On Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton’s non-title grudge match tonight:

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton will collide tonight on SmackDown LIVE in a non-title grudge match. The rivalry between the two Superstars had been largely silent since their last meeting at WWE Battleground, when The Modern-Day Maharaja escaped the Punjabi Prison to retain his title, thanks to an assist from The Great Khali, who held Orton inside the massive structure.

Many thought their rivalry would be put on the back burner with both men focusing on separate matches at SummerSlam — Orton with Rusev and Mahal defending his title against Shinsuke Nakamura. These fierce rivals will clash again on SmackDown LIVE, however. Will the score be settled, or will one of the most intense rivalries in WWE continue on? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

WrestleZone will have the latest episode of Smackdown Rebellion available later tonight following Smackdown Live and Talking Smack. It will be released via former WCW President Eric Bischoff’s IRWNetwork.com
