However, the news came as a shock to many, as no one in their wildest dream expected McMahon to leave wrestling. Speaking to Denise Salcedo, Raj Dhesi, fka Jinder Mahal, stated that McMahon stepping back was the craziest wrestling experience ever.

The former World Champion explained what went down on the day Mr. McMahon sent a text to all superstars, explaining the situation. Many couldn’t believe it, as they expected Vince McMahon would work until the very last day.

“The craziest experience because nobody ever saw this coming is when Vince McMahon resigned. We were all ringside. It was a couple of hours before RAW. We all got a text message at the same time from Vince, ‘Hey I’m 78 years old. It’s time to retire now and enjoy my life.’ We were all like, ‘Wait, what?’ cause we thought he was going to d*e in gorilla [position]. Vince was gonna run WWE till the day that he died. So, that was a huge, crazy pivotal moment; a huge shock,” Mahal said.

Jinder Mahal won two titles in WWE under Vince McMahon’s regime

In 2017, Jinder Mahal became a notable star when WWE under Vince McMahon’s creative regime decided to push The Modern Day Maharaja. Soon, Mahal won the WWE Championship from Randy Orton and went on to have a reign for nearly six months on the blue brand.

In 2018, Jinder Mahal became the first Indian-born superstar to hold the United States Championship when he won the title at WrestleMania 34 in a Fatal 4-Way match. Unfortunately, he lost the title to a returning Jeff Hardy less than two weeks later. Moreover, he also held the 24/7 Championship under Vince McMahon’s regime.
