There hasn't been a Punjabi Prison match in WWE in 10 years, but that all changes next month at Battleground.

During tonight's instalment of Smackdown Live, Randy Orton came out to the ring and demanded another WWE Championship rematch against Jinder Mahal. Shane McMahon acquiesced, but on one condition: the champ gets to choose the stipulation. This brought out the Modern Day Marahajah, who announced that he would face The Viper in a Punjabi Prison Match.

This will only be the third match of its type in WWE history. The Big Show faced The Undertaker in the first one at Great American Bash in 2006, and Batista defeated The Great Khali at No Mercy 2007. Khali was originally supposed to face The Dead Man in the first bout but was suspended at the time.

WWE Battleground is set for July 23.
