Jinder Mahal Will Reportedly Wrestle In WWE Despite Serving As Manager For Indus Sher

After being drafted to the red brand as a part of the supplemental WWE Draft last month, Jinder Mahal made his return to "WWE Raw" last night, acting as a mouthpiece for the tag team Indus Sher. According to a new report from Fightful Select, in addition to serving as the duo's mouthpiece, Mahal will wrestle as well. However, the main creative plan for the group revolves around the tag team.

Indus Sher consists of Veer and Sanga, and last night the duo secured their first main roster victory against an enhancement tag team. Prior to being called up in the draft, the two competed together on the NXT brand, with Veer also making appearances on the main roster as a singles competitor. Mahal, on the other hand, had been largely absent from WWE programming through the second half of 2022 before reappearing on "WWE NXT" earlier this year and joining up with Veer and Sanga.

Veer, real name Rinku Singh, is a former minor league baseball pitcher, and is the subject of the film "Million Dollar Arm." Sanga, real name Saurav Gurjar, previously performed in TNA as Deadly Danda, and is

a former national kickboxing champion

. The two have been teaming together off and on since 2018, and will now seemingly appear as a serious threat to the existing tag team division on "Raw." Indus Sher will have the benefit of Mahal, a wrestler with nearly 20 years of industry experience, guiding them on the main roster, which should help the two performers acclimate to their new position in the company.
