WWE's India viewership sees a huge uptick after Veer Mahaan's return to RAW
The Broadcast Audience Research Council of India (BARC) has data to suggest that Veer Mahaan is driving WWE's viewership upwards in India.
Following months of anticipation, Mahaan returned to RAW on April 4, the night after WrestleMania 38. He made an immediate impact by attacking Rey & Dominik Mysterio. This episode of RAW witnessed a 9% increase in viewership in India compared to the previous week's average due to the advertised return of the former baseball player.
Veer Mahaan was previously part of a three-man group with Jinder Mahal and Shanky on RAW, with their most notable storyline coming in the summer of 2021 against Drew McIntyre. He was separated from them via the WWE Draft as Mahal and Shanky moved to SmackDown.
The road ahead is clearing fast....
Still a lot of work left to be done. https://t.co/O2FVcbsXlJ
Veer Mahaan demolished Dominik Mysterio on RAW
This past week on RAW, Veer Mahaan was scheduled to take on Rey Mysterio. However, a flying change to the match card brought Dominik face-to-face with his tormentor. While the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion got in some offense, Mahaan dominated the match. He finally caught Dominik in a modified version of the camel clutch to pick up the win.
Unfortunately for @DomMysterio35, @VeerMahaan has arrived on #WWERaw. https://t.co/hScyALy4t9
It'll be interesting to see if Veer Mahaan can attract more Indian viewers to WWE RAW as he takes on the biggest names on the red brand.
