• In response to his exit from WWE, Jinder Mahal, also known as Yuvraj Singh Dhesi, has taken proactive steps to safeguard his branding and intellectual property.
He has filed trademark applications for the terms “The Maharaja” and “Raj Dhesi”, signaling his intent to maintain control over these names beyond his tenure with WWE.
The trademark applications cover a range of clothing items, including hats, shirts, socks, bandanas, sweatshirts, and hooded sweatshirts. This strategic move suggests that Mahal is looking to establish a personal brand and explore potential business ventures outside of WWE, leveraging his recognizable persona and identity in the wrestling industry and beyond.
