We all remember Jinder Mahal’s WWE title win and naturally it would be quite the comedown for Mahal. A career mid-carder before elevated randomly into the main event, Mahal fell off a cliff, seeing a steep career downturn as the once WWE champion prior to an injury. 

Shelved for a while, there was hype for his lockdown era return, especially with the prospect of a feud with WWE champion Drew McIntyre.  

Mahal returned on the April 27th edition of Raw, sporting a new shaved head look. “The Modern Day Maharaja” disposed of Akira Tozawa in a dominant display. His return was seen by many as a prelude to a placement into the Money In The Bank match however that never surfaced. 

Less than a month after his return, Jinder posted a picture captioned: “Unfortunately I had to go under the knife again to fix some knee issues. The journey has hit a speed bump, but I will be back stronger than ever.” 

Mahal would not wrestle again until the next year.
