5 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon is currently looking to push

#4 Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal was sidelined with a knee injury last June and was bound to be out of action for at least six to twelve months. However, on April 27, 2020 edition of Monday Night RAW, the former WWE Champion finally made his return to WWE TV and defeated Akira Tozawa. This could be a step made by Vince McMahon to book him in a strong manner going forward.

Mahal's return was quite well-received by the fans on social media and since then, rumors have circulated the internet, speculating the fact that Mahal is in line for a huge push upon his return. So much so, The Modern Day Maharaja could possibly end up challenging Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship, as well if things go according to Vince McMahon's plans.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

After all, WWE themselves teased the possibility of Mahal vs McIntyre for the WWE Title right after the former's return, and on this week's RAW, we witnessed Mahal teasing a potential face turn. If that doesn't speak volumes on how high Vince McMahon and the company is on Jinder Mahal, then I don't what will.

A feud between former 3MB stablemates in the form of Mahal and McIntyre is not the best idea on the planet right now but it isn't even the worst. It could be an exciting feud given both men's history together in WWE but if you ask me, the right call that should be made by Vince McMahon and the company would be to have McIntyre still walk out with the WWE Title after a feud against Mahal. And, I'm sure a lot will agree with me on that one!
