#2. Jinder Mahal to get a big push

Jinder Mahal recently made his long-awaited return from injury on RAW and he looks set to be pushed hard going forward.

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue told host Korey Gunz on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that WWE needs a Superstar who can appeal to the Indian market - where they recently signed a big-money deal - and Mahal is the ideal man to push at this point.

The Modern Day Maharaja could also get a world title shot if the WWE sees fit and it's interesting to note that even Drew McIntyre wants to work with his former 3MB stablemate.

Tom revealed:

It won't be easy for Jinder Mahal to get back to the level he was previous. Really, there are ways to do it. He gets such tremendous heat just by being pushed that all they need to do is push him and people will push him as a heel anyway.

But without a crowd booing him it might be quite difficult because people may look at him slightly differently. That said, there is a huge new TV deal that WWE have going on in India and they want to push someone who appeals to that market. So Jinder Mahal, whether he is getting championship opportunities or not, he is definitely going to be pushed hard.
