When Did Jinder Mahal Find Out He Would Win the WWE Championship?

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal sat down with SportsKeeda following his victory over Randy Orton at “Backlash,” and discussed a number of topics.

Below are some questions, along with the champion’s answers:

Q: What was the backstage reaction to your title win? Did Mr.McMahon say anything to you after your title win?

The backstage reaction has been very good. Vince was very happy. He was really proud of me because Vince knows how much work I’ve put in. And, I told Vince, “Hey Vince, my goal is to come back every week and improve. Every time you see me perform I’m going to get better on the mic, going to get better in the ring and I’ll be in better shape every week.”

I think Vince really appreciates that and WWE is a place where they reward hard work and I’m an example of that.

Q: When did you find out that you’d be winning the title last night?

I found out the day of.

Q: We have one last question. As WWE Champion, what is your message to fans in India?

I want to say thank you to everybody for supporting me. Spread the word. Tell everybody, tell your friends, that the Maharaja is WWE Champion and to tune in to SmackDown Live to see him become one of the greatest champions of all time.

I also want to send a message to India’s youth. Anything is possible. Especially in Punjab, there’s a huge drug problem right now. Stay away from that, take care of your body and respect yourself. Play sports, do exercise, stay healthy, get a good education and better your life.  Anything is possible as long as you’re willing to put in the work.

They also discuss his preparation for matches, the Singh Brothers and more.
