#2 Punjabi pageantry on display...

A colourful Punjabi celebration welcomed new WWE Champion Jinder Mahal to Smackdown this week...

The rise of Jinder Mahal came out of nowhere (just like an RKO), but the impact has been great. Mahal would be welcomed to SmackDown Live this week with a Punjabi championship celebration. The colourful celebration included several dancers and a drummer to start followed by the Singh Brothers and then Jinder Mahal.

Jinder would deliver a promo driving home that 1.3 billion people are celebrating the fact that he is now WWE Champion, the people of India. His first defence of the title will be against Randy Orton at Money In The Bank on June 18^th.
