Jinder Mahal Says Impact Called Him Before His WWE Return

– Jinder Mahal recently appeared on Talk is Jericho (transcript via wrestlinginc.com), and revealed that Impact Wrestling called him right before his WWE return…

“I actually got a call from the other [pro] wrestling promotion too. Yes, [Impact Wrestling called Mahal] and there was a pay-per-view in Orlando [Florida] on Sunday and I live in Tampa [Florida], so they were like, ‘yeah, can you come talk to us on a Sunday? We want to talk to you. Talk to Big.’ I said, ‘okay.’ Saturday, the day before, [Mark] Carrano called me, ‘Jinder, we want to sign you back.’ That’s the weirdest thing, so I sat at home, literally, for two years. No one cared about me. Nobody [cared] because I didn’t care! All of a sudden, when I started caring, other people started caring. And then, so I told Carrano, ‘hey listen, I have a meeting tomorrow. Let me just see my options. I want to talk to them.’ Obviously, I knew I wanted to come back to WWE, but I already told them that I would come talk to them, so I was going to keep my word and talk to them. And then, I called Carrano back and said, ‘send the contract over.'”
