The world has been upside down for The Modern-Day Maharaja Jinder Mahal. Ever since AEW President Tony Khan mentioned him in his post on X, Mahal has become the talk of the town as he is getting abundant support from the WWE Universe. On his appearance on WWE’s The Bump show, the former WWE Champion boasted about dominating headlines all day yesterday.

Jinder Mahal stated that it has been a long time since he has been overlooked in WWE. He added that he sees stars like CM Punk and Seth Rollins as the highlights of Raw, which led to him reestablishing himself on the roster. The 37-year-old Superstar gloated while mentioning getting exceptional attention on social media.

More or less I’ve been overlooked. I feel overlooked. I’m really frustrated at the fact, I was doing my part in helping the next generation focusing on Indus Sher, but then I see Superstars like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes really be the highlight of RAW and seems to me that the people forgot about the Modern Day Maharaja, the former WWE Champion.

Moreover, Mahal stated that he was trying to push the young talent of Indus Sher last year. However, his being overlooked on the roster has certainly offended him. Besides, the Modern Day Maharaja expressed himself as kicking off the new year nicely before getting interrupted by The Rock.

Only time will tell if Mahal is able to pull off the next impossible task of taking away the World Title from Rollins on the upcoming edition of Raw.
