Raj Dhesi (formerly Jinder Mahal in WWE) is set to make his in-ring debut for GCW next month. On Sunday, GCW announced that Dhesi will face Effy in a singles match on August 2 at the promotion’s Now and Forever event in Cleveland, Ohio.
Mahal was let go from WWE back in April and he spoke about his release in detail. Following his release, several promotions were reportedly eager to work with him and the list included GCW.
The former WWE Champion was one of seven ex-Superstars who entered free agency recently. Taking to social media, he revealed that he can work and sign anywhere he chooses to. ‘The Modern Day Maharaja’ wasted little time after his non-compete clause expired and made an unannounced appearance in Game Change Wrestling.
Dhesi entered the ring wearing a mask and attacked Effy. He performed his finisher Khallas before unmasking himself.
Dhesi recently said that he would raise GCW to his standards and become their champion. He also bashed GCW General Manager Matt Cardona for doing a terrible job in his role.
What’s Next for The Maharaja?
“The Maharaja” Raj Dhesi has revealed the tour dates for his ‘Unhindered Tour.’ The former World Champion will be making appearances in various locations across North America.
