On the latest episode of SmackDown, Braun Strowman destroyed former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal on his TV return in less than five minutes.

Before tonight, the Modern Day Maharaja's last match was on the July 22, 2022, episode of SmackDown. On Friday, Jinder Mahal made his intentions clear about winning the World Cup. The winner will also receive a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.

Braun Strowman entered the arena on his theme song, but Mahal wasted no time putting down the star. The latter ambushed his opponent with a clothesline from behind while entering the ring, even before the bell rang.

The former WWE Champion had the upper hand on Braun in the match's early stages. However, he could not keep the big man off his feet.

Strowman sent The Modern Day Maharaja to the floor for a massive Strowman Express maneuver. After a splash in the corner, the latter hit Mahal with a Monster Bomb and advanced to the semi-finals of the SmackDown World Cup.

At Crown Jewel, The Monster of All Monsters defeated Omos after a hard-hitting match. It seems that Strowman now has his eyes set on the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
