The Maharaja called out The Beast!
The Maharaja called out The Beast!

We came back from commentary for a Bludgeon Brothers promo and highlights from Jinder Mahal's tour of India. Mahal spoke about how he got a hero's welcome at home. Mahal had a challenge for Survivor Series.

Based on a request from a little boy, Mahal challenged Brock Lesnar for the pay-per-view. Jinder Mahal looked to slay the legendary beast in Lesnar, but is that a sane choice?

AJ Styles made his way to the ring soon after. AJ challenged Mahal's claims of beating everyone on SmackDown Live. Mahal called Styles not worthy and maintained that in India, nobody would care about AJ Styles.

Styles reminded Mahal that he was in the United States and unleashed a furious assault on the champion. Styles stood tall as Mahal beat a hasty retreat.
