Khali beaten down with a steel chair

According to sources, Khali was attacked by international wrestlers as part of the plan. However, things seem to have gone horribly off-script as he was bleeding and genuinely hurt after being pummeled with a steel chair.

The wrestler had to be transported out of the arena in a stretcher and was spouting blood from his head. Khali answered a challenge by “The Strongest Man in Canada” Brody Steele and from the looks of it, was sprung upon by two to three other wrestlers as well during the match.
