Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Mahal was asked if he would be open to a return to WWE.

"On my end, yeah. Creative, if they have something, great. I don't want to go just to sit at home and get a text every week saying, 'You're not needed for TV, don't bother flying out.' That's the worst feeling. I don't have any hard feelings. I don't think I really did anything to blackball myself or anything. I was very respectful. I always did what was asked of me. I never caused problems. I tried my best not to. Whatever was asked of me, I did my job that night to the best of my ability for my entire career. I think that's why I had a long career with WWE," he said.

Mahal is set to compete at BLP Old Habits Die Screaming on July 26th.
