Jinder Mahal has been the WWE Champion ever since May, but his title reign came to an end on Tuesday night after AJ Styles hit him with the Phenomenal Forearm and pinned him in the middle of the ring to win the belt.
WWE has been promoting Jinder Mahal as the WWE Champion for the upcoming live events in India, so after he dropped the title it was speculated that he may have dropped the belt so he can be given time off to rest up.
However, Mahal recently took to Instagram to say that he’s not injured, and he will be WWE Champion again one day.
The former WWE Champion posted the following:
“To @ajstylesp1, you were the better man for one night. Six months I held the #WWEChamoionship, defended it countless times, all over the world. I will one day raise the title again. To my haters and wrestling “insiders”, this was NOT an experiment, I am NOT injured, I have NOT violated the wellness policy. So keep throwing shade my way , it only motivates me.”
AJ Styles will now go on to face Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, but we’ll just have to wait and see how long his title reign lasts.
”I have NOT violated the wellness policy.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
