• Jinder Mahal took to X to announce that he has quit WWE. Here’s what he tweeted:
“I Quit. Maharaja Out.”
He wrote the following in his X bio:
“Free Agent – 90 Days.”
While Mahal announced that he quit WWE, Jinder was actually released and has a 90-day non-compete clause.
According to PWInsider, the running joke among WWE talent backstage is that Jinder will feud with Tony Khan this summer on AEW Dynamite.
For those who don’t remember, Tony criticized WWE for booking Jinder in a World Title match on RAW in January, despite Jinder being on a losing streak for a year. Jinder then took a shot at Hook.
