Multiple reports are emerging stating that during Sunday night's SmackDown LIVE-exclusive WWE Battleground event, a "significant number" of fans left the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the Punjabi Prison Match, which pitted WWE Champion Jinder Mahal against Randy Orton, apparently due to their frustration over how the main event itself was proceeding.

Furthermore, the reports state that the conclusion of the match, which saw the surprise WWE return of The Great Khali, "really took everything out of the crowd as it apparently didn’t go over well with most."
