Below are some top news stories of the day, involving Triple H and The Great Khali.
• AEW wrestler Daniel Garcia’s future in wrestling is uncertain as he has yet to sign a new contract with All Elite Wrestling, sparking speculation about a potential move to WWE. Despite his involvement in major storylines at All In and a match against MJF at All Out, Garcia’s contract situation remains unresolved.
According to Fightful Select , Garcia was originally considered to win his match against MJF at the All Out 2024 PPV, but the decision was changed since he hadn’t signed a new deal.
“Garcia was considered for the win, and that those in AEW say he’s not signed a new deal. Garcia has been offered a new deal, and AEW were hopeful he’d sign it before All Out, which didn’t happen.”
Garcia’s current contract with AEW is set to expire in October, and there’s speculation that WWE may be interested in signing him. While at least one top AEW talent believed Garcia would stay with the company, his future remains uncertain as of mid-September.
“One top talent had been under the impression this summer that Garcia was staying, but that is far from a guarantee. AEW believes that WWE has interest in Garcia, but we’ve not heard if any contact has been made as of yet.”
According to WrestlePurists, WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H views Daniel Garcia as the “next great technical wrestler”, likening him to AEW wrestlers Roderick Strong and Bryan Danielson.
Both Triple H and William Regal reportedly hold Garcia in high regard, believing he has the potential to become a major star in the wrestling industry.

• WWE Hall of Famer The Great Khali runs his CWE pro-wrestling promotion in India these days.
During an interview with RJ Rohan, Khali was asked about people calling wrestling “fake”. Here’s what the former World Heavyweight Champion had to say about it (translated to English):
“What do you think? I believe it is as you think it is. If you think it’s fake then it’s fake. It’s fake for you but for me it’s real. If you think it’s fake then I’m saying it’s fake.
See you have to spend many years on this. You have to spend a lot of time; a lot of injuries happen. It’s the toughest game. I say it’s alright if people still think it’s fake, just enjoy it.
If you think it’s fake then I can’t change your perspective. I have CWE. My wrestler will come and powerbomb you four times. He’ll give you a tombstone like Undertaker. If you still get up it’s fake, if you stay down then it’s real. It’s simple.”
