Backstage News on Jinder Mahal’s WWE Push Coinciding with Impact Wrestling Tapings in India, What Impact Officials Were Told

By Nick Paglino

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Impact Wrestling’s partner in India, Sony Six, might believe that Jinder Mahal’s WWE push lining up with Impact taping TV in India is not merely a coincidence.

The Observer is reporting Impact Wrestling officials were told directly from Sony Six that the belief is Jinder Mahal’s recent push and WWE Title win is directly related to Impact’s TV tapings this week in Mumbai.

As an example, the report used WWE’s UK timing and strategy changing significantly when, in a market previously dominated by WWE, another company was coming in with strong television backing. In that case, it was ITV coming in to back its “World of Sport” TV tapings. WWE had plans to run weekly TV tapings in The UK for a WWE Network show, however those plans were scrapped once the ITV project imploded and seemingly went nowhere.

As of this writing, WWE has nothing planned in India for the rest of the year.
