Former WWE wrestler Jinder Mahal undergoes surgery
Posted: Oct 31st 2025 By: Joseph Currier
Raj Dhesi — best known for his time in WWE as Jinder Mahal — is recovering from surgery.
The former WWE Champion revealed on Instagram that he underwent a knee scope to remove two loose bodies and trim his meniscus. A scope is less invasive than traditional surgery — and Dhesi has already started the rehab process.
“2 loose bodies removed + meniscus trimmed,” he wrote. “Surgery went well, now comes the recovery.”
Dhesi was released from his WWE contract in April 2024, ending his second stint with the company. The 39 year old competes on the indies globally as a free agent. He was active as recently as October 17, when he faced Matt Riddle at a show for Dungeon Wrestling in Canada. Dhesi retained the promotion’s Stu Hart Heritage Championship in that match.
After being released by WWE for the second time, Dhesi said he still has many goals he wanted to accomplish in wrestling and places he wanted to visit. His WWE runs took place from 2010-2014 and 2016-2024, with the latter including one reign as WWE Champion.
