The Great Khali will be making a return to WWE according to a report from Indian website IAmIn.In. Khali was released from the company back on November 14, 2014, losing his last match against Rusev on the October 28, SmackDown taping.

Khali revealed to the website what he has been up to while being home in India:

“I was busy establishing my wrestling institute in Jalandhar, Punjab. It’s a world class institute where more than 30 young wrestlers are being trained by trainers from USA currently. I have tried to provide best facilities there so that we can prepare world class wrestlers who can represent our country in the WWE world.”

“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.”

UPDATE: Despite the article containing direct comments from Khali WWE issued a brief statement noting that “Khali is not returning to WWE.”
