E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness Recap w/ Dolph Ziggler – Taking Arn Anderson’s Spinebuster, Not Happy With Current Role in WWE, Will He Resign? More!

After his victory against Randy Orton at Sunday’s WWE Battleground event, WWE Champion Jinder Mahal spoke with Indian Express and talked about The Great Khali’s return to WWE.
“Not only on SmackDown live but also on the entire WWE, I run the show and call the shots. With the Great Khali behind me, I am truly unstoppable. I have a great relationship with Khali, he is like my older brother. As Indians, we stick together. He was the first person I contacted after announcing the Punjabi Prison Match. We are in contact all the time and he is one of my role models and I want to follow his footsteps. He has helped put India on the map of WWE and I hope he is happy with my performance at Battleground.”
As previously noted, WWE decided to bring Khali in to help give Jinder a rub. The feeling right now is that Jinder isn’t very popular in India, despite being WWE Champion. The belief is that aligning Jinder with Khali will help him in the long run in-terms of popularity in India.
As previously reported, the recent episode of NXT saw the long-awaited debut of former ROH and IWGP tag team champion Bobby Fish. Fish squared off against Aleister Black in a losing effort. You can read our full spoiler report from Wednesday’s tapings here.
