#1 Former WWE star Sin Cara comments on the backstage reaction to Jinder Mahal's world title victory

At Backlash 2017, Jinder Mahal surprised audiences by defeating Randy Orton to become the WWE Champion. Mahal's world title victory is undoubtedly one of the most unexpected moments from the previous decade.

Cinta de Oro (WWE's Sin Cara) recently appeared on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted. During his chat with Dr. Chris Featherstone, he highlighted how it is always "amazing" to witness the story of an underdog's rise to the top:

"It's always an amazing story when you see the underdog, someone you never would expect to get to the top, like Jinder, like Drew, like Kofi Kingston," said Cinta de Oro. "Those stories are amazing of guys persevering. Because he left the company and he came back. And he performed in a way that the company wanted him to be the top guy."

As per the former Sin Cara, many stars in the locker room were quite supportive of Jinder Mahal's WWE Championship win in 2017:

"Jinder is a very nice guy also," Cinta added. "I can't say nothing bad about him. He worked really hard to get his physique better to that level that he wanted. So, it was an awesome feeling for a lot of us. The reaction was great."
