Yuvraj Singh Dhesi (born July 19, 1986) is a Canadian professional wrestler. He is performing on the independent circuit under his real name, stylized as Raj Dhesi. He works for various promotions such as Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), where he is one-half of the current AAA World Tag Team Champions (with Satnam Singh) in his first reign, and International Wrestling Association (Puerto Rico) (IWA Puerto Rico). He is best known for his tenure in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Jinder Mahal and is a former 1-time WWE Champion, WWE United States Champion, and 2-time WWE 24/7 Champion.
Having started his career on the independent circuit, Dhesi joined WWE in 2010 and made his debut as Jinder Mahal on the company's main roster the following year. After a short-lived alliance with his kayfabe brother-in-law The Great Khali, he formed the stable 3MB with fellow wrestlers Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre, before he and McIntyre were released from the company in 2014. He returned to WWE in 2016 with a drastically improved physique and received a push in 2017, culminating in him becoming the 50th WWE Champion and the first of Indian descent.
