5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2017

#3 Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton - Punjabi Prison Match - WWE Battleground 2017

There are many reasons why there have only been three Punjabi Prison matches in WWE history. The ‘bamboo stakes’ that surround the ring so thick that you can barely see what’s happening in the ring, even with the camera operators being as close as possible.

The match has many gimmicks and rules that genuinely don’t make sense, which only makes people confused instead of interested. Finally, the sheer logic of escaping both cages is completely asinine. Mahal escaped through one of the four doors in the inner cage and supposedly had an advantage over Randy Orton.

Yet all Orton had to do was climb over the top of the inner cage and take one step and he was on the outside wall, thus negating everything Mahal had done up to that point. Add to all of this utter nonsense a surprise interference by the Great Khali (for which there was never any follow-up) and you have an utter mess of a main event that did almost nothing to make Jinder Mahal into a believable and interesting champion.
