A former WWE Champion has commented on the creative freedom he has with promos under the new company regime.
The new WWE regime has now been in effect for well over a year, with Vince McMahon and the rest of the previous regime now leaving the company.
Speaking on the Gorilla Position podcast, former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal discussed his two recent promo segments with The Rock and Seth Rollins on Raw, and the additional freedom WWE stars now have under the new regime.
He said:
“Those two promos that I had, one with The Rock and one with Seth Rollins, a lot of that was what I kind of wanted to say and I was giving the freedom of some level which was awesome. You’ve got to trust the performers. We are each individual we bring different things, and let everybody shine, right? It’s an exciting time for WWE, it’s an exciting time to be a WWE performer.
“I really believe the WWE Universe, our fans, are going to dictate what happens a lot more on our show now. In the past sometimes when WWE was stuck in its ways, this is the direction we are going no matter, however, the crowd is going to react, they’re going to react.”
Jinder went on to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw the week after the promo segment.
