Jinder Mahal recently spoke to Gorilla Position where he revealed his plan to get back on top and how positive he was that he would be able to achieve that goal.
Mahal walked into 2017's SummerSlam event as WWE Champion and defeated Shinsuke Nakamura. However, this year, the former WWE champion wasn’t booked on the Summerslam card and hasn’t been put into anything meaningful since his match with Roman Reigns at Money In The Bank. Despite Mahal’s status at the moment as somewhat of a glorified jobber, the former WWE champ doesn’t see that as a negative:
"I see it as motivating to me," Mahal said. "It's motivation to me because I see where I was last year I was WWE Champion. Unfortunately this year [I didn't] have a match. I could be disappointed. I could play the blame game. Or I could look deep into myself. What am I doing that I could make sure to do better to make sure I was on this card? I gotta go back to what made me WWE Champion so next year I can be Universal Champion or WWE Champion and main event SummerSlam again."
Mahal stunned the professional wrestling world with his victory against Randy Orton last year at Backlash and now, the Modern day Maharaja is looking to shock the world again by reclaiming a top title as he confidently spoke about his belief that he could be the best.
"I did it before, I shocked the WWE Universe," Mahal said. "I beat Randy Orton, one of the all-time greats, you know. Why can't I beat a Brock Lesnar?
"Why can't I beat AJ Styles? I beat AJ Styles in the past before. You know as soon I figure out why Kurt Angle keeps putting me in situations that I'm not ready for like making me defend the United States Championship on my first night on Raw. You know, I think I'm gonna be champion again. I think I'm going to be successful in WWE."
