Jinder Mahal has his WrestleMania moment.
Last year, Jinder Mahal lost the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and now he won the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 34. The fatal four way match consisted of Mahal, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, and Rusev. Mahal pinned Rusev who was a late addition to the match to win Orton's championship.
The following is an excerpt from the Fightful Wrestling live coverage of WrestleMania 34 provided by David Tees.
Orton sets up for an RKO and he hits an interfering English with one, Orton then hits Rusev and Mahal with RKO’s for a near fall. Roode then throws Rusev out of the ring, Roode nails Orton with a Glorious DDT for a near fall as Mahal interferes.
Rusev then nails Roode with a kick to the head, Mahal catches Rusev in a roll up before eating a kick to the head. Rusev applies the Accolade and Singh interferes, Mahal catches Rusev with his finisher from out of nowhere for the three count.
Winner: Jinder Mahal, your new WWE United States Champion
