New Details On Jinder Mahal's Return - Why WWE Split Indus Sher Up

Jinder Mahal is currently working with only one half of Indus Sher on Raw as WWE believe that the absent man, Saurav, isn't ready for television.

This is according to Fightful Select. Mahal has aligned with Saurav's old Indus Sher partner, Rinku Singh (now Veer), on Monday nights, with the towering Shanky joining them to complete the trio.

Mahal, Veer, and Shanky arrived on Raw last week, following on from their debut on the previous week's episode of Main Event. It was a successful first night back on mainstream WWE television for Jinder, who bested Jeff Hardy in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, there was no sign of him and his team on last night's show.

Indus Sher had a short NXT run in Spring 2020, when they were introduced as Malcolm Bivens' managerial clients. Saurav was unfortunately responsible for leaking an image of Keith Lee's pretaped NXT Title win in July, spoiling the result of Keith's Great American Bash win over Adam Cole, though Indus Sher had already been removed from TV by that point.

Fightful Select also note that Mahal had been ready to return for months prior to showing up on Main Event and Raw. The former WWE Champion teamed with the Bollywood Boyz to face Indus Sher and Drew McIntyre at Superstar Spectacle in January.
