Battleground week full of twists and turns: Neeraj Goyat joins as Guest Mentor, drama intensifies with shocking eliminations on Amazon MX Player

MUMBAI, India–April 28, 2025: The Battleground arena was set ablaze with another week of fierce competition and jaw-dropping drama, streaming exclusively on Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free video streaming service. As alliances shifted and rivalries intensified, contestants faced challenges that tested their physical and mental endurance. From unexpected eliminations to the high-energy arrival of boxing champion Neeraj Goyat as a guest mentor, the week was filled with surprises and anticipation.

The week began with the Couple Powerplay, sparking a budding romance between Ankul and Anjali. Meanwhile, Rubina Dilaik surprised contestants with a special message, teasing a new twist. Kajal made her grand entry into the arena, joining Mumbai Strikers as their newest member.​ The Captaincy Powerplay led to a fiery confrontation between Shiva and Rathi, each representing rival teams and refusing to back down. The Individual Powerplay saw Ankul and Nisha emerging victorious, showcasing their prowess. However, tensions escalated, prompting Supermentor Shikhar Dhawan to issue a stern warning to the contestants.​

In a twist during the Couple Powerplay, contestants chose their partners, leading to Shiva pairing with Nisha Mishra over Mehak, claiming it was just friendship. Raja and Kajal clinched the powerplay victory. The elimination round saw contestants voting out Parth, leading to his departure from the show.​ The Team Powerplay brought victories for Haryana Bulls and UP Dabangs. However, internal conflicts plagued the Delhi Dominators, with team members standing against Rathi.

During the Fight Club weekend, Rathi found himself isolated, with only his mentor, Abhishek Malhan aka Fukra Insaan, standing by him.​ Amidst the turmoil, Indian boxer and mixed martial artist Neeraj Goyat joined Battleground as a guest mentor, taking over UP Dabangs after Asim Riaz’s exit. Neeraj’s entry stirred immediate tension, especially with Rajat Dalal, leading to a fiery exchange. The week concluded with an emotional farewell to Adnan, who was eliminated from the competition.

As rivalries escalate, alliances shift, and mentors clash, one thing is certain, the storm has only just begun. Battleground is now streaming exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available on Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
