Khali On His Comeback:
“The company told me that the Punjabi Prison match is happening after such a long time and I was extremely happy that they wanted me to be a part of the match. It is a proud moment for India that Jinder Mahal has made it big in this company and this can be an inspiration for the youngsters to aspire to be a WWE superstar.”
Jinder On His Relationship With Khali:
“I have a great relationship with Khali, he is like an older brother. He was my role model in WWE; he was a great champion and put India on the map and I want to do the same and hopefully he was happy with my performance in the match.”
Khali’s Next Move:
“I don’t want to be the last Great Khali to come out of India. My wish is to create more superstars from my country. I was here to support Jinder and I will be there if he needs my help again. There is a perception that pro-wrestling and especially WWE is for the Americans and the Europeans, but, I disagree with that kind of thinking completely and the students of my wrestling school are living examples of what Indians can do in this field.”
