WWE Champion Jinder Mahal recently did an interview with ESPN to talk about his recent title win over Randy Orton at Backlash. He was also asked to comment regarding the criticism over his new physique. Here are the highlights:
How he transformed his physique:
“When I train hard, I look better. I see the way I look on TV or in the mirror, and it gives me confidence. It translates into the ring. I have more confidence in the ring and can be more aggressive. If you saw me from a few years ago, the confidence level is night and day, and that’s because of the way I look.”
His response to people like Ryback criticizing how he got his new physique:
“I’ve been tested plenty, and never failed one.”
The current push he has been receiving:
“I know Vince [McMahon] appreciates wrestlers taking initiative, putting in the hard work. He had confidence in me. He knew I would embrace the opportunity, and not let WWE down. I think I have been proving that in my matches ever since.”
