Jinder Mahal On Triple H Being Past His Prime And The Pressure Of Their Upcoming Match
Jinder Mahal (along with the Singh Brothers) spoke with TOI Sports about his upcoming match against Triple H in New Delhi, India. You can check out the full interview in the video above. Here are some of the highlights via Times of India:
Facing Triple H:
"This is definitely the biggest match of my career. Probably the biggest match in Indian wrestling history. I'm really disappointed that I'm not here as WWE champion, but a match against Triple H is more than making up for it. I was really looking forward to [facing] Kevin Owens, but this is a really big match."
Feeling the pressure of measuring up to his opponent:
"I would be lying if I said it was not a little bit nervous. I definitely feel the pressure. I'm very, very nervous. Triple H said in a recent interview that now his job is to ensure that the next generation of WWE superstars are up to par, so basically Triple H is the measuring sick, so I need this match personally. I want to see how I measure up to Triple H, the 'King of Kings'."
Triple H being past his prime:
"I personally believe that Triple H is a bit past his prime, whereas I haven't even hit my prime. I'm 31 years old. Day by day, week by week, month by month I'm getting better. I hope Triple H sees that, and come tomorrow I think he's going to see that my arm is going to be raised at the end of the night [in celebration of victory]."
