– Jinder Mahal is apparently getting back into ring shape after undergoing another knee surgery back in June. The RAW Superstar took to Instagram this afternoon and posted the following workout video. He paid tribute to Brodie Lee and wrote, “It’s Thursday. You know what that means… shoulder day.”
Mahal underwent knee surgery in June after just returning in April following almost one year on the shelf with another knee injury. Mahal noted in June that he had to go back under the knife to “fix some knee issues” and that he would be back stronger than ever. It was reported at the time that the most recent operation was scheduled to be a minor one, but the damage ended up being more significant than expected.
There’s no word on when Mahal will be back in action. He is rumored to be involved with the upcoming WWE India project.
