7Mahal Has Momentum Heading Into WWE Hell In A Cell
Shinsuke Nakamura was interviewed by Renee Young to kick off the go-home episode of SmackDown before WWE Hell in a Cell this Sunday. Renee asked about the insults that Jinder Mahal has said about him recently. Nakamura replied “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. Nakamura vowed to win the WWE Championship Sunday at Hell in a Cell.
The Singh Brothers then interrupted and introduced Jinder Mahal and pointed towards the entrance ramp. Mahal attacked Nakmura from behind, but Shinsuke still wound up beating down Mahal. Nakamura geared up for the Kinshasa but Samir and Sunil Singh grabbed his legs. Jinder then booted Nakamura in the face and then planted him with the Khallas.
Later on tonight’s episode of SmackDown, Jinder Mahal was shown backstage. Highlights from Mahal’s attack on Nakamura were shown from the first segment of SmackDown. Jinder said that Shinsuke underestimated his intelligence and that it only took a simple distraction to throw the “rock star” off his game. Mahal said that the same thing is going to happen at Hell in a Cell and that he will still be WWE Champion.
