Jinder Mahal vs. Denzel Dejournette: They lockup and Mahal makes the ropes. Dejournette grounds him with slams, Mahal fights to the ropes and follows with strikes. Dejournette counters back, misses the dropkick and Mahal hits a superkick for 1. Mahal grounds things, chokes him out in the ropes and follows with knee drops. He whips Dejournette to the buckles, and ground the action. Dejournette fires back, eats aback elbow and Mahal follows with kicks and then grounds things again. Mahal whips hi to the buckles and delivers knee drops. The DDT follows for 2. He follows with strikes, and again grounds things. Dejournette counters into a belly to back suplex, follows with strikes and a tackle. The corner splash connects but Mahal cuts him off. The Khallas finishes it. Jinder Mahal defeated Denzel Dejournette @ 6:20 via pin [**] This was an ok extended squash, but very boring. Mahal won as expected, and while Dejournette has a great athletic background, he’s very rough and uneven right now in the ring and needs more reps.
