WWE Planning to Push Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal is slated to be pushed as a ‘serviceable mid-card heel’ on SmackDown Live after being transferred to the blue brand in the Superstar Shake-up.

He had a prominent role on this week’s episode of Talking Smack that allowed him to re-introduce himself to the audience.

For those who are wondering if there is any backstage heat on Mahal for injuring Finn Balor on Monday’s episode of RAW, Dave Meltzer mentioned on Wrestling Observer Radio that he hasn’t heard anything of any sorts.
