Jinder Mahal announced for first post-WWE appearances
Jinder Mahal is scheduled to return to the ring next month.
The former WWE champion will wrestle at BLP Old Habits Die Screaming on July 26 in Chicago, as reported by Fightful on Wednesday. Mahal will be wrestling under the name “The Maharaja” Raj Dhesi. His opponent has yet to be announced.
Mahal will also be appearing live at WrestleCade in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on November 29 to December 1.
Mahal was released from WWE along with Veer, Sanga, Xia Li, and Xyon Quinn in April. A week after his release, Mahal posted a video to social media saying he still has “many goals” left to accomplish in wrestling.
What’s next for The Maharaja? I’ve been here before. That time I was a kid, but now I’m a man. I will only present myself in a way that I want to. I will only do things that I want to. I will only go places that I want to. I still have many goals, many dream matches, many places I want to go.
Where do I make an impact? India, Europe, Japan, Canada, Red Hook section of Brooklyn? Stay tuned. You got about 11 more weeks. Maharaja out.
