Indus Sher made their debut on the main roster last month after being drafted to Monday Night Raw in WWE Draft 2023. The duo of Veer Mahaan and Sanga wreaked havoc on the Red Brand when they dominated local talents in their first match. Two weeks later, they took on yet another duo of local talents and smashed them easily.

Considering their dominance over the weeks, WWE is set to push Indus Sher in the long run. The officials especially look at Veer Mahaan differently and are likely to groom him for the coming years. WWE believes that Indus Sher, managed by former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, will be a huge gain for them, captivating the Indian audience.

WWE is set to do a show in Hyderabad, India on September 9, 2023. And as far as the Indian fans are concerned, the event could drive a bigger profit for the Stamford-based company. With Indus Sher being their epicenter, the faction could have a huge match in the event. WWE has high hopes and will prepare the India duo for the bigger stages.

Indus Sher came up stronger this week when they attacked Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin before their match could even start. They brutally attacked Alexander, sending a dominant statement to the WWE Universe. The team of Sanga and Veer Mahaan has displayed their immense strength on the main roster ever since their debut.

Indus Sher is a dominant faction in WWE, currently signed under the Raw brand. The team comprising Veer Mahaan and Sanga is currently managed by Jinder Mahal. They made their debut in NXT alongside their then-manager, Malcolm Bivens, by attacking Matt Riddle on March 25, 2020. They completely dominated the Yellow Brand, destroying superstars on the roster.

Their debut on NXT sent a strong message to the superstars and the WWE Universe. They were determined to establish themselves as the dominant force in all of professional wrestling. Indus Sher continued to destroy other teams on NXT until they went on hiatus. The duo came back in January 2021 and teamed up with Drew McIntyre to take on Jinder Mahal and The Bollywood Boyz.

The match took place at the WWE Superstar Spectacle event. Besides, Veer Mahaan also debuted on Monday Night Raw as a singles superstar. But it remained short-lived. The duo then returned to NXT and became a regular part of the roster. They dominated on the Yellow Brand and hence got the main roster call-up during WWE Draft 2023.
