Jinder Mahal & Shinsuke Nakamura In-Ring Segment: 

America has nothing to celebrate, but today is Independence Day for the greatest nation on earth, the great nation of India. Jinder’s strength and pride comes from his people. Not only do they celebrate their independence, but they celebrate the reign of the greatest WWE Champion of all time. What better way to celebrate than with a traditional Indian dance performance? The jingoistic and xenophobic people of Providence will not appreciate this, but Jinder wants everyone to get on their feet and stand for the Indian National Anthem

The WWE Universe can expect Jinder to beat John Cena later tonight. For years, John Cena put this company on his shoulders, but Jinder is the man now. People are subscribing to the WWE Network to see him. At SummerSlam, Jinder will show Nakamura that his destiny is to lose to Jinder Mahal. Mahal would like to address his people in Punjabi. Shinsuke Nakamura comes out to interrupt Jinder.  Why is Nakamura disrespecting Jinder’s people on Independence Day? Today in Japan, it’s the day Nakamura’s people commemorate those who have died in war and pray for peace. This Sunday, in America it’s SummerSlam. It will be the day Jinder loses the WWE Title to Nakamura.
