Triple H’s Vision for Indus Sher Failed Due to Limited Opportunities, Says Former WWE Star Jinder Mahal

One Big Thing

Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal reveals why the Indus Sher faction, created by Triple H, struggled to connect with audiences before their eventual release.

Key Details

• Triple H personally selected Mahal to manage Indus Sher (Sanga and Veer) after taking over creative
• The group spent 6 months developing in NXT before moving to Raw
• WWE transitioned Mahal from wrestler to manager without warning
• All three members were released from WWE in 2024

Direct Quote

“We went to Raw and in a way I was told that you’re no longer going to wrestle, you’re just going to be a manager, which was kind of like a kick in the gut,” Mahal told Monopoly Events.

Why It Matters

The failure of Indus Sher highlights ongoing challenges WWE faces in developing new talent and representing South Asian wrestlers effectively on its main roster.

By the Numbers

• 6 months: Time spent developing in NXT
• 3 members released in total
• 0 championship wins as a faction

The Bottom Line

Mahal points to lack of live event exposure as a key factor in the group’s struggles, suggesting WWE’s development strategy for new talent needs improvement.
