• Former WWE Champion Opens Up About His Frustrations With Triple H’s Booking
In an interview with Inside The Ropes, Jinder Mahal spoke openly about the difference between working under Vince McMahon and Triple H, and how it ultimately led to his WWE departure.
Jinder said that during Vince’s tenure, he was consistently booked and featured on television, even if not always in top storylines. “Whether I was WWE Champion or doing the 24/7 stuff, I was always on something,” he said. But when Triple H took over creative, things changed drastically.
“For the first time in my career, I wasn’t being used,” Mahal admitted, revealing that weeks would pass without being booked for TV. While he appreciated still being paid, it was frustrating to sit at home, knowing that inactivity could lead to a release, which it eventually did.
Jinder also confessed he never built the same relationship with Triple H that he had with Vince. Part of that, he said, was his own fault for not pitching enough ideas. Still, when he did, they often went unused.
He revealed he once pitched a “militarized Maharaja” faction with Authors of Pain, complete with tank vignettes and new gear, as well as an earlier pairing with Indus Sher. Neither concept fully materialized.
Looking back, Jinder took the experience in stride, acknowledging that every regime change creates winners and losers. “Some benefited more from Vince, some from Hunter. It’s all part of the business,” he said.
• Omos Introduces His New “OPA” Gimmick
During his conversation with TMZ Sports, WWE giant Omos unveiled a new concept he’s calling the “OPA” – Omos Protection Agency – a character twist that could soon make its way to WWE television.
The idea came after Seth Rollins’ recent injury, when Omos reached out to Becky Lynch on social media and offered to serve as her “heater” or enforcer. Lynch seemed interested, sparking fan speculation about a potential partnership.
Explaining his reasoning, Omos said he wasn’t just looking for a new angle – he wanted to offer something that could “impact people and create longevity.” He said, “I’m not saying I’d just be her heater, but my services are available to anyone who needs protection. That’s what OPA is about.”
Omos described the concept as a blend of business professionalism and wrestling intimidation – a one-man security firm ready to step in when chaos hits. “If Becky or anyone else needs my help, hit my line, and the Omos Protection Agency will be there,” said Omos.
