Mahal was released from WWE along with Veer, Sanga, Xia Li, and Xyon Quinn in April. A week after his release, Mahal posted a video to social media saying he still has “many goals” left to accomplish in wrestling.

What’s next for The Maharaja? I’ve been here before. That time I was a kid, but now I’m a man. I will only present myself in a way that I want to. I will only do things that I want to. I will only go places that I want to. I still have many goals, many dream matches, many places I want to go.

Where do I make an impact? India, Europe, Japan, Canada, Red Hook section of Brooklyn? Stay tuned. You got about 11 more weeks. Maharaja out.

The Journey Continues…

2001- 15 years old, no gear, no boots, a boxing ring with some gymnastic mats,
…. To the highest of heights…. Still climbing.
