As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, WWE released five talents from its roster on Friday (April 19) – Jinder Mahal, Xia Li, Veer Mahaan, Sanga, and Xyon Quinn.
Taking to Twitter, Sanga (Saurav Gurjar) commented on his WWE release. He said,
“When it comes to viewership, you want it from India. You want viewership on Facebook from India, the same goes for views on YouTube and television. But, when it comes to talent from India, you’re not encouraging it […] It’s sad, but you need to understand that we come from a land with 1.4 billion people, and they like you and us, and they want talented athletes from their home country to be represented and work on an international level […] It hurts when I hear this or think about it, but your company doesn’t have any athletes from India.”
In his video, Sanga heavily criticized WWE for horribly booking Indian talent and burying them throughout the years.
The 38-year-old wrestler further noted that he, Jinder, and Veer will do whatever it takes to uphold the pride of their nation, even if that means walking away from a company that doesn’t value Indian athletes.
Finally, Sanga expressed his confidence that the vast population of 1.4 billion people stands behind him and emphasized that they will work together to capitalize on future opportunities.
Sanga also wrote in the caption, “We are all always positive, and we expect everyone to be super positive🙏😊 Jai Hind 🇮🇳 #proudtobeindian #thankyou”
Sanga signed with WWE in 2018 and later debuted on the NXT brand.
