GREAT KHALI INJURED BY MARK HENRY, CONFIRMS WWE
WWE has written The Great Khali off TV following the stretcher job after an attack from World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry on last Friday’s SmackDown. They posted the following on their website last night:
“WWE.com has learned that The Great Khali has suffered a fractured fibula following a brutal attack by World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry on SmackDown Friday night.
Dr. Michael Sampson confirmed the devastating injury to The Punjabi Giant and that the fracture was very similar to the injuries suffered by both Big Show and Kane at the hands of The World’s Strongest Champion.
The injury occurred moments after Mark Henry impressively secured a victory against The Great Khali following the World’s Strongest Slam. Wrapping a steel chair around the Punjabi Superstar’s leg, Henry ascended the ropes and brought all of his weight down on his opponent’s leg. Writhing in pain and unable to stand on his own, the fallen giant was tended to by medical technicians and taken out of the arena on a cart.”

NEW INDIAN WRESTLER DEBUTS AT WWE SMACKDOWN!
As seen on last night’s SmackDown, FCW star Jinder Mahal made his WWE TV debut in a backstage segment with Ranjin Singh and The Great Khali. They ran into Mahal in and spoke with him in their native language. Khali and Singh treated Mahal as if he were someone they knew from India and someone who was a big deal.
Mahal was signed by WWE about a year ago. He did an interview at Thursday’s FCW TV tapings and said that he will make himself get noticed in FCW and will become champion soon.
