WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura exchanged heated words to kick off SmackDown LIVE

PROVIDENCE — With The Biggest Event of the Summer just five days away, WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers first had another occasion to celebrate — Indian Independence Day. The Modern-Day Maharaja was welcomed by Bhangra dancers and a woman to sing the Indian National Anthem. The WWE Champion spoke down to the WWE Universe, his opponent tonight, John Cena, and his challenger at SummerSlam, Shinsuke Nakamura.

Before Mahal could get too far into his speech to his people in his native tongue of Punjabi, Nakamura crashed the party and made it very clear to Mahal that there would be no reason to celebrate this Sunday at SummerSlam, as The King of Strong Style would become the new WWE Champion.
