Jinder Mahal Says AJ Styles Was ‘The Better Man For One Night’; Clears Up Injury & Wellness Policy Rumors

November 8, 2017

Jinder Mahal has posted the following to Instagram commenting on losing the WWE World Championship to AJ Styles last night on Smackdown Live:

To @ajstylesp1, you were the better man for one night. Six months I held the #WWEChamoionship, defended it countless times, all over the world. I will one day raise the title again. To my haters and wrestling “insiders”, this was NOT an experiment, I am NOT injured, I have NOT violated the wellness policy. So keep throwing shade my way , it only motivates me.
