Following his WWE release, Jinder Mahal took to social media to convey a succinct yet meaningful message to his former colleague Drew McIntyre. In response to McIntyre’s heartfelt outreach, Mahal simply posted, “Comeback Kingz 👑.” This exchange between the two former allies sparked speculation about Mahal’s future endeavors.
In recent weeks, Mahal, along with several others, parted ways with the Stamford-based promotion. Mahal’s departure came as he publicly declared his resignation, signaling a new chapter in his career.
Reflecting on their shared history, both Mahal and McIntyre were part of the notorious 3MB faction alongside Heath Slater from 2012 to 2014. Despite their humble beginnings as enhancement talent, both wrestlers embarked on remarkable journeys following their initial WWE exits.
Following his release in 2014, Mahal honed his skills in various promotions before making a triumphant return to WWE in 2016. His perseverance paid off when he captured the WWE Championship in 2017, cementing his status as a main event competitor.
Similarly, McIntyre’s path to success saw him rejoin WWE in 2017 after a brief hiatus. His meteoric rise culminated in a triumphant victory at WrestleMania 36, where he claimed the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar. McIntyre’s subsequent reign as a top star solidified his place in WWE history.

However, McIntyre’s recent misstep at WrestleMania XL, where he fell victim to Damian Priest’s Money in the Bank cash-in after mocking CM Punk, raised questions about his future trajectory.
As the wrestling world speculates on Mahal and McIntyre’s next moves, their enduring camaraderie and shared history serve as a testament to their resilience in the face of adversity. Whether they reunite in the ring or pursue individual paths, their legacies are sure to leave an indelible mark on WWE history.
