During a recent interview with “PWInsider Elite,” former WWE Champion Raj Dhesi (Jinder Mahal) recounted a wild road trip story before he and his 3MB partner Drew McIntyre were released in 2014.
Dhesi explained that he and McIntyre arrived late to a WWE event because their rental car ran low on gas while traveling through Texas.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On staying in Texas after RAW to party ahead of a Tuesday SmackDown TV taping: “We’re at somewhere in Texas for Raw on a Monday night, and normally after Raw, you make the drive, so you’re already in the town for SmackDown on the Tuesday. For some reason me and Drew decided to stay back and party. We’re like, ‘We’ll just make the drive tomorrow.’”
On what happened after they ran out of gas while on the road in Texas: “So now we’re panicking. Anyway, we call a gas station, somehow convinced them to take a Jerry can, fill it with gas, drive it to us, and ‘We’ll pay you a hundred bucks.’ … It was enough to get us to the gas station and pump up, and we showed up to TV a few hours late.”
Both men eventually returned to WWE and became World Heavyweight Champions.
