On how Jinder Mahal’s first two months as WWE Championship compares to JBL’s first two months as WWE Champion:

JK: I think JBL was a little further ahead because he was a little more seasoned at the time than Jinder is now. He does have a lot of guys around him to help him and coach him. I don’t think he is quite at the level JBL was at. I think JBL flourished quickly. Jinder Mahal is taking a little slower growth into being the WWE Champion. So far I like it, I am very willing to be patient with it because I like old school heels.
