WWE Champion Jinder Mahal recently spoke with SportsKeeda to promote this Sunday’s Money In The Bank pay-per-view event in St. Louis, MO at the Royal Farms Arena. Here are the highlights.
So you’ve shown interest in facing both Brock Lesnar and John Cena with an added desire of wanting to defeat the greats of the business. So if there was one WWE legend you’d love to have a programme with, who would it be and why?
“I think The Rock would be my perfect pick just because he’s such a huge Superstar and growing up he was one of my favourites, you know he was my idol. Just everything – from the way he spoke to his fashion sense to his style in the ring – you know he was a very fierce competitor. He was very strong and was always in tremendous shape and great on the microphone, very entertaining. So that would be my dream opponent of all time, to work a programme with the Rock.
You know I think it’s still possible and can happen one day. He likes to come back to the WWE every once in awhile. I think it’s a real chance that the opportunity can come to fruition.”
As we all know Undertaker apparently retired at WrestleMania. What are your thoughts on that and do you think there is another chapter left in the Deadman’s storied career?
“I believe there is another chapter left but that’s the thing about the WWE, that’s the thing with Undertaker, he’s so mysterious, he’s so unpredictable, you don’t know what that chapter’s going to be. You know he can pop up anytime, he can pop on RAW or on SmackDown. He can pop up at WrestleMania, you just never know, but I believe that he still has something left. But that’s just my opinion. Even if he’s done, he’ll go down as one of the greatest of all time.”
