If you look at my Instagram page I have posted work out videos working on endurance, stuff like sledge, body weight exercises. “I know it is going to be a long gruelling match because it is not only one cage there are two cages,” said Mahal. Talking exclusively to TOI sports, Mahal revealed what all is he doing in preparation for the big match. So, it makes sense for Mahal to open the account for India origin wrestlers in the Punjabi Prison Match at Battleground and go on to retain the WWE title. Great Khali competed in the second-ever Punjabi Prison match but he lost, while the first-ever was between The Undertaker and The Big Show.

And with WWE bringing back the Punjabi Prison match, it validates that Mahal is doing a good job. He has improved his promos, he is killing the menacing ‘Monster Heel’ look, his in-ring exploits have also been on the rise and the Singh Brothers too have done their part well. Credit to Mahal for being an entertaining champion. While Orton seemed to enjoy the home field advantage at Money in the Bank, a loss for The Viper at his hometown did come as a surprise. NEW DELHI: Jinder Mahal would not be amiss to think that for the first time he will walk in to a title defence against the 13-time World champion Randy Orton as favourite when the two superstars collide at the SmackDown Live exclusive pay-per-view, WWE Battleground on July 23.
