I have your blessings with me and the grace of God. Everything is fine; the car just had a minor collision. But I didn’t want to tell anyone and make a big deal out of a small issue.

The Great Khali could return to a WWE ring

The Great Khali was among WWE’s most feared heels during the early stages of his run. He shared the ring with legends, such as The Undertaker, John Cena, and Triple H. The Punjabi Playboy was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.

Khali is no longer an active competitor. However, many fans want him to return to the squared circle for another match. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, the former World Heavyweight Champion said he could lace up his wrestling boots for a one-off appearance in the Royal Rumble Match.

The Indian superstar revealed that injury issues wouldn’t allow him to make a full-time return to the ring. It will be interesting to see if he makes an appearance on WWE programming in the coming years.
