Jinder Mahal spoke with MMA Junkie about former UFC Champion Ronda Rousey signing a full-time deal with WWE and gave her props for trying to fake the media out in the days leading up to the Royal Rumble, saying he can’t wait until WrestleMania 34 now.
Jinder was also encouraged by the fact that Rousey seems to be taking her WWE run seriously by signing a multi-year deal.
“That speaks volumes for her,” he said. “I know she’s a big wrestling fan growing up, and her name comes from ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper. She’s a wrestling fan, and I know she has a passion for the business, which is sometimes the hardest thing, because sometimes people come from the outside and they don’t have the passion for it. It’s just a one-time deal – oh, Wrestlemania – and it’s big paycheck. That’s awesome that she’s signed fulltime. Just like she dominated the UFC, she’s going to dominate pro wrestling.”
