Jinder Mahal (Raj Dhesi) Says It Is An Issue That WWE Only Has One South Asian Talent Signed Given Population
On April 19, Sanga was among a handful of talent released by WWE. The company also released his partners Veer and Jinder Mahal (Raj Dhesi).
Sanga was outspoken regarding WWE saying they needed viewership in India, but would not take Indian talent.
Dhesi has now weighed in following a discussion about WWE’s utilization of Black talent and talent not appearing on Premium Live Events.

There is only one South Asian currently in WWE (@SunnyDhinsa). With over 2 Billion population, 1/4 people in the world are South Asian. Not a single talent in NXT/Performance Center. This is an issue.

We need recruitment and then the opportunity… and let us be ourselves, not what creative thinks we should act/dress/look like.

Recruit them from other sports, like the majority of trainees in the PC.
