Jinder Mahal made his return to WWE Raw on this past Monday's episode of the show, accompanying Indus Sher (Veer & Sanga) as they won a quick squash match. It was Indus Sher's in-ring Raw debut.
The Modern-Day Maharaja cut a quick promo after the team's victory and was referred to as the 'mastermind behind the mayhem' by Corey Graves, suggesting that he may just be a manager going forward.
According to Fightful Select, the main creative plans call for Indus Sher as a team with the former WWE Champion as their mouthpiece. However, Jinder will also still wrestle.
Mahal last wrestled on the NXT brand earlier this year, including a loss in an NXT Title match to then-champion Bron Breakker. His most recent main roster outings were a string of losses to Bray Wyatt on non-televised live events towards the end of 2022.
Jinder's position within WWE has fluctuated over the past several years, with injuries and frequent brand switches playing a part.
Last year, Hulk Hogan endorsed Mahal and said that believes he has the tools to be the modern-day Hulkster.
