Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19 Could Feature WWE and Boxing Legends The Undertaker, Mike Tyson
The 19th season of the popular Indian reality show Bigg Boss is all set to premiere on August 24, 2025. Hosted once again by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, the series promises a blend of entertainment, drama, and celebrity intrigue. This season introduces a fresh political theme, where contestants will be divided into parties and vote to elect a leader who will serve as the house captain.

For the first time, the show will stream on JioHotstar at 9 PM before airing on Colors TV at 10:30 PM, with additional streaming on Airtel Xtreme Play OTT.

International Celebrities in Talks

Reports suggest that WWE legend Mark Calaway, globally recognized as The Undertaker, may make a special appearance on Bigg Boss 19. Although retired from professional wrestling in 2020, Calaway has remained connected to WWE, mentoring aspiring wrestlers on reality shows like WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats). If negotiations succeed, The Undertaker could enter the Bigg Boss house as a wild card contestant around November and stay for 7–10 days, reported Dainik Bhaskar.


In addition, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is also in discussions to join the show later this season, potentially around October, for a week-long stint. Sources told Bombay Times that the negotiations over his appearance and fee are ongoing. The show’s creators hope an international star of Tyson’s calibre will boost the season’s appeal, recalling the excitement brought by previous global guests such as Pamela Anderson.
