Bengaluru, May 11: Indian-origin Superstar Jinder Mahal made his return to WWE Monday Night RAW during this week’s WrestleMania Backlash go-home episode. He introduced a new faction with Veer (Rinku Singh) and Shanky (Dilsher Shanky) by his side. The alliance helped Mahal to defeat Jeff Hardy in singles action.
This was the former WWE Champion’s first RAW match since a win over Akira Tozawa on April 27, 2020 episode. Originally, he made his return to the ring during last Thursday’s WWE Main Event episode where he also picked up a win over Hardy in singles action.
There’s no update available on WWE’s future plans with Jinder Mahal, but in a pre-match promo on the red brand, he noted that he’s out there to remind everyone why he was once a WWE Champion.
