Jinder Mahal explains how WWE secretly sneaks wrestlers under the rings during events
“When we’re in a commercial break [or] maybe when there is a video package playing, all the lights in the arena go dark,” Mahal said. “Throughout the night the ring crew is coming out to change something. Generally, you can sneak under there without anybody noticing. I’ve done that a bunch of times.”
“Underneath the ring, it’s called a bed. There’s a little mat there, and there is a gentleman by the name of Nick Daw who is under there with a monitor. They have got water bottles down there, they’ve got Diet Cokes, Red Bulls. So you have your bed, you’ve got your monitor, and Nick actually has a headset to the producers.” (h/t Cultaholic)
The long-time WWE performer was released from the company in April of last year. He has been performing on the independent scene since and he recently won the AAA tag team titles with AEW wrestler Satnam Singh.
