Jammu and Kashmir’s Arif Khan is likely to become India’s new entry in the WWE roster. The 23-year-old has been training under former WWE star, The Great Khali, who refers Arif as “Badshah Khan”. The 6-ft wrestler hails from a small village called Neel, situated in J&K’s Ramban district. Renowned as Jammu’s Khali, Arif is currently training in an academy in Jalandhar and is busy preparing for the upcoming WWE India trials, which will be held in Mumbai.

Arif’s performance in the upcoming trials will determine if the 23-year-old will be asked to travel to WWE’s performance center in Orlando. A total of 40 WWE aspirants will take part in the trials. (Image source: Raja Rehber Jamal)
