WWE 2K17: 10 Superstars Who Could Return To The Franchise
9. Jinder Mahal
No longer hindered, Jinder will be a RAW Superstar in the coming weeks after putting pen to paper on a new deal following two years away from the company. He showed his face on the flagship last night, defeating Heath Slater in a match/angle.
Mahal, of course, was a valued member of cult faction 3MB before he and partner Drew McIntyre were released. Before that, he had a decent run as a singles star on WWE's main roster as well as NXT as your typical pompous foreigner who had to assert his superiority over wrestlers whom he deemed as beneath him or embarrassing. This led to OK (ish) feuds with the likes of The Great Khali and Ted DiBiase.
As with Hawkins, whether or not he finds himself in the game is just down to a matter of time and whether 2K's developers have enough of it to include him in the company's marquee video game for the first time since he made the cut on the basic roster of WWE 2K14.
