The 10th day of the 4th season of Pro Wrestling League 2019 sees the conclusion of the second leg of the competition. The fixture that brings down the curtains on this leg will be played between the Punjab Royals and MP Yodha at the Municipal Corporation Indoor Stadium in Ludhiana.

Dato Marsagishvili, Anju and Bajrang Punia have been vital for the Royals as they have won both of their bouts and would be looking to repeat their feats in this match too. Amit Dhankar has not lived up to the expectations as he lost out in his only bout.
