Veer Mahaan reacts to RAW debut date confirmation

Veer Mahaan's impending arrival on WWE RAW has been teased for months now. The company finally confirmed a date for his debut, and the Indian-born wrestler has some thoughts on this update.

Since November 2021, teasers showing glimpses of the former Veer have been airing on the red brand with the caption "coming soon to RAW". WWE has finally confirmed the date of his re-debut to be April 4, the RAW after WrestleMania 38.

It's become something of a joke on social media that Mahaan has been taking so long to get to WWE television. With the date finally set, Mahaan himself took to Twitter to thank fans for being patient and issued a warning to any peers that might stand in his way:

Dedicated to the optimistic and positive of my fans that kept their fists raised high in support.

I heard you.

Yeah, the man is coming. He always was.

I'm clearing that path ahead. Don't stand in the way.

Better yet....please try!

Rinku won a competition for the the movie's namesake in 2008. The contest was conducted in India to find the fastest and most accurate pitcher in the country. He alone emerged victorious out of 37,000 participants.

In 2009, he was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates and became the first Indian to play in a professional baseball game in the US. Veer played his last game in 2016. In January 2018, he signed a deal with WWE.
