WWE: Vince McMahon Is “Very Happy” After Jinder Mahal Became WWE Champion

At Backlash, Jinder Mahal shocked the world by becoming the WWE champion. Fans were in absolute shock after Jinder won the WWE championship by beating Randy Orton. This title reign seriously came out of nowhere.
It looks like a bad decision so far, but who knows, maybe one day we recognise this decision. If you are an old WWE fan, you would probably remember the time when Chris Jericho became the WWE champion for the first time.
Fans criticised WWE for this decision. But now, we understand that they were right, and we were wrong. Who knows if something similar happens in this case too.
There are some good sides of making Jinder Mahal champion too. You see, when JBL became the WWE champion in 2004, this reign came out of nowhere as well. At the end, it turned out to be an excellent title run. And you have got to admit this, Jinder might not be as good as JBL on the mic, but he is a better in ring performer indeed.
Fox Sports recently hooked up with the new WWE champion Jinder Mahal. The modern day Maharaja told them that Vince McMahon is very happy for him for winning the WWE championship. Check out the highlights;
Vince McMahon’s message for him after winning the title:
“He was very happy, shook my hand. He was standing up when I came back through Gorilla. I get a lot of advice from Vince. I believe he’s a genius, so a lot of promos and everything… the last couple weeks after a match or a promo, Vince is the first person that I come to talk to. He was very happy, he could see that I was improving, and Vince is one of those guys… if you care, he cares about you. I have a great relationship with Vince now, which is one of those things I never had before because I would kind of avoid him. But now I come back and Vince is the first person that I see every week.”
Triple H recently said that when he returned to WWE in 2016, he was a “man as opposed to a kid trying to make it in the business”
“He is right. I was 23, I was right out of college, and then I debuted, I was on the SmackDown roster when I was 24. So it was a little bit too much too soon. I’ll be the first to admit that I wasn’t quite ready for the responsibility inside the ring and outside the ring. I got sidetracked.
“Now, looking back, being released was one of the best things that ever happened to me because I developed so much as a performer and as a person outside the ring. Inside of the ring, I got my confidence back. I had lost my confidence just working short matches, losing in like three minutes. I had to wrestle in these 20-minute long matches, main-event style matches, and I got my confidence back. So that was very important.”
