Kg, 69 Kg) for women. Each team can block one weight category before the bout starts. The league will be played on the 'best of nine', and each bout will have 2 rounds of 3 minutes each, separated by a 90 seconds break.[3]
