But he hasn’t started yet. There are several different ways to debut a wrestler and some of them are as old as time. One of the easiest ways in the modern era is to run a series of vignettes on television saying that a wrestler will be there soon. It builds up anticipation for the fans and then they know what they are seeing. But what if you advertise one thing and then present another?
Back in November 2021, vignettes began airing on Monday Night Raw announcing that Veer Mahaan was coming to the show soon. This would be a return for Mahaan, as he had been an associate of Jinder Mahal before leaving television. Mahaan has yet to appear, though he has been advertised to appear on the April 4 Monday Night Raw. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Mahaan will undergo some sort of a change to his original character. There is no word on what kind of changes will be made.
Opinion: I’m getting Brodus Clay vibes here, as his return was hyped up for months before he returned as the Funkasaurus. I don’t know if Mahaan will be the second living breathing Funkasaurus in captivity, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see him be some kind of a joke after so many months of vignettes. Hopefully it winds up working, but you never can tell what WWE is going to do these days.
What do you expect from Mahaan? What do you want him to do? Let us know in the comments below.
