New WWE Champion Jinder Mahal spoke with Josh Barnett for USA Today’s “For The Win” section this week to talk about his career. Here are the highlights.
On how he can get fans to see him as championship material
“I see Randy and A.J. Styles (as opponents), but I’m hoping for Cena when he gets back (from hiatus). I know some people don’t see me as championship material. I haven’t fully gotten their confidence. Beating someone like Cena would solidify me in their eyes as champion.”
On how Rob Gronkowski would do in WWE:
“If wrestling in WWE is something Gronk wanted to pursue, he would be great at it. He has the charisma, the look, the size, the strength. He’s a freak athlete that we see in the NFL. He works hard and if it’s his goal to become a WWE Superstar, he’ll be a great WWE Superstar. He’s a great guy from the interactions I had with him. Nothing but the best for him.”
