WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and the Singh brothers kick off the show inside of the Punjabi Prison. Mahal promises that this structure will be the place where Randy Orton’s legacy dies. He turns things over to the Singh brothers to explain the rules of the match. There are four doors that a referee will open when prompted by one of the competitors, but they will only remain open for 60 seconds at a time. The crowd chants for Randy, and Jinder claims he’s going to hit him with the Khallas from on top of the Punjabi Prison. That seems likely…
The Viper eventually interrupts their speech and can’t believe that Jinder is willingly locking himself inside of a cage with him, as it means there will be no escape and no interference. Orton says he has nothing to lose, because his title has been taken from him and his family was put in harms way. He begins to climb the structure while talking about everything Mahal has to lose, from being the 50th WWE Champion in history, to over a billion people viewing him as a complete disgrace. Orton reaches the top of the Prison and says this will be his view when he takes his title back and leaves Jinder’s “jacked up ass” for dead in the middle of the ring.
Still to come tonight, Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles team up to take on Kevin Owens and Baron Corbin. One member of the New Day will also be in action against a member of The Usos as well. John Cena will also announce that Darren Young has actually been his son this entire time.
