Where next with Jinder Mahal and Great Khali?

[Troy]

Jinder Mahal debuted as a heel who was disgusted at the way Khali had been acting on television in recent months. He wanted him to be taken seriously and he wanted Khali to become a threat again. Jinder Mahal has wrestled singles matches since then and managed to turn Khali heel again.

What comes next? Would you book Jinder Mahal as a singles wrestler with Khali being his bodyguard/occasional wrestler? Would you book them purely as a tag team? Would you have them break apart and go their seperate ways?

How would you continue the Jinder Mahal storyline?

With Khali nursing an injury, I'd keep Jinder going strong, maybe a bit of a push towards the IC.

Zeke vs Jinder wouldn't be too bad.

I think Jinder Mahal needs to face tougher competition before we can really take him seriously. After all, he has only faced jobbers and Yoshi Tatsu, smashing all of them with the WWE's intent to make us think he's very good, and a lot of people have clearly been sucked into it.

I think it was a great addition to the storyline between Mahal/Khali/Singh on Smackdown when Singh brought up the history between the Mahal/Khali families. For those who don't know, basically the way Mahal controls Khali is because Mahal's family is rich, Khali's was poor, so Mahal married Khali's sister. Not to help the family but to pretty much "gain control of them". Now what Mahal has been saying is that if Khali basically doesn't do what he says and stop embarrassing their family, Mahal will divorce and ridicule Khali's sister, thus disgracing the Khali family. To me, that's just a fucking fantastic addition, making so much sense and adding a real personal element into it all. That's how feuds and storylines should be.

I'd like to see Mahal eventually challenge Ezekiel Jackson for the IC title like Andrew said, but not until Mahal has proven himself against better WWE superstars. Zeke would be put over as a face further due to Mahal having Khali dominate him or something, then Jackson's will "overcome the odds" blah blah blah.

I like that they came up with a storyline for it and I think Jinder could be a decent singles guy. I agree with most they need to start giving him matches that people care about not just squashes to continue building it up.

The background information was good to add some depth to the storyline and make it more than let's put the guys with Indian backgrounds together.

Mahal does need to progress into matches against better competition rather than the usual beatdowns against jobbers. I have been impressed with him so far and in time a feud against Zeke would be a good pairing. With Khali's knee issues working as a bodyguard for Mahal would be best and then eventually I wouldn't mind seeing them as a tag team with Khali doing minimal work.
