Randy Orton is among the few stars that have stayed with WWE the longest. Without a doubt, we can say that the WWE legend is loyal to the leading wrestling promotion. Orton’s loyalty to his workplace even shines through the posts that he likes online. Recently, the wrestler engaged in a tweet that mocked Tony Khan.

Recently, Tony Khan caught himself entangled in a web of online drama. It all started when he called out WWE for giving Jinder Mahal the ‘limelight’ all of a sudden in 2024. When a wrestling podcaster mocked Khan for his rant, Orton was among the people who liked the tweet.

Randy Orton supports trolling Tony Khan

As we all know, WWE is trying to set up Jinder Mahal for another title run in a long time against reigning World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. However, considering the past win-loss record of Mahal inside the promotion, Khan believes it is not ‘good’ booking and ranted about the same online.

After the consequent two tweets that the CEO of AEW made about Jinder Mahal, he was the second most trending topic on Twitter in the United States. So, SentiZap, a wrestling podcaster, took some time from his schedule to mock Tony Khan’s ability to get bothered by a rival promotion.

This was a clear shot at how people believe Khan to be incapable of good booking, yet he accidentally popularized a WWE star who was on the sidelines for a long time. Among various wrestling enthusiasts, Randy Orton also ended up liking this post.

But despite this entertaining online feud, if you are someone who is still wondering why WWE is pushing Jinder Mahal again, we may have some bits of information to help you.

Why is WWE pushing Jinder Mahal in 2024?

The Stamford-based company has tried to push the Indian heel on numerous occasions. In fact, “The Modern Day Maharaja” even received a decent WWE Championship run. However, it had been a long time since he even won a match. So, letting him challenge the reigning WHC was absurd for some fans. Although WWE didn’t officially reveal the reasons, there are a few hints at why they may be doing this.

Firstly, his segment with “The Rock” blew up like nobody expected. Secondly, Triple H had always liked the Indian-based wrestler’s work ethic. And lastly, they may be trying to get more Indian audiences on board by watching WWE. You can also learn about all three of these potential reasons in complete detail, but for now, all we know is that Mahal is getting a big push from WWE, as well as from the competing promotion’s CEO.
