This former WWE star has made a major announcement about his professional life.

Mansoor, who is currently working with AEW and RoH, had a stint with WWE from 2018 to 2023.

He is part of the MxM stable in AEW, along with Johnny TV (fka John Morrison in WWE and Tyra Valkyrie.

Mansoor recently shared on Instagram that he has also been working with the biggest pro-wrestling promotion in India, WXM, as a booker, head writer, and showrunner.

He says the opportunity was bestowed upon him by his close friend Satender Dagar (known in wrestling as Jeet Rama).

Jeet recently announced his resignation from WXM, and now Mansoor says that he will follow suit.

In a lengthy, heartfelt Instagram post, Mansoor details his experience working with his close friend Dagar in the India-based wrestling Promotion and says that he is stepping down along with his friend.

For the past year and a half, I have had the privilege of acting as booker, head writer, and showrunner for India’s biggest professional wrestling promotion, WXM. The man who gave me that opportunity and trusted me with such a huge responsibility was none other than my close friend Satender Dagar, known to the wrestling world as Jeet Rama.

Now despite being a 10 time kushti heavyweight champion and legitimate badass, Jeet is the kindest and most principled man I have ever known. His dream for professional wrestling in his home country inspired me and so many others, including a tremendously talented roster and staff who were proud to follow his vision.

Unfortunately, with Jeet’s departure from WXM, I am choosing to step away from the company as well. I am immensely proud of the work we did, and encourage everyone reading this to check out our show on the WXM youtube channel. I hope they continue to thrive and wish them all the success in the world.

There is a reason we all lovingly refer to Jeet as “Captain.” He is the man that I’d trust to lead us into the unknown and take any risk. I am beyond excited to continue working with him, and will do everything I can to help achieve his dream of bringing Indian professional wrestling to the global stage. There is no man alive with more “Jigra” than our captain, Jeet.

I want to thank all the wrestling fans in the great country of India and around the world who have supported us on this journey, and can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Jai Hind!
