Jinder Mahal was recently interviewed by Nick Schwartz of Fox Sports. This came only a few days after winning the WWE Championship at Backlash. Jinder spoke on a wide variety of topics surrounding his recent title victory.

Jinder becoming WWE Champion was a shock to many wrestling fans around the world. How was the response backstage of WWE among the other wrestler’s?

Here is what Jinder had to say:

“I think the response has been great from the rest of the boys. You know, I’m an example that in the WWE there are opportunities for people who work hard, improve constantly. I think it’s great for morale, too, for guys who are lower on the card. Sometimes you get unhappy with your position. I was there with them. I was in the opening match, losing to El Torito in the opening match in 30 seconds – and now I’m WWE Champion just through coming back every week and being relentless and wanting to improve everything. My promos, my look, my physique. I think, all in all, it’s a great change in WWE… it showed they’re willing to reward hard work.”
