On a recent edition of the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, Raj Dhesi (formerly Jinder Mahal) stated that his WWE release didn’t come as a surprise to him.
Dhesi was among the wrestlers let go from WWE in mid-April after WrestleMania 40.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his inactivity before his release: “I had become very stale. Creative-wise, I wasn’t doing much, which is okay. I get it. I get it, things change; that’s how my career has always been. It’s a rollercoaster.”
On being okay with the release: “It wasn’t a surprise and I’m okay, ’cause I got released 10 years prior and at that time, it was totally different.”
On his 2014 release: “All three of us [the Three Man Band] weren’t really taking it as seriously as we should have. We were partying too much and we had become rock stars.”
