Jinder Mahal is the current WWE Champion, and he’s been champion for over 140 days now. Mahal’s title reign has surpassed some of the greats, and it doesn’t look like he’ll be dropping the title any time soon.
Of course in order to become the longest reigning WWE Champion of the modern era, Jinder Mahal will have to surpass CM Punk’s impressive 434 day title reign, and Mahal seemed confident when Sportskeeda asked him if he will break the record during a recent interview.
“Absolutely think I can. Why not? I believe I haven’t even entered my prime yet. So, I’m 31 years old, I’m already WWE Champion for 140 something days at the moment. I’ve a lengthy title run ahead of me and many more title runs yet to come.”
Surpassing CM Punk’s title reign isn’t the only goal on Jinder Mahal’s list. He was also asked about his dream WrestleMania opponent, and named two of the biggest stars in the business as potential opponents for the big event.
“Brock Lesnar — that would be amazing. Or someone like John Cena. Even John Cena’s such a big, big star here in India it would be a blockbuster match. Especially if I beat someone like John Cena, I would really establish my own legacy, which is my number 1 goal.”
It’s too early to tell who he might be facing at WrestleMania, but it looks like Jinder could be facing Brock Lesnar at the Survivor Series pay-per-view next month. You can get more on that here.
