#4 Jinder Mahal joins The Hurt Business on WWE RAW

The Hurt Business is one of the most entertaining acts on WWE television. For the past few months, the faction has dominated WWE RAW. The Hurt Business has been featured on the red brand, and its members have been quite successful.

The Hurt Business has elevated Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP to new heights. The group even recruited Cedric Alexander, and he's becoming a breakout star.

Jinder Mahal would be a suitable addition to the group. Though it may seem like the group is perfect, it's always looking for recruits. From time to time, a spot in the stable might open up if the opportunity is right.

Mahal joining The Hurt Business could benefit both parties. He fits in perfectly with the style of the faction, and he can easily inflict pain on other WWE Superstars. Plus, The Hurt Business has collected several titles on WWE RAW. Mahal could help the group acquire even more gold.

If Mahal joins the Hurt Business upon his WWE return, he'd have a prominent spot on the red brand. He could even feud with Lashley for the WWE United States Championship at some point. That conflict could produce a match that many WWE fans would love to see.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
