While the "coming soon" and "coming to Raw" vignettes for Veer Mahaan having become somewhat of a running joke amongst wrestling fans, it appears WWE is actually in on the joke.

Via Fightful Select, WWE is said to be self-aware of how comedic these repetitive vignettes have become, with Veer's impending Raw re-arrival teased with every passing week.

Surprisingly - or maybe not? - WWE had no significant plans for Mahaan when these vignettes first started airing back in October. All that is known is that Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut saw more upside in Veer than his former partners Shanky and Saurav Gurjar, with Veer and Gurjar initially teaming together in NXT.

Having been aligned with Shanky and Jinder Mahal on Raw, Veer was separated from the pair during this year's WWE Draft. There, Shanky and Mahal were switched to SmackDown, whilst Mahaan remained on Raw. Since then, each week has seen seen the same Veer vignettes air on WWE's Monday night flagship.

Despite having not appeared on Raw, Mahaan has been quietly competing on WWE Main Event in recent weeks, picking up singles victories over Jaxson Ryker, John Morrison, Cedric Alexander, and T-BAR.
