Jinder Mahal has been WWE Champion longer than any of us expected and he's beaten the likes of Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura along the way. We know that he'll more than likely hold the title through December because of the WWE Live event tour in India but just how long will the Modern Day Maharajah's title reign last for? Could he break some records along the way?
Wrestling fans hope not but in a new interview, Mahal was asked about surpassing CM Punk's 434-day record as champion and replied: "Absolutely think I can. Why not? I believe I haven’t even entered my prime yet. So, I’m 31 years old, I’m already WWE Champion for 140 something days at the moment. I’ve a lengthy title run ahead of me and many more title runs yet to come."
That's not a particularly exciting thought but Mahal's dream WrestleMania opponent might be. "Brock Lesnar — that would be amazing. Or someone like John Cena. Even John Cena’s such a big, big star here in India it would be a blockbuster match. Especially if I beat someone like John Cena, I would really establish my own legacy, which is my number 1 goal."
Rumour has it that Mahal will battle Lesnar at Survivor Series so that's actually a clash we can expect to see become a reality much sooner than on the Grandest Stage of Them All!
