Calling out a former WWE Champion is always risky business but trying to call out The Maharaja is Kevin Ku did.
Kevin Ku, after defending the BLP Heavyweight Title against Miyu Yamashita, took to the microphone during BLP's Family Reunion event to call out the former Jinder Mahal, Raj Dhesi.
Dhesi would familiarly respond to this by taking to X (formerly Twitter) and asking who exactly Kevin Ku is.
Dhesi was recently released by WWE and is already signed to appear at BLP Old Habits Die Screaming on July 26.

Dhesi had previously put out a similar tweet in regards to HOOK after both he and HOOK were given opportunities at the AEW and WWE World Titles respectively.
Both Kevin Ku and the former Jinder Mahal have successfully won Punjabi Prison Matches. As part of Violence is Forever with Dominic Garrini, Ku defeated Juicy Finau & Zilla Fatu, The Bollywood Boyz (Gurv Sihra & Harv Sihra), and Los Macizos (Ciclope & Miedo Extremo) to retain the GCW world Tag Team Championship at Joey Janela's Spring Break: Clusterfuck Forever.
Mahal on the other hand, successfully defended the WWE Championship against Randy Orton inside the Punjabi Prison at WWE Battleground in 2017.
Ku did not need The Great Khali's help to retain his championship, however.
