WWE Monday Night RAW Aug. 1, 2016: Results, Grades & Reflections

JINDER MAHAL PICKS HIS SIDE WISELY

Bringing Mahal back can be a really good thing, IF he's booked and managed properly. This guy has all the intangibles to be a solid addition to the Raw roster.

Moving forward, Jinder Mahal doesn't need to be booked as some air guitar playing goof. He is a quality heel and should be used accordingly. Hopefully the creative powers that be will see the true potential in what's right in front of them.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
