Someone needs to write some new lines for Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal’s promos, while a play on the classic foreign heel storyline, were fresh and exciting at the start of his initial push. A few weeks in, he's repeating himself in every episode, both in English and his native tongue of Punjabi.
Mahal has got the look, decent in-ring ability and even shock factor on his side. Sadly, if WWE keeps feeding him the same 1980s-ish lines week after week, the sheen will definitely wear off.
Also, why does Mahal need to cut monologues in the middle of the ring? Maybe involve him in storylines, heading into his first title defence? Maybe give him a jobber to squash? SmackDown Live just seems devoid of ideas right now.
