#4 Jinder Mahal is back on RAW, and big things lie ahead

Jinder wasn't hindered on his big return

It's incredible to think that between 2019 and 2021, Jinder Mahal was virtually absent from RAW. He had to deal with a long-term injury at first and came back in what seemed to be a different direction on RAW.

He suffered another injury and required surgery, keeping him out for a long time. Another year has passed and Jinder Mahal is finally back. But this time, he isn't alone.

A large part of his success in 2017 boiled down to The Singh Brothers - his two sidekicks. He decided to get a bit of an upgrade, and the duo of Veer and Shanky are now by his side.

His return to RAW saw him face Jeff Hardy, the man who beat him to win the United States Title in 2018. Veer and Shanky's help wasn't needed, as Mahal dominated the falling Jeff Hardy.

It looks like Jeff Hardy is on a downward slide, while Jinder Mahal could be on the rise if he stays injury-free on RAW. The Modern Day Maharaja might finally get that big push that he seemed scheduled for last year.
