Former WWE Star Reveals Nixed Plans For Stipulation Match With Roman Reigns

Over the years fans have seen some interesting gimmick matches on WWE programming. Some gimmick matches go over well and others don’t work out for various reasons which lead to the gimmick getting dropped. WWE has used the Punjabi Prison match on a few occasions, but the match didn’t seem to be popular among fans or the wrestlers who competed inside the structure.

Recently Jinder Mahal spoke to Chris Van Vliet about the structure on Insight, and he said the Punjabi Prison match was “terrible.” Jinder pointed out how he couldn’t see the crowd reaction due to the two cages and also said that the match was painful. The former WWE Champion then went on to say that there was talk of him facing Roman Reigns inside the structure, but those plans were nixed.

“Actually, I was supposed to possibly have one with Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules. I think we just had a regular straight-up match and it was in Chicago, too. There was talk of the Punjabi Prison match coming back, me and Roman in the Punjabi prison. [And then did he just say I don’t think so?] Yeah, just like Brock [laughs].”

During the interview Jinder Mahal also addressed the rumor that Brock Lesnar refused to work with him heading into Survivor Series in 2017, and you can get more on that here.
