In the Arena:
It’s time for the anticipated return of a former champion and he is… Jinder Mahal!
Jinder tells the crowd they have the audacity to be disappointed at his return. He says he is a once and future WWE Champion. Thousands have competed in this ring and fifty were WWE Champions. The only thing disappointing is what has become of the once great nation of the United States. This does not look united. You people have never been more divided. Ignorance and misinformation. Jinder says this country was a super power and now it is a joke. Jinder says he is a unifier. He tells everyone to shut up and listen.
Jinder speaks in Punjabi. He says finally, all of you are united. You booed your own national anthem in Punjabi. He says that is a new low. You boo him because he looks different and speaks different. Unlike the Iron Sheik and others who have exposed the US, he speaks with intelligence and class. Jinder says he speaks the truth. Jinder says he will speak in Punjabi about what the world thinks about him.
IF YOU SMEEEELLL… The Rock interrupts.
Rock says that Jinder is in trouble tonight. First, he wants to say that Jinder is right about one thing. You are not the Iron Sheik because he knows and loved the Iron Sheik. Rock plays the role of Iron Sheik if he was here tonight to insult Jinder.
Jinder says Rock magically appears when the WWE Universe is being insulted. He says Rock is the champion to you jingoistic people. Jinder says he would be ashamed of himself and disgusted if he represented these people.
Rock says he is not ashamed. He says he is damn proud to be the People’s champion. Rock says he is proud to be an American. Rock says FINALLY, he has come back to San Diego. Rock says the people are not booing Jinder because of how he looks or talks or that he speaks Punjabi.
Rock looks up for guidance from Sheik and he says he Jinder is the biggest asshole walking God’s green Earth. Rock says that angry face is what we are familiar with. We are used to resting bitch face. This is raging asshole face. He asks Jinder why is he angry all the time. It has to be because no one likes you and you aren’t funny. If you were one of Rock’s movies, you would be Baywatch.
Jinder says he didn’t watch Baywatch and Rock says not to interrupt him and no one watched it. Rock asks again and Rock throws out the IT DOESN’T MATTER. Rock says this country isn’t a joke to him, the people in the building, or everyone watching at home.
Rock says it isn’t a joke that you can run this country down without consequences. You can’t come out in the people’s ring with the People’s champion in the building and get away with no consequences. You might be the Modern Day Maharaja. Now you are the Day One Douchebag. You say you are the unifier, but Rock will show everyone what a unifier does. He says one side will say Day One. The other side will say douchebag.
It slows down and Rock says that was fun. He says if Jinder loves the National Anthem so much, he will sing a verse for you Jinder.
