Veer Mahaan re-debuts on WWE Raw

Veer Mahaan has finally arrived. 

After nearly six months of vignettes, Veer Mahaan re-debuted on the Raw after WrestleMania, attacking Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio after Dominik lost to The Miz in 31 seconds. 

Mahaan was aligned with Jinder Mahal and Shanky on the Raw brand in the summer of 2021, but was broken off from their act with the idea to push him as a singles competitor. He has been a regular on WWE Main Event since October 2021, winning 14 consecutive bouts on that show. 

Born in India, Mahaan, real name Rinku Singh, won a reality show contest in his native country designed to find “The Million Dollar Arm.” He traveled to the United States to continue baseball training with USC pitching coach Tom House. 

Mahaan became the first Indian-born player to sign a professional baseball contract in the United States, and was part of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, pitching for a variety of their minor league affiliates over parts of eight seasons. 

Mahaan’s baseball story was chronicled in the 2014 Disney film Million Dollar Arm.

Mahaan signed with WWE in January 2018 and made his debut on the NXT brand later that year. He was called up to the Raw brand in May 2021 where his alliance with Mahal and Shanky began.
