Raj Dhesi Opens Up on His Final Days in the WWE as Jinder Mahal

Raj Dhesi, fka Jinder Mahal, recently appeared at Chris Jericho's Talk is Jericho Podcast where he opened up on his time before leaving the WWE. He was engaged with the tag team Indus Sher. Dhesi said that the WWE had retired him by not putting him in any action. They also informed him that he wasn't an active wrestler anymore.

“So the last two years, I wasn’t doing much. I was managing Indus Sher. In a way, they had retired me. They told me I wasn’t an active wrestler anymore, which was kind of weird. I think maybe they just wanted the focus to be on Indus Sher.

"I don’t know, something fresh, something new, which I get because I had become very stale. Creative-wise, I wasn’t doing much, which is, okay, I get it. I get it. Things change. That’s how my career has always been,” Raj Dhesi fka Jinder Mahal revealed.

WWE fumbled the bag with Jinder Mahal as he was built like a main eventer under the Vince McMahon era. He is a former WWE Champion who defeated Randy Orton to win the title at Backlash. He was the 50th WWE Champion and the first-ever champion of Indian descent. But under the Triple H regime, he never found a main-event spot and was eventually let go from the company. Dhesi now features in the independent circuit like the GCW, AAA, and more. He is a superstar already and also is one-half of the current AAA World Tag Team alongside AEW's Satnam Singh in his first reign.
