I want to be the IC Champion. I want to be the U.S. Champion. I want to be the tag team champion. I want to hold all the championships.
Jinder Mahal -
I knew that I'd be able to climb the mountain, but in such a short period? I didn't think so. I mean, 'SmackDown Live' is the land of opportunity, and I'm a living proof of that.

I'm an example that, in the WWE, there are opportunities for people who work hard, improve constantly.
Jinder Mahal -
There was originally no plan in place for me to become WWE champion. It felt like I became the No. 1 contender out of nowhere. I call what I did forcing the results. I wasn't happy with my position. I was putting in the work, but I wasn't getting the results. I was going to force the result no matter what the cost.
Jinder Mahal -
Even in WWE, you believe it when it happens. Because anything can happen in the WWE at the last minute. Things happen, things change, and decisions are made.
Jinder Mahal -
If a situation came about something that would offend someone culturally, I would definitely speak up. WWE would want us to speak up because negative press is not our goal.
Jinder Mahal -
I know the way WWE works. Things change last minute.
Jinder Mahal -
Personally, I am hoping being champion will increase the WWE Universe in India because I know that Indian fans are really passionate, and I want to be WWE Champion in India.

-
I want to retire, when it's all said and done, as one of the greats.
Jinder Mahal -
I want to be one of the greatest champions of all time. And it's a good pressure - I need this pressure. Because if pressure is making me work, if it's making me work harder - it was hard work to get to the championship, to win the championship.
Jinder Mahal -
Wrestlemania 34 was a huge moment for me both professionally and personally.
Jinder Mahal -
I eat every two hours to balance my diet.
Jinder Mahal -
MMA, cricket, or anything, you cannot just coast. Every day, you have to wake up hungry.
Jinder Mahal -
The most passionate fans are from India, and I hope that I can motivate more Indians to pursue wrestling - or any athletics, for that matter - and become champions.
Jinder Mahal
-
I'm very proud to represent the great nation of India.
Jinder Mahal -
WWE is growing every day, every week, and every month.
Jinder Mahal -
Two months before I re-signed with WWE, I decided just out of nowhere that I will start dieting, to work on my body and train harder. I started focusing more. Two months later, WWE called me back to re-sign. That was not a coincidence but the universe telling me that I am ready.
Jinder Mahal -
India has very motivated and talented people, and given the right opportunity, we always rise to the top.
Jinder Mahal -
If I aspire to be the king of WWE, one day if I keep working at it, I will be the king of WWE.
Jinder Mahal -
When I came to WWE - I got signed when I was 23. When I was on 'SmackDown' roster, the main roster, I was 24. I wasn't ready for those responsibilities. I wasn't - I wasn't seasoned enough as a wrestler, as an in-ring performer.

At the end of the day, I write down an 'L' or a 'W,' whether or not the day was a 'Loss' or if it was a 'Win.' It really bothers you to have to write down an 'L.' An 'L' looks like a day I ate a lot of junk food, or I didn't work out when I was supposed to or train when I was supposed to train, or if I felt that I had a bad performance in the ring.
Jinder Mahal -
I wrestled Tyler Breeze one time when there was, like, 20 people at the show.
Jinder Mahal -
WrestleMania is amazing.
Jinder Mahal -
I have a very positive outlook. I set goals for myself, and I write down my goals.
