Jinder Mahal Shoots on WWE Summerslam Snub

It wasn’t all that long ago when Jinder Mahal walked into Money In The Bank to battle Roman Reigns.

The former WWE Champion ended up losing to the Big Dog who went on to become Universal Champion at Summerslam.

By contrast, the Modern Day Maharaja wasn’t even on the show and it seems he isn’t doing much these days but preaching peace and taking losses.

But speaking to Gorilla Position, Mahal doesn’t see that as a negative.

“I see it as motivating to me,” Mahal said.

“It’s motivation to me because I see where I was last year I was WWE Champion. Unfortunately this year [I didn’t] have a match. I could be disappointed. I could play the blame game. Or I could look deep into myself. What am I doing that I could make sure to do better to make sure I was on this card? I gotta go back to what made me WWE Champion so next year I can be Universal Champion or WWE Champion and main event SummerSlam again.”

Mahal shocked the professional wrestling world with his victory against Randy Orton last year to win the WWE Title and now, the Modern-day Maharaja is looking to do it again.

“I did it before, I shocked the WWE Universe,” Mahal said.

“I beat Randy Orton, one of the all-time greats, you know. Why can’t I beat a Brock Lesnar?

“Why can’t I beat AJ Styles? I beat AJ Styles in the past before. You know as soon I figure out why Kurt Angle keeps putting me in situations that I’m not ready for like making me defend the United States Championship on my first night on Raw. You know, I think I’m gonna be champion again. I think I’m going to be successful in WWE.”

Former opening match guy Mahal rose to main event status out of nowhere through his win over Orton at Backlash 2017 for the WWE championship. Jinder also defeated Orton at Battleground and beat Shinsuke Nakamuraat Summerslam 2017.

The Indian star would go on to keep the title until November when he finally lost it to AJ Styles.
