After weeks of not being on Raw, Brodus Clay made his return. Reports were that Vince McMahon was not happy with his work in the ring. If that is the case, not too much really changed last night. Brodus Clay squashed Jinder Mahal. It could just be the obvious. The guy was not a priority during the weeks needed to build Wrestlemania feuds. They did not have a plan for him and were running low on jobbers. Keep in mind, if the WWE had devoted legitimate time to Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes on Raw in some fashion, you probably wouldn't have had Brodus Clay squashing Jinder at all.Finally! A chance to talk about Jinder Mahal! Well, his pre-match ritual was more interesting than anything he did during the match. And with that, I've run out of things to say about Jinder Mahal.
Back to Brodus. Last time I remember talking about the guy, I was saying that the WWE needed to develop him or he will run stale or get lost in the shuffle. He definitely was lost for a while. And he hasn't really developed anything new or fresh this time. I think his dancers came out with new outfits, but does that count? He won with a splash, instead of the crossbody. But as far as the gimmick and developing him goes, he didn't get that this week. He might be a part of the tag match between Team Long and Team Laurinaitis, but there was definitely better potential than that in the weeks they wasted him. Oh well, settle for what you get. I wonder if he can make it jiggle to "Mr. Saxobeat."
