WWE News: Jinder Mahal Reveals His Reaction to WWE Title Shot, Angle & Orton Go on Double Date

– Jinder Mahal discussed his reaction to finding out that he would be winning a shot at the WWE Championship back in April as part of a new interview. Mahal told the Sporting News that he was surprised by the news.

“At that time I was receiving tweets, people were like, ‘Why is Jinder even considered in the No. 1 (contender) match?’,” he said. “And then one of the boys told me, ‘You’re going in with Randy next,’ and I was like, ‘What?’ and then I saw Randy, he came into the trainer’s room, and he was like, ‘I think we’re working soon.’ WWE is very unpredictable. I knew even though I could be winning, I didn’t want to get too excited. It was a weird feeling when I became WWE champion. I didn’t have a huge moment of celebration because my goals were a lot bigger than this. I knew now I needed to step up.”

– Randy Orton’s wife Kim posted to Instagram noting that she and Orton went on a double date with Kurt Angle and his wife Giovanna, as you can see below:
