Jinder Mahal is open to signing with AEW
Jinder Mahal has admitted that he was open to the idea of signing with All Elite Wrestling.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor, Bill Apter and Dr. Chris Featherstone, the 38-year-old star revealed that he was keeping his options open. He also teased the possibility of appearing in TNA or New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
"Anything is possible. I would love to go to TNA, AEW, New Japan, anywhere. Or even just independents. I am having a great time, picking my own schedules; spending time with family; just enjoying time off," he said.
Earlier this year, Mahal competed in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which turned out to be his final WWE appearance. Shortly afterward, he was released from the company, ending his second tenure in the process.
After departing the Stamford-based promotion, Mahal was confirmed to appear at Black Label Pro on July 26, making his first appearance for the promotion. Before making his debut for BLP, the former WWE Champion appeared at Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), attacking Effy after his match.
Jinder Mahal recently won the AAA World Tag Team Championship with Satnam Singh. The duo captured the titles at AAA TripleMania XXXII: Mexico City.
