Last year, when former WWE Champion Raj Dhesi [f.k.a Jinder Mahal] was still with the company, he had been granted a World Title match against Seth Rollins. About the same time, the Internet Wrestling Community was poking fun at AEW President Tony Khan for granting Hook a World Title match against the AEW World Champion at that time, Samoa Joe. Seeing that the Modern Maharaja did not receive any criticism from the IWC, Tony Khan took it upon himself to take shots at Dhesi via X.

A moral victory for USA is one win more than their World Title challenger Jinder Mahal has in the past 364 days… because it's been literally a full year since he won a match. You really put AEW in our place getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on your tv show. Do it more often — Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) January 9, 2024
Recently, Raj Dhesi was interviewed by TMZ Sports’ Inside The Ring. During the interview, Dhesi shared his honest thoughts on the tweets from Tony Khan. He shared that those tweets only created more buzz for his title match against the Visionary. “No, no, it was good…it was good for me, it was good for WWE. It was good for my title match with Seth, and it was good for AEW, and good for Hook’s match with Samoa Joe. He was getting a title shot against Samoa Joe. It just created more buzz.” [H/T WrestlingNews.co] Raj Dhesi on whether he would join Tony Khan and AEW During the same interview, the Modern Day Maharaja mentioned that he would sign with AEW if the storyline and the business all make sense. “I would have to see if the business makes sense. What’s the storyline? Is there a plan for me, or am I just coming to do nothing? I’m past that point in my life, past that point in my career. Whatever I do, I want to do something next level… I don’t want to just coast anymore.” Dhesi also appreciated AEW and stated that he keeps track of everything that happens in the world of professional wrestling. “The style has definitely changed there. So, you know, it trickles down to the independents… I watched a little bit. I do a good job of keeping track of what’s going on in wrestling. Do I sit and watch the entire show? No, but I kind of see through social media what’s going on,” Raj Dhesi said. [H/T WrestlingNews.co] The former WWE Champion also mentioned that if he does work with AEW, he would like to wrestle stars like Swerve Strickland and MJF.
