“Underrated” Jinder Mahal once destroyed The Rock on the mic and buried Tony Khan for questioning Triple H’s decisions.

WrestleMania 40 has become a major milestone in the history of WWE, as it is considered as the best edition of Show of Shows ever. With this, the company officially entered a new era, but the transition didn’t cause any setbacks for Jinder Mahal, as The Modern Day Maharaja was released from the Stamford-based promotion.

Not only Mahal, but other in-ring stars have been removed from pro wrestling organizations, but no other release shocked fans more than Jinder’s departure. A big reason behind this is that Praveen has enjoyed stardom in his recent run with the company, as he has been involved in parts with top stars from the promotion.

In fact, the former WWE Champion was even a part of a major promotional battle with The Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson, not too long ago, where he absolutely destroyed him. His conversation with The Rock took place on the Day 1 episode of Monday Night RAW, as The People’s Champion interrupted him during the special show.

After this, Mahal could not control his frustration and took several shots at Brahma Bull, after which he tried to bring down the Hollywood star. Although Jinder took a beating from Johnson, the way he cooked Dwayne and complimented him brilliantly earned him a lot of praise from the pro wrestling audience.

In fact, just one week after his brilliance on the mic, WWE rewarded him with a huge opportunity, as he got a title match with Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. This was something that no one in the community expected to happen, but AEW CEO Tony Khan seems to be a bit angry with Triple H’s booking decision.

Tony’s anger was so high that he tweeted about it through his official X handle and it started a fan war of sorts on the social media platform. But some time after Khan’s comments, there was a backlash against the Indian-origin star, and it was an absolutely epic response from him.

Jinder Mahal rocked the WWE Universe with his feud against Tony Khan

Although Mahal deleted his reaction after some time, possibly due to interference from the promotion, Jinder Mahal shocked the WWE Universe with his feud against Tony Khan. Fans appreciated the way Jinder came to deal with the comment and started supporting him on the matter.

In fact, after that, pro wrestling enthusiasts took matters into their own hands and started trolling Tony in heavy numbers for his double standards. Among the effects Jinder’s online beef with Tony has had on the community, it’s thrust Mahal into the limelight. The modern day Maharaja has become an internet sensation in no time.

In fact, this whole story also helped him get a lot of support from the wrestling audience, as people supported him ma*sively after Tony Khan’s controversial statement. Not only that, they pushed hard to see The Modern Day Maharaja win the world title once again, but it never materialized and Jinder was released a few months later.

Jinder Mahal’s career achievements and future plans

Jinder made his WWE debut in 2011, as he was involved in a storyline with Khali, after which they formed an alliance. But it didn’t take long for them to quarrel with each other. The following year, Mahal, Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater formed a new group, 3MB, and the three of them got a lot of TV time with this alliance, but after a few years with stable, Indian-born stars. is released

Following this departure, Jinder Mahal began competing on the independent circuit and made a sensational return to the Triple H-led promotion in August 2016. In April 2017, he won an opportunity to challenge for the WWE Championship and eventually won the title that year. Backlash defeated Randy Orton. It was a surprising move, but it became the biggest moment of Mahal’s career.

After a 170-day reign, The Modern Day Maharaja lost his title to AJ Styles on the November 7 episode of SmackDown. Following this loss, he won the US title at WrestleMania 34 and lost it to Jeff Hardy just 8 days into his title reign. He also once won the 24/7 Championship, but that reign only lasted a few hours. After that, the Indian-origin pro wrestler was a*sociated with various people but never reached the same level of popularity.

But that all changed in 2024, as Mahal got a chance to stay in the spotlight by participating in promo segments with Dwayne Johnson and Seth Rollins. Not only that, he also got a chance to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship, as he challenged The Visionary for the title in January 2024.

From recently challenging Rollins to being released from WWE in April, Mahal’s career has been a roller coaster ride in recent months. With the kind of performances he’s given in his recent appearances on television, many fans can’t really believe he’s no longer with the Triple H-led promotion, while others are curious about his future as a professional wrestler.

Many are wondering if Jinder is going to join All Elite Wrestling right now, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen due to their feud. If this is indeed the case between these two teams, the independent circuit could be the best platform for The Modern Day Maharaja to prove himself. But he won’t be able to do that, at least for the next few months, as he’s currently under a 90-day non-competition clause following his WWE exit.

According to this condition, the wrestler cannot compete inside the ring anywhere in the world for the next three months. But he can apparently return to the ring after the streak is complete. Amidst all this uncertainty about Jinder’s future, it remains to be seen what’s next for him as a wrestler. Moreover, it will be interesting to see if Jinder Mahal shares information about his future plans in the near future.
