What can we expect when The Game faces The Maharaja?

#3 The Khallas

You cannot talk about India without mentioning Bollywood, in particular, its song and dance sequences. We don't know if this will surprise you, but the name of Jinder Mahal's finisher- 'The Khallas' is derived from a popular Bollywood song.

We had interviewed Mahal shortly after he won the WWE Championship. This is what he revealed about the name of his finisher- 'The Khallas'.

I came up with the name along with the Singh Brothers. The inspiration is actually from a Hindi movie. It’s a song called ‘Khallas’. It just means finish, so it’s fitting. And, it’s easy for our English commentators to pronounce.

The move is actually a Cobra Clutch slam, a classic manoeuvre that kept the title on Jinder Mahal's waist for very many months. Expect to see this finisher executed, when Jinder Mahal comes down to New Delhi.

Will Triple H be able to kick out of this move, that has put away Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura and many others?
