Fast forward to 2017, and Jinder Mahal returned to the WWE and soon beat Randy Orton to win his first WWE Championship. The Maharaja held on to the Title for 170 days before dropping it to AJ Styles. As for Drew McIntyre, he very recently realised his dream of becoming WWE Champion when he beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania in April.
Since winning the WWE Championship, Drew McIntyre has defended the Title against many formidable opponents such as The Big Show, Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley. The Scottish Psychopath is on a collision course with Dolph Ziggler with the two set to square off at WWE Extreme Rules in a match of The Showoff’s choice.
Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal’s reported feud
In April, after Drew McIntyre won the WWE Championship, Jinder Mahal made his return to WWE RAW defeating Akira Tozawa. The Maharaja looked to be in the best shape of his life, but a month later, he had to undergo surgery on his knee and has been out of action since. On the day of Jinder Mahal’s return, the WWE RAW announce team kept reiterating the fact that Mahal was a WWE Champion.
When WWE fans saw The Maharaja return, they instantly speculated that he would face Drew McIntyre in a match for the WWE Championship. It was later reported that WWE had planned a match between the two, but Jinder Mahal’s injury had derailed those plans.
In an interview with talkSPORT, Drew McIntyre shared how he saw the feud play out.
