Veer Mahaan has been coming to Raw for months – but now we know when he’ll finally arrive!
Veer Mahaan hasn’t been seen on WWE’s main programming since being drafted to Monday Night Raw back in October. Shortly after the WWE Draft took place, a series of vignettes began to air, declaring that “Veer is coming.” On the November 1st episode of Raw, he was called Veer Mahaan, indicating that the Superstar had undergone a name change and gained a surname during his journey.
However, after waiting for months for the Indian behemoth to appear, the vignettes have become somewhat of a joke in the WWE Universe, with many fans wondering if Veer will indeed ever arrive on the red brand. Lance Storm jokingly took to Twitter to wonder if the star was walking all the way from India because it was taking so long for him to arrive.

Back in December, it was reported that the company had no plans for Veer Mahaan to actually debut, and that the company was aware of the comedic nature of stretching out the time until he appeared.
However, a new vignette on the March 21st revealed that there are now plans for the star to finally come on the April 4th episode of Monday Night Raw. This will be the first episode of Raw following WrestleMania 38 and will take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.

While Veer Mahan has been missing from Monday Night Raw, he has been quietly raking up the wins on Main Event. In recent weeks, Mahaan has seen off Cedric Alexander and T-Bar, while he dispatched Shelton Benjamin on the most recent episode.
In typically outlandish fashion, the Indian Superstar was heralded as the “next Brock Lesnar” by Virgil.
