WWE News: Braun Strowman and Sasha Banks Closing NYSE, Dolph Ziggler Has Q&A, New York Times Looks at Jinder Mahal
– Braun Strowman and Sasha Banks will ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange today at 3:56 PM ET.
– Dolph Ziggler had a Q&A on WWE’s Youtube in which he spoke about his summer, fashion, his favorite foods and more.
– The New York Times has an article on Jinder Mahal’s current run as WWE Champion. It talks about what the gimmick means to WWE and pop culture.
The article reads: “Mr. Dhesi [Jinder Mahal], the first WWE champion of Indian descent, is a heel (wrestling speak for a villain), so it is his job to turn crowds into booing, angry mobs. As part of his persona, he exhorts the crowd with statements of cultural confrontation: that Americans are too clueless to realize that greatness comes from immigrants (and therefore, himself). The heated rhetoric often sounds like it would be at home on a cable news panel rather than a wrestling ring.“
