For the first time, Ather Zahid-28 will square up against his Indian opponent in a major competition. He will compete in the Karachi competition Orbit, where he will make his championship defence. Coach Kalisto, a former WWE US Champion, is one of the team’s most important members. Kalisto’s WWE tenure has given him a wealth of technical wrestling skills and experience.
There are several difficulties in competing against Indian wrestlers, including their proficiency in classical wrestling forms such as Kushti and their emphasis on stamina and physical fitness.
He intended to study and comprehend Indian traditional wrestling tactics, like Kushti, improve his own physical stamina and conditioning, and modify his approach to counter their grappling expertise in order to conquer the distinctive styles and techniques of Indian wrestlers.
He explained his interest in wrestling by saying, “Basically, back when VCR cassettes were in use, my father used to watch wrestling.” Since I was a young child, I have been fascinated in wrestling. My fascination in wrestling grew into a desire to become a wrestler because we watched it on TV like it was a festival every time.
In response to a query concerning his early years, Ather stated that he was born in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, and that his family moved to Dammam when he was ten years old.

He continued, “It feels great; after putting in so much work and making so many sacrifices, being a champion is an amazing feeling.” I had a mixture of immense happiness, fulfilment, and a sense of success when I eventually took home the title. I wasn’t completely conscious when the referee gave me the championship when I won it. I kept having flashbacks to everything that had happened to me until that point. Every sacrifice, every obstacle, and every victory along the road flashed before my eyes in a bizarre kind of a flashback.Aside from wrestling, he enjoys travelling, swimming, watching films, and living life to the fullest.
