JINDER MAHAL SPEAKS OF THE REACTION ON ITS VICTORY IN SQUARE, ITS RETURN AND MORE

Interviewed by CBS Sports, the new WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal spoke of his backstage after his victory at Backlash:

 As soon as I got into the Gorilla Position, they were all there to make me a standing ovation. It was one of the best feelings of my life. I think I never had a standing ovation before. I've been wrestling for fifteen years already so I've done half of my life. It feels good. I had the impression that everything ended up at that time, come back in the Gorilla and receive all the respect of Vince, producers and everyone, a dream come true.

I think it's good for wrestling and the locker room. From seeing me at the bottom of the card, being a guy who was only opening the show and who worked hard to get to the main event today. It motivates everyone and shows them that everything is possible. "

Mahal also spoke with The Times of India and talked about his first run at WWE:

 I came back less than a year ago and honestly during my first run, and I'm the first to admit it, I did not give myself 100%. I was too young. I learned the lessons and thought that if one day I come back to WWE, I will make sure I have no regrets and I will give myself 110%. And when we give ourselves so much, we also receive. I gave myself to the WWE to try to be the best superstar in the roster, and they rewarded me by giving me an opportunity to become WWE
