Orton vs Mahal WWE Smackdown

– Following Smackdown this week, there was a dark match main event after 205 Live featuring Randy Orton vs. WWE world champion Jinder Mahal (via WrestlingInc.com). Orton won the match by disqualification after The Singh Brothers interfered. Orton hit Mahal with an RKO and went for the pin, but then The Singh Bros. came in and beat up Orton. Mahal then left up the entrance ramp and left. Orton then managed to make a comeback and stopped the brothers to close the show.

This was Orton’s only appearance last night, since he did not appear on TV. He was in action at Summerslam, beating Rusev in their match after five seconds. You can check out 411mania’s full results and coverage of Summerslam RIGHT HERE.
