Managing The Great Khali (2007–2011)

In 2007, Kapoor began his career with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as the heel manager and translator for The Great Khali under the ring name Ranjin Singh. On the December 21 episode of SmackDown, Singh would compete in his first match, teaming with Khali in a losing effort against Finlay and Hornswoggle. On the January 11, 2008 episode of SmackDown, Singh would challenge Hornswoggle to an Arm wrestling contest in a losing effort, after Finlay shocked Singh's hand with the glove that Hornswoggle wore during the contest. Later in 2008, Khali and Singh would turn face, with the duo hosting a segment called "Khali Kiss Cam".

On the April 29, 2011 episode of SmackDown, Khali and Singh would be greeted by the debuting Jinder Mahal. The following week on SmackDown, Mahal, unimpressed with how Khali and Singh were acting, would confront Singh about him mismanaging Khali. On the May 27 episode of SmackDown, after Khali was defeated by Kane, Mahal would shove Singh, with Khali then attacking Singh, ending their partnership. On the July 1 episode of SmackDown, Singh would reveal that Khali joined with Mahal because they are brothers-in-law (kayfabe), with Mahal threatening to divorce Khali's sister if Khali didn't do as he said, which would bring Khali's family back into poverty.

Singh was absent from television for over 2 and a half years, but managed Khali again for one night only in January 2014.

Head writer (2011–present)

After his last on-screen appearance in 2011 for WWE, Singh would join the creative team as a writer, later becoming the head writer for SmackDown. As of 2015 he's the head writer for both Raw and SmackDown.
