Jinder Mahal Wants to Break CM Punk’s Championship Record

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal was recently interviewed by Sportskeeda, and discussed a number of topics. Among them were a dream opponent for WrestleMania, breaking CM Punk’s 434-day championship reign, reuniting 3MB and more.

Below are some questions, along with the “modern day Maharaja’s” answers:

Who’s your dream opponent for WrestleMania 34?

Jinder Mahal: Brock Lesnar — that would be amazing. Or someone like John Cena. Even John Cena’s such a big, big star here in India it would be a blockbuster match. Especially if I beat someone like John Cena, I would really establish my own legacy, which is my number 1 goal.

You’ve surpassed many greats during your WWE Championship reign. Do you think you can beat CM Punk’s 434-day record?

Jinder Mahal: Absolutely think I can. Why not? I believe I haven’t even entered my prime yet. So, I’m 31 years old, I’m already WWE Champion for 140 something days at the moment. I’ve a lengthy title run ahead of me and many more title runs yet to come.

I know there are many other WWE Champions coming from India. You know we have so much talent, so much potential and there’s never been a better time. WWE is so global right now, we’re representing 180 countries. We have the Performance Center. World class facility with NXT.

The Shield has reunited. Do you want 3MB to reunite and face them?

Jinder Mahal (laughs loudly): You know what? Someday, definitely. Not right now. I’m doing my own thing; Drew’s doing his own thing, as the NXT Champion, and I’m waiting for Heath Slater to beat Brock Lesnar and become the Universal Champion.

But he’s great. He won the Tag Team Championship along with Rhyno. He’s got kids.(laughter). Who would have thought? 3MB was very underrated. But we dedicated ourselves, we reinvented ourselves, we motivated ourselves. You might see The Shield vs. 3 MB someday.

They also talk about his training regiment, Starrcade and more.
