#6 Jinder Mahal is back...and he's ready for big things

The Modern Day Maharaja Jinder Mahal is back in action after nearly 11 months away. He last appeared on RAW in early June 2019 and was out having had surgery on his knee. Although he was reportedly cleared to return earlier this year, WWE felt that holding him off until post-WrestleMania was a better idea - and we agree.

He returned to RAW and squashed Akira Tozawa. With that, WWE essentially announced the return of Jinder Mahal as a serious competitor. It's been two years since the former WWE Champion was last pushed. He won the United States Championship at WrestleMania 34 but lost it over a week later to Jeff Hardy when he moved to RAW.

Either way, it's going to be exciting to see what WWE can do with Mahal. Hopefully, they go the correct route this time and build him up and give him some big wins before taking it to the next level. In the eyes of many, Mahal always had that potential, but sometimes, it takes longer than expected to fulfill it.
