Pro Wrestling League: Babita out of PWL, Geeta doubtful

TIL Desk Sports/ The Pro Wrestling League’s star quotient took a massive hit on Sunday after one of the Phogat sisters, who are in the limelight following a blockbuster biopic on their struggle, was ruled out of the ongoing season.

The much in demand real-life Dangal girls — Geeta and Babita — were roped in by the Uttar Pradesh franchise, which also exploited the success of Aamir Khan-starrer Bollywood movie and chose to name their team ‘UP Dangal’ in PWL-2.

However, in a statement issued on Saturday, UP Dangal team owners said Babita will be undergoing rehab after suffering an injury in the opening bout of the team, indicating that all is not well with her.

“Babita suffered an injury in a comeback match vs Sofia Mattsson at the opening bout of UP Dangal and will undergo rehab for the injury suffered during that match,” UP Dangal said in a statement.
