Former WWE World Champion Jinder Mahal has taken a proactive step following his release from the company. Mahal, whose real name is Yuvraj Dhesi, has submitted trademark applications for his monikers “The Maharaja” and “Raj Dhesi.”

According to the official trademark filings, the categories intended to be covered by the trademarks include hats, shirts, socks, bandanas, sweatshirts, and hooded sweatshirts. This suggests that Mahal may be considering launching his own merchandise line or exploring other business opportunities outside of WWE.
“The Maharaja” was the character name that Mahal portrayed during his successful WWE championship reign in 2017. The character was known for its regal and dominant persona, representing Indian culture and heritage. Mahal’s portrayal of “The Maharaja” garnered attention and praise from fans worldwide.
By trademarking his monikers, Mahal aims to protect his brand identity and prevent others from using these names without his permission. This move demonstrates his commitment to building a personal brand and capitalizing on the recognition he gained during his time in WWE.

Fans and industry insiders will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on Mahal’s next moves. Whether he decides to continue wrestling or explore other avenues within the entertainment industry, it is evident that he is determined to make a mark and capitalize on the success he achieved during his tenure in WWE.
As the wrestling world continues to evolve, it is not uncommon for released talents to explore new opportunities and reinvent themselves outside of the WWE umbrella. Mahal’s trademark filings indicate that he is ready to embark on a new chapter and make his presence felt in the industry once again.
Only time will tell what lies ahead for Jinder Mahal, but one thing is for sure – he is determined to leave a lasting legacy and establish himself as a force to be reckoned with, both inside and outside the squared circle.
