Jinder Mahal Says He Can’t Wait To Be A Babyface

Jinder Mahal is the current WWE Champion, and he’s also the top heel in SmackDown Live. Jinder’s heel character has helped him reach the top of WWE, but apparently the Modern Day Maharaja isn’t interested in playing a heel forever.

During a recent interview with ESPN, Mahal noted that he’s looking forward to the evolution of his character.

“I am interested in seeing what other characters I could play. The evolution of a WWE character is such that things change and I can’t wait to have a babyface character,” Mahal said.

Even though Jinder Mahal is a heel in America, he is for all intents and purposes a babyface in India. He’ll be working as a babyface during the upcoming WWE live events in India which are set to take place in December, and he noted that he hopes the reaction will inspire creative to turn him.

“I can’t wait for the crowd reaction when I come here and definitely the WWE will see some of that reaction. Maybe that starts to plug something in creative and you might see a different side of me.”

Turning face isn’t his only goal, as he also said that he wants to be the greatest of all time.

“My goal is to be the greatest of all time. There isn’t any point setting small goals. You have to set large goals. When I set the goal of becoming WWE champion, people would laugh. I remember when I was entered into the six pack challenge match to be the No.1 contender for the WWE title, there were many who asked ‘why is Jinder here?’ But I set my aims high. I proved the doubters wrong and I look forward to proving more doubters wrong.”

Do you think Jinder Mahal would work as a face? Sound off in the comments below.
