A minute-long video posted to Twitter by WWE features wrestlers like India's own Jeet Rama and Kishan Raftaar as well as the Bollywood Boyz, Jinder Mahal, Mojo Rawley and Sami Zayn wishing WWE fans on Eid is being appreciated by wrestling fans on social media. Tweeted three hours before writing this, the video has been 'liked' over 800 times and retweeted over 300 times already.
Rami Stephen Sebei is a Canadian professional wrestler of Syrian decent, who is signed to WWE under the ring name Sami Zayn. Featured in the video, he tweets that growing up, he never imagined WWE wishing fans on Eid:
That sentiment was echoed by many appreciative WWE fans on Twitter:
The video featrures India's Jeet Rama (as Satender Dagar is known in the WWE universe), along with Kishan Raftaar (or Lovepreet Sangha) as well as real-life brothers Gurvinder "Gurv" and Harvinder "Harv" Sihra, who go by their respective wrestling names Sunil and Samir Singh. They are better known in the WWE world as The Bollywood Boyz.

Thanks #EidMubarak
Glad they could do it since the White House didn't celebrate it for the first time in 20 years...
