Drew McIntyre Vs. Jinder Mahal Announced For WWE SummerSlam
The 3MB bandmates collide
WWE has announced a singles match between Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal for next weekend's SummerSlam pay-per-view.
McIntyre and Mahal have had their run-ins in recent months. At last month's Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Mahal and associates Veer and Shanky attacked McIntyre during the eight-man ladder match, preventing him from being able to win.
From 2012 to 2014, McIntyre and Mahal comprised 3MB with Heath Slater. Both men were released in 2014, before each returning to WWE later in the decade. They both went on to reign as WWE champion.
The current card for WWE SummerSlam, taking place Saturday, August 21 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, is as follows:
* WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. John Cena
* WWE Championship: Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Goldberg
* Raw Women's Championship: Nikki A.S.H. (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley
