We return to see The Singh Brothers introduce the WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal. You might not like him, but you can’t deny that Jinder looks like a Champion.
All hail your #ModernDayMaharaja and @WWE Champion @JinderMahal! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/TV5m4FmO4Q

Jinder tells the fans to stand-up and show respect to the WWE Champion. Jinder says that Randy is scared of letting down his hometown and disappointing his family. Apparently Cowboy Bob Orton will be in the front row this Sunday. Jinder says that Randy isn’t out here because he fears the modern-day Maharajah.
Mahal says Randy has been hiding like de-fanged garden snake. He says he will break Randy’s legacy piece-by-piece until there is nothing left of the Orton name. He says the sun has set on Orton’s time and a new era has begun. From here Jinder talks in Punjabi.
Orton’s music hits and Jinder sends the brothers out of the ring to meet him on the ramp…but Randy comes from behind and RKO’s the Champion! From out of nowhere you might say. Orton slithers back out of the ring as the brothers come to the aid of Jinder. Randy leaves through the crowd and poses.
Out. Of. NOWHERE! #SDLive #RKO @RandyOrton pic.twitter.com/afDRQy35PQ

Backstage we see Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler getting ready for their match. Kevin Owens walks in and they stand up. Owens says he doesn’t like either of them but tonight they have two options: work as a team and take out the other three tonight and make it easier for them this Sunday. Or they can all fight each other and give the other guys an easy route to the briefcase on Sunday. It’s up to them.
