During a recent appearance on Sean “X-Pac” Waltman’s “Pro Wrestling 4 Life” podcast, former WWE Superstars the Bollywood Boyz commented on working with Jinder Mahal during his WWE Championship run back in 2017, not getting much in-ring work during that time period, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Samir on thinking they’d get a push during Mahal’s WWE Championship run: “When Jinder got the title, we felt like [we would work more] but it never happened and we felt strung along for a little bit. I got hurt for a few months with a torn ACL. Other than that, we were just waiting and thought we’d get that run.”
Samir on their run following Mahal’s title loss: “When Jinder dropped the title, we were looking over our shoulders and thought, ‘is this it for us?’ For three straight years, we still got booked. I remember Michael Hayes sitting us down when my brother was injured and he was like, ‘We applaud you for everything you’ve done and you work hard so we’ll keep you going with Jinder and we’ll get you in tag matches and do six-man matches.’ When my brother was out, I wasn’t sure what they would do with me, but they kept us going because they appreciated the work we were doing.”
