WWE Champion Jinder Mahal recently spoke with USA Today to promote WWE SummerSlam, and below are some interview highlights:
Drew McIntyre in NXT:
“I know that Drew is very motivated; he’s driven and focused. He took it quite personally when he was released by WWE. He set out on a mission to prove he is the best in the world and I truly believe he is one of the best performers in the world. He is just an animal. He for sure will be NXT champion and I know for sure he is a future champion, whether it’s the Universal championship or my championship.
“Somewhere down the line – it might not be for a while – but there will be a 3MB reunion. I had a lot of fun with 3MB. I learned a lot of things. That’s one of the things with WWE – to stay relevant, you have to constantly evolve. All three of us have evolved and now I’m WWE champion.”
John Cena:
“”He is this generation’s greatest. I am the future. I don’t think I’ve hit my prime. I need to establish myself. Beating someone of the caliber of John Cena at an event like Summerslam would be awesome.”
