They say that anything can happen in the world of wrestling and back in 2017 Jinder Mahal took his career to the next level when he defeated Randy Orton to become the new WWE Champion. In the years that followed Jinder Mahal went on to win the WWE United States Championship and the WWE 24/7 Championship before his second run with the company came to an end when he was released back in April.
Jinder Mahal is now wrestling under his real name Raj Dhesi, and he recently took to social media to address some claims that fans have made about WWE dropping the ball on him during his time with the company.
“So I see this comment a lot and I wanna kinda share my opinion on it. ‘WWE dropped the ball on me’ – I would say that’s not true.
“Had a very long career, 12 years in WWE. WWE Champion, won the United States Championship at WrestleMania, made a great living, really set myself up for the future, for the rest of my life. Given me a sense of financial independence where now I can just do whatever I wanna do. Freedom, flexibility, got to travel the world, build amazing relationships, a lot of good memories. And it’s gonna continue now on the independents, just doing things my way.
“So WWE did not drop the ball, I had a great career, a great time, and, yeah, thank you for all the fans tuning in for all these years.”
