SKFabe: Hottest WWE news of the week (14th October, 2017)

#2 The Maharaja's Indian opponent has been announced

Imagine the kind of battle Mahal and Owens could have!

"The Modern Day Maharaja", Jinder Mahal is currently on a tour of India, to publicise the historic live events set to take place on the 8th and 9th of December in New Delhi.

During his trip, he was live on the official WWE Facebook page, and announced that his opponent for India would be none other than the dastardly heel, Kevin Owens.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Expectedly, this pretty much proves that while he may be a heel in the United States, he's coming to India as the babyface.

The other news that he announced was that this is the first time that an Indian Superstar would be coming to the country as the WWE Champion.

Is this an indication that Mahal will retain the championship until December? We suspect so!
