During a recent appearance on Maven’s YouTube channel, former WWE Champion Raj Dhesi (Jinder Mahal) discussed the Punjabi Prison Match.
Dhesi revealed that he was once set to participate in the fourth Punjabi Prison Match against Roman Reigns at Money In The Bank 2018 in Chicago, IL. He said,
“This was originally a match designed for The Great Khali, who legitimately in Punjab, was a police officer. This is the third time ever they had a Punjabi Prison. The first time was supposed to be Great Khali and Undertaker. Great Khali couldn’t be in the match and Big Show was a substitute. The second time, Dave Bautista and Great Khali. Third time: myself and Randy Orton. Actually, there was almost a fourth time. It was gonna be myself and Roman Reigns in Chicago.”
Reigns and Jinder Mahal eventually had a regular singles match at the 2018 event which The Big Dog won.
During a recent appearance on Z93…The Rock Station!, Bronson Reed discussed his dream WrestleMania moment.
He said, “I guess my dream WrestleMania moment would be something like the boyhood dream of Shawn Michaels capturing that championship at WrestleMania. I remember watching that as a kid myself and seeing him hold the title and get down onto his knees. That’s what everyone sort of dreams of but maybe I’d do it a little bit different, where I’m a little bit more dominant and maybe I swing that title around my head.”
