Jinder Mahal was released from the WWE in April
Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal has recently spilled some beans regarding the Stamford-based promotion’s behind-the-scenes secrets in an interview with former WWE star Maven Huffman.
‘The Modern Day Maharaja’ was released from his contract with the Stamford-based in April. On the 04/05 episode of Friday Night SmackDown Mahal competed for the last time in the WWE.
The Modern Day Maharaja competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in the WrestleMania edition of SmackDown. Bronson Reed won the battle royal at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
This was Mahal’s second run in the promotion, his first run in promotion was back in the 2010s when he was part of the 3MB faction. The Modern Day Maharaja was the founder of the faction which consisted of Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater.
Jinder Mahal is the current Stu Hart Heritage Champion
After leaving the Stamford-based promotion, the Modern Day Maharaja returned to the independent circuit. Mahal now performs under the ring name ‘Raj Dhesi,’ which he used during his early years in professional wrestling.
Mahal is the current Stu Hart Heritage Champion which he won recently on November 10 against Chris Masters at the Dungeon Wrestling November Pain event at Victoria Pavilion in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
During his recent conversation with former WWE star Maven Huffman on his YouTube channel, Raj Dhesi (aka Jinder Mahal) discussed the long-standing secret behind WWE’s infamous under-ring escapes.
“When we’re in a commercial break, in this case, it is a PPV, so maybe when there is a video package playing, all the lights in the arena go dark. Throughout the night, the ring crew is coming out to change something, generally you can sneak under there without anybody noticing. I’ve done that a bunch of times.
Underneath the ring, it is called a bed. There is a little mat there, and there is a gentleman by the name of Nick Daw who is under there with a monitor. They have got water bottles down there, they’ve got diet Cokes, Red Bulls. So you have your bed, you’ve got your monitor, and Nick actually has a headset to the producers.” Mahal stated.
The Modern Day Maharaja also explained how the wrestlers get the timing right and the amenities they get during the break underneath the ring.
