10 WWE Wrestlers DOOMED Without Vince McMahon

9. Veer Mahaan

The former Indus Sher man was likely screwed before Vince McMahon's departure, having faded from prominence following his Raw squashing spree earlier this year. That his endless pre-debut vignettes started airing without a clear plan for Mahaan's push rang alarm bells in 2021. Now, over a month has passed since Veer last wrestled on Raw, suggesting the company has lost interest.

Rey and Dominik Mysterio have moved on from the big man despite receiving multiple one-sided shellackings from him. It can be inferred, from his lack of direction, that McMahon had no plans for Veer beyond getting another large, burly bruiser on television. Now, his best bet may be a return to NXT, where former partner Sanga still lurks.

Though relatively convincing in his squashes, Mahaan has not yet demonstrated that he has what it takes to prosper on a Triple H-penned show. That Indus Sher was binned so soon after debuting on Hunter's black and gold brand adds further fuel. Unless the 33-year-old boasts a skillset not yet explored on television, he may be due a rethink - and a repackaging.
