WWE Superstar Jinder Mahal was recently interviewed by Inside the Ropes and he discussed the original storyline plans/pitches to have Saurav Gurjar in his faction, but unfortunately Gurjar had to stay in India due to visa issues. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
Jinder Mahal on his original pitch to be grouped with Saurav and Veer: “Yes. So when I came back, I spoke to Vince about giving me the Indus Sher tag team, Saurav and Rinku, Veer and Saurav. Unfortunately, Saurav was in India, so I got Shanky. So it wasn’t the original plan, but, you know, making it work, and hopefully when Saurav makes it back. He’s dealing with some visa issues. I think once they get sorted, you know, let’s add more more to the group because the Indus Sher tag team in NXT, phenomenal, great look.”
His thoughts on Shanky: “Shanky is awesome too, he brings something special. Seven feet tall. But I think we get that tag team, we have Shanky, we have me like, even though we’re a group, we’re still different. You know, we dress different. We have different styles. Everything is different. So I think it’s a good, good group. So that’s one of the things didn’t get yet. But I’m hopeful that it will happen.”
