At WWE SummerSlam, Drew McIntyre will officially face Jinder Mahal in a battle between former 3MB stablemates.
The two former WWE Champions have been feuding in recent weeks on WWE RAW, and the match has been added to the card for the upcoming pay-per-view.
The announcement from WWE’s website is as follows:
The deep-seated rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal is set to boil over at SummerSlam.
The Modern Day Maharaja has set his sights on his old teammate ever since his return to Raw. Mahal and his towering associates Veer & Shanky derailed McIntyre’s attempt to climb the ladder at WWE Money in the Bank. The Scottish Warrior responded by destroying his opponent’s prized motorcycle and turned to his trusted sword when the odds have been stacked against him.
What will happen when the two gladiators bring their long history into the ring?
