Jinder Mahal

I want to be the IC Champion. I want to be the U.S. Champion. I want to be the tag team champion. I want to hold all the championships.

I think I'm going to be successful in WWE.

My uncle wrestled in the late '80s to early '90s, and I was too young to see his matches. However, he has always supported me in my journey, and I think that without his support, all this would not have been possible. He taught me a lot, and he is the reason that I'm a WWE wrestler.

The Big Show and Mark Henry and even John Cena helped me along my journey.

I would love to take the WWE championship back to India. Nobody has ever taken a WWE championship to India, so just to think about the power that I would have to motivate the youth and to inspire a tremendous amount of people there is amazing.

I was really into sports, playing track and field, amateur wrestling, volleyball, and soccer. I was a very active kid and teenager.

I knew that I'd be able to climb the mountain, but in such a short period? I didn't think so. I mean, 'SmackDown Live' is the land of opportunity, and I'm a living proof of that.

Being part of 'Raw 1000' in the same ring with Undertaker and Kane leading an army of young hungry wrestlers was amazing.

The secret to my success is persistence.

I'm really proud to represent both cultures, Canadian and Indian, and hopefully I'm making both countries proud as WWE champion.

I listen to a lot of audio books and business-related books. All of the great businessmen have one thing in common: they write down their goals. They keep a journal. Not only that, but I write down my goals, and I check it off: whether or not I ate right, work out, check it off.

I drink protein shakes when I travel. That is how I maintain myself, and I exercise six days a week.
