WWE Backstage (April 28th, 2020) - 5 Takeaways from this week's episode

#2 Forgotten Sons and returning Maharajas

Mahal is back!

Jinder Mahal made his triumphant return to action on the latest episode of RAW, defeating Akira Tozawa. Henry opined on the same stating, "I was so excited not just because he returned, but he returned looking like Adonis. I always thought his one weakness was his legs but not anymore."

Booker T felt that he "would have liked a much better build up for him making his return." Christian added that "maybe it (his return) was meant to be a surprise" but that he "did feel that he (Mahal) needed to find another gear to stay like he was when he was the Champion."

Since McIntyre did it recently, Captain Charisma said that "there's no reason why he (Mahal) can't follow Drew's blueprint." Booker T added that they should "give the Maharaja about ten weeks of Tozawas." The 5-time WCW Champ also felt that he didn't "think we need to rush Jinder Mahal into anything right now."

The Forgotten Sons joined Friday nights following WrestleMania 36. Christian added: "They had a chip on their shoulder, but I like their message. The fact that they served their country but haven't been respected for it, use those talents that they have to serve them instead of serving other people."

He further states: "There is a different feel, a different style on each show. I feel like it's the same thing as Elias here for the Forgotten Sons. I think they'll fit better on SmackDown." Booker T chimed in, saying that "they're in a sink or swim position. Are they gonna make it on the main roster? It's yet to be seen." Mark Henry revealed that he "spent a lot of time with them and both have gone through the training they went through in the Funkin Dojo (Dory Funk's school)."
