ONE Heavyweight Champion Arjan Bhullar is looking to get into professional wrestling, and says he has trained with Jinder Mahal. Bhullar spoke with ESPN for a new interview and discussed how he’s looking to get into professional wrestling, having mentioned AEW and WWE after he knocked out Brandon Vera at ONE Championship: Dangal which aired on May 15th. You can check out highlights from his comments below:

On his ONE contract allowing him to wrestle: “It’s something we talked about before signing. I had it written into my contract. It was something One agreed with. They wanted to create superheroes. That’s what I want to do too. I’ve always loved pro wrestling. As a kid you see a full stadium, you see these superheroes doing incredible things. I’ve always loved that. Whether it’s the Olympics, MMA, or pro wrestling. It’s the same visual so I connect with it.”

on training with Mahal: “I’ve already trained with Jinder in the past. I feel like if I put my mind to it, I can do it. I will do both absolutely. No one has done both sports at the same time. I want to be the first.”
