#1 Former WWE Champion proposes Punjabi Prison Match

Drew McIntyre has been brutal on WWE RAW lately

Former WWE Champions Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal are currently involved in an intense feud on RAW. The latter recently said that he would like to face The Scottish Warrior in a Punjabi Prison Match. Mahal revealed how The Great Khali came up with the idea and shared lesser-known details about the creative bamboo structure.

"So Great Khali actually designed the match," said Mahal. "He was supposed to be in the first one, he was actually in the second one ever and then I was in the third one and it’s a very vicious, brutal match. The Punjabi Prison is… hopefully, I don’t have to do it too many times in my career because going into the Punjabi Prison, you know you’re not gonna be the same person when you leave.”

“That match takes everything out of you and Great Khali is the creator of the match and then when I was in the Punjabi Prison, Great Khali surprised everyone and made his return, so yeah, hopefully — you know what? I wouldn’t mind having Drew [McIntyre] in the Punjabi Prison," concluded Mahal.

Drew McIntyre cannot get another shot at the WWE Championship as long as it rests on Bobby Lashley’s shoulders. Mahal cost him the last opportunity at Money in the Bank, and things have been ruthless ever since. McIntyre’s recent attack on Shanky with steel chairs had the entire WWE Universe talking for days, and now his entire attention is fixated on The Modern Day Maharaja.
