The India Professional Wrestling League released its schedule for the regular season for the six-team league. There will be one match held each night. All of the teams will wrestle each of the other five teams, and the results from the regular season will determine which teams advance to the playoffs to determine a league champion.
The first opponent for Maroulis at 57 kg in the dual meet against the Veer Marathas on Wednesday is expected to be Ritu Phogat of India, a 2014 Junior World silver medalist and 2011 Junior World bronze medalist.
Below are the dates for all five of the Haryana Hammers matches, and the expected opponent for Maroulis, based upon updated rosters.
