Jinder Mahal Reveals Which RAW Star Is His Dream Opponent

In an interview with Natalya for The Calgary Sun, Jinder Mahal said that Seth Rollins is his dream opponent on RAW, as the two fought for the NXT title back in 2012. Here are highlights:

On his dream opponent: “Seth Rollins. The first-ever NXT Championship was decided in a match between myself and Seth Rollins. Unfortunately for me, Seth won that match and will always be known as the first-ever NXT champion. Seth would then go on and capture the WWE Championship, along with many other Championships in WWE. I would also eventually become WWE Champion.”

On his transformation in WWE: “My rise in WWE was kickstarted by my physical transformation. My transformation represents more than what is just skin deep; it represents my motivation, drive and willingness to constantly improve. For this WrestleMania, I did an eight-week bodybuilder diet and exercise program, which was extremely difficult to do considering our travel schedules. I hired a professional coach, carried my pre-packaged meals with me in a cooler bag, and woke up early or stayed up late to ensure that I didn’t miss a meal or workout.”

On his Wrestlemania moment: “Wrestlemania 34 was a huge moment for me both professionally and personally. Although I’ve been part of WrestleMania in the past, I felt like I hadn’t yet had a ‘Wrestlemania Moment,’ and this year’s event definitely gave me that career-defining moment. However, my ultimate goal is to main event WrestleMania!”
