Jinder Mahal, who garnered significant attention earlier this year with his WWE WorldHeavyweight Title match on RAW, did not secure the championship andwas eventually released from WWE. Being proud of his Punjabi heritage, Mahal has made it clear he wants to change the fact that South Asian wrestlers are underrepresented.
The former WWE Superstar has been actively wrestling on the independent scene, taking part in events for promotions like GCW, Black Label Pro, and AAA, as its clear he is making his mark in the business.
While speaking during a recent interview with Straight Talk Wrestling, Mahal talked about his goal of mentoring the next generation of South Asian wrestlers. He shared how, in the past, there were few resources or veterans willing to help South Asian talent in wrestling. Now, he wants to change that by creating a sense of community and support among these wrestlers, whether theyre from India, Canada, or the U.S.
Mahal emphasized the importance of giving back and helping others overcome the challenges of underrepresentation and discrimination in the wrestling world. He is committed to fostering a spirit of unity rather than competition, believing there is room for all to succeed. His focus is on building a brotherhood and creating opportunities for South Asian wrestlers to thrive in the industry.
Mahals comments come after he called out WWE for their lack of South Asian representation, where he pointed out the fact that WWE only had one South Asian in the company, despite the fact that there are more than 2 billion in population there. Nonetheless, well have to see how Mahal will fare in his mentorship role, as its certainly a noble cause.
