WWE Rumor Roundup: Former champion released, major push for returning superstar, Lesnar's return match, Nakamura's current status (20th May 2021)

#4 Big push planned for former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal

Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal finally returned to Monday Night RAW last week. The Maharaja made quick work of Jeff Hardy and showed his dominance. It has been reported by WrestlingNews.co that Mahal is in for a big push and will likely be feuding with former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre throughout the summer months.

"We're told that Mahal is slated to get a big push, and the idea is to build him up for his eventual feud with Drew McIntyre in the summer months."

Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre are real-life friends and were former stablemates as part of 3MB as well. Mahal returned last week accompanied by two giants - Shanky and Veer.

Drew McIntyre lost his second opportunity at Bobby Lashley's WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash and will be looking for new opponents to feud with. And there is no better feud for McIntyre right now than having one with Mahal.
