Jinder Mahal has taken the wrestling world by storm over the past few months thanks to his meteoric rise to the top of WWE. Jinder is the current WWE Champion, and now that he’s at the top he’s been working hard to improve his character each and every week.
It seems that every Tuesday night there’s a new tweak that’s been made to how Jinder Mahal’s character is presented. During a recent interview with the Times of India, Mahal noted that he does come up with ideas for his character, and a lot of the ideas we’ve been seeing lately have also come from Triple H.
“A lot of it is my idea and actually a lot has come from Triple H as well. He is also very hand on working behind the scenes. Presentation is everything and it is very important in this business I believe. Look at the all-time greats like the Bret Hart, The Rock- look at Finn Balor right now, his entrance is spectacular. It is so impactful and it sets the tone for the match. So, I have been throwing in my own set of ideas with Triple H, along with the backstage producers, stage crews, lighting guys and it is a combined effort. Credit doesn’t go to the people working backstage, but they are an integral part of the show.”
Triple H worked with Jinder Mahal in NXT, and Jinder praised Triple H for the work he does in WWE’s developmental brand while calling him one of the smartest minds in the business.
“I believe it was the prophecy made by Triple H in NXT at that time (Gold Rush tournament). Two young guys who he thought were the future of the business and it turned out to be true. Rollins is a multiple-time champion, I am the current World champion. We were having main event matches in NXT and now we are in the main events in WWE. So I believe it was the prophecy of Triple H. He is one of the smartest minds in the wrestling business and wrestlers that are in NXT right now, main eventing NXT shows are the guys who you are going see main-eventing WWE PPVs in Raw and SmackDown Live in the future.”
