by Jinder Mahal is a former WWE Champion. He recently got released from WWE. Many did not expect Jinder Mahal to get released from WWE.
Jinder Mahal recently in a TikTok video answered fans questions. Jinder says he missed out on having a babyface run in WWE.
“Historically, South Asian wrestlers, Indian wrestlers, wrestlers of Indian heritage have always been portrayed in a stereotypical way. I think that needs to change. We each have our own identities, we have our stories. We want to share those stories. I think now is the perfect opportunity for me to introduce a new character, not even so much a character, just be myself. I’m Canadian, I’m proud of my Indian heritage, Punjabi heritage.”
“I definitely wanna have elements of that to represent my culture and who I’m proud of. But, one thing that I missed out on was having a baby face run. I think that would have been really good. You guys are getting a chance to see my personality through TikTok. I just recently did a Chris Van Vliet podcast episode. I got a chance to myself and the response has been overwhelming. You know, I guess nobody ever saw this side of me. Yeah, I’m excited to show more of it in the future. There’s a time and a place for a big Maharaja baby face run, so let’s make it happen.” (H/T: Fightful)
