NEW DELHI: When Randy Orton was climbing the second structure of the Punjabi Prison, during his WWE Battleground duel with WWE champion Jinder Mahal for the title in the main event, he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of the 7’1” monster the Great Khali walking down the ramp to stop him.While Orton had said earlier that Mahal is a fool to have chosen to lock himself up with The Viper in a cage, the 13-time the world champion was bitterly reminded about the Singh brothers, who hid under the ring and stopped Orton from fleeing the ‘Prison’.Yet, that was only part of the plan to make the main event exciting. When Orton was done with the brothers - props to Samir Singh for taking a 15-foot bump on to the announcers’ desk - in came Mahal’s master plan, The Great Khali who, with the Vice Grip, held on to Orton allowing Mahal to make his way over the second structure and retain the title.“We have a long history, we go back a long way. He was the first person I contact after announcing the Punjabi Prison Match. He invented this match so I went up to him for advice, for game plan and asked him to be in my corner so that I can walk out as champion,” Mahal said of the shock return of his role model to the WWE.“I have a great relationship with Khali. He is like an older brother. He was my role model in WWE; he was a great champion and put India on the map and I want to do the same and hopefully he was happy with my performance in the match,” added Mahal.Talking to TOI Sports, Mahal said: “I have beaten Randy Orton three times now and it felt great to beat him again. I had said I will put to rest Orton’s legacy and I have done that. I will be the greatest WWE Champion ever”.On being asked about the next challenger, Mahal sounded confident on taking on any one. “Bring me anyone; be it Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, Baron Corbin, I will beat all of them. I want to face Cena and beat him; Even if it is Universal champion Brock Lesnar . If he wants to step forward, I will face him. I always have a plan and I will always walk out as champion.”“Going against Brock Lesnar will be a dream match for me and I would love to defeat him and show to the WWE Universe that why the WWE championship and why SmackDown Live is superior,” proclaimed the 31-year-old.When Khali made his way to the ring, the crowd along with Orton were in shock and Mahal said that is what he wanted. “I wanted to shock Randy Orton, shock the WWE universe. Randy thought I was a fool to be locked inside a cage with him, but I made him look like a fool.”Talking about the match itself, Mahal said the Punjabi Prison match was gruelling. “The Punjabi prison match is nothing short of gruelling. Randy was throwing me in to the cage and I was throwing him into the cage and it was not budging, said Mahal.With this win, it is almost certain that Mahal will walk in to Summerslam, which is less than a month away, as champion. He hopes to create a special at the biggest PPV of the summer. “Going in to Summerslam is definitely a validation (WWE’s trust). But my goals are higher and I want to main event Wrestlemania. It will be special to have a moment of my own and to represent India in great way and walking away as champion.”
