Jinder Mahal

My favorite growing up was Bret Hart. I just idolized him when I was a child; he was my hero.

WWE is growing every day, every week, and every month.

In Birmingham, England, I had a match with Tyson Kidd, and Mick Foley was at ringside and delivered a socko to me at the end of the match. That was another one of those moments that, if you told me I would be in the ring with Mick Foley giving me a socko, I wouldn't believe you.

One of my goals is to become a WWE Hall of Famer.

If a situation came about something that would offend someone culturally, I would definitely speak up. WWE would want us to speak up because negative press is not our goal.

Every day in WWE is blessing, and every day, I have to outwork my competition.

SmackDown Live' is a great place with a great roster and many talented superstars.

I would tell Vince McMahon, 'Hey! I'm telling you, I'm going to run this place one day.' And I think Vince likes to hear that. He knew I was motivated. He knew I was hungry.

I'm a firm believer that you get back what you put in.

Getting released in 2014 was the best thing that happened to me because I got to regain my focus, regain my pride, and come back as the best-conditioned athlete there is in WWE, which ultimately led me to become the single greatest WWE champion.

I was on 'SmackDown' TV when I was 24. I was released when I was 27 and came back at 29.

In order to succeed in WWE, you're responsible. If you put in 100 percent, you get back 100 percent.
