Sushil Kumar is all set to take the WWE plunge

Two time Olympic medallist and Indian wrestling legend Sushil Kumar is all set to follow the footsteps of The Great Khali by joining the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Sushil, who had discussions with WWE's Canyon Ceman in October, could make his first appearance in WWE, next November. 

"Ever since getting the offer in October, Sushil didn't really pay attention to it, but after repeated calls from the WWE representatives, a negotiation has been settled, in terms of finances. But the major issue, in this case, is Sushil's willingness to continue an amateur wrestling career," a source close to the Sushil was quoted as saying Sportskeeda.

"Hence, November will be a good time for him to give this entire format a shot, post the regular wrestling season. Failing to qualify for Rio, and the entire Narsingh scandal has increased his hunger to win a medal again, and that might be the reason why he didn't respond to the offer as quickly. Right now we have decided the amount, but Sushil internally is unsure whether he wants to take plunge as of now."
