Jinder Mahal was released from his WWE contract in April 2024

Jinder Mahal (Raj Dhesi) is an Indian-Canadian Professional Wrestler, who represents Indian culture with his gimmick. Mahal has been in the pro-wrestling industry since 2004 and made his way into WWE in 2010. Maharaja have a long history with WWE since then and two different runs in the company.

Mahal is a four-time champion in WWE including his one-time WWE Championship and one-time United States Championship. The Modern Day Maharaja was released from WWE earlier this year and that shocked the pro-wrestling industry.

Mahal shared his release status and said that he would continue wrestling after his 90-day non-compete period. During his non-compete period, Mahal has built hype for his Independent Circuit return and filed trademarks for his gimmick and wrestling name. It was reported that he would wrestle under his real name Raj Dhesi in the Indies. After a long wait, Maharaja Jas made her debut in style and won gold in his debut match.
