Jinder Mahal Wants To Have A Big Babyface Run

Jinder Mahal says there’s a time and a place for a babyface run for him.

WWE released former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal on April 19, and he is preparing for the next chapter of his career. He has said that he has more goals in wrestling. The veteran recently revealed that having a babyface run is one of them.

Jinder Mahal took to social media to answer a fan, who asked him whether he would want to portray a different character.

“So, historically, South Asian wrestlers, Indian wrestlers, wrestlers of Indian heritage, have always been portrayed in a stereotypical way,” Jinder Mahal said. “I think that needs to change. We each have our own identities, we have our stories. We want to share those stories. I think now is the perfect opportunity for me to introduce a new character. Not so much a character, just be myself. I’m Canadian, I’m proud of my Indian heritage, Punjabi heritage. I would definitely want to have elements of that to represent my culture and who I’m proud of.

“One thing that I missed out was having a babyface fun. I think that would be really good. You guys are getting a chance to see my personality on TikTok. I just did a Chris Van Vliet podcast episode, I got a chance to be myself. The response has been overwhelming. I guess nobody ever saw this side of me. Yeah, I’m excited to show more of it in the future. Definitely, I think there’s a time and a place for a big Maharaja babyface run, so let’s make it happen.”
