It was recently reported here on the site that former World Heavyweight Champion The Great Khali was set to make a return to World Wrestling Entertainment.
The original report came from Indian website IAmIn.In, noting that Khali’s contract with the company had been renewed and that he was making his way back to the United States on April 8.
There were even direct quotes from Khali himself, confirming the news:
“It’s not that I had no offers from the WWE. I had voluntarily taken this break as I needed some time to establish the institute in Jalandhar. Now that the things are on track I decided to get back to the ring. I will be back soon with some more friends from US who will help me on my project to prepare WWE wrestling in India. We have trainees from all across the country. Also there are four girls apart from 30 boys who are being trained there. I wanted that girls get equal opportunity and so we have provided space for girls as well.”
The Wrestling Observer posted the news story as well, although a WWE representative left a brief comment on the article confirming that Khali is not returning, per CagesideSeats.com:
“Khali is not returning to WWE.”
