WWE India: Jinder Mahal vs The Great Khali

The Great Khali was already a WWE veteran at the time while Jinder Mahal was still a rising star on the roster when they faced each other in a WWE SmackDown segment. The Great Khali manhandled ‘The Modern Day Maharaja’ throughout the fight and Jinder Mahal had very less to offer against The Great Khali’s dominance. Though Jinder Mahal had a lot of opportunities to capitalise on his moments in the fight, The Great Khali did not let him use them as he kept on thrashing Jinder Mahal with heavy shots.

However, Jinder Mahal finally got his moment when he started to maul The Great Khali for a brief period of time, though it was not enough to notch a victory. The fight was initially expected to be a gruelling battle between two Indian wrestlers, but The Great Khali ended the night on a quick note. After mauling Jinder Mahal throughout, The Great Khali finally pinned him down and snatched the victory in front of a packed crowd.
