Who is Veer Mahaan? 33-year-old Indian wrestler taking WWE by storm, tormenting Mysterios

Indian wrestler Veer Mahaan, 33, has become one of the most talked-about WWE superstars in the pro-wrestling universe following his main roster singles debut at Monday Night Raw in April. WWE hyped his Raw debut for several months by saying, ‘Veer Mahaan is coming to Raw’, before the 33-year-old finally made his TV debut, a day after the WWE WrestleMania 38 PPV on April 4. He put all speculation to rest by unleashing wrath on the father-son duo of Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio.    

Jr. Mysterio was caught in a lock by Veer and opted to give up by tapping out. However, the clash was not an official match and Dominik had no one to his rescue before Veer decided to stop himself. However, in his first official match in WWE Raw, Mahaan demolished Dominik yet again, as the latter had to be carried out of the arena on a stretcher. Mahaan announced his arrival in a fantastic style and looks promising to be fighting for major titles soon.
