Mahal came back to WWE in 2016 with a new look. WWE decided to give him a mega push immediately after WrestleMania 33 in 2017. He challenged Randy Orton for his WWE Championship at Backlash 2017 and defeated him to become the 50th-ever champion.

Later in the year, he lost the coveted belt to AJ Styles. Afterward, Mahal was primarily used in upper and mid-card feuds. His second-biggest WWE moment came at WrestleMania 34 in 2018. He won a Fatal Four-Way match for the United States Championship at the mega event.

Mahal had amassed a large fan following during his WWE run, especially in the Indian subcontinent. His fans would love to see him show off his skills in another promotion outside the WWE umbrella.

Is Mahal's release a mistake?

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
