8 Things That Must Happen At WWE Battleground 2017
8. Change The Punjabi Prison Match Rules
The Punjabi Prison has 'graced' WWE pay-per-views twice before, both times resulting in terrible, disjointed matches hindered by an obstructive stipulation (both physically and rules-wise).
Not much can really be done about the visually garish nature of the prison itself. An obscured view of the ring seems part and parcel of the stipulation, and not something WWE can easily work around. Of course, they could simply have booked a different match...
However, the match can be improved by altering its nonsensical rules. The door system of the Punjabi Prison makes little sense; each of the inner cage's four doors can be opened just once for a limited amount of time, in theory leaving one superstar trapped inside, forced to climb over the tricky fence.
This opens the door (pun not intended) for all sorts of logical inconsistencies. Once one wrestler escapes, can't his opponent simply choose an unopened door to escape from?
The match would be somewhat saved if WWE reduced the number of doors to just one. Then at least both Orton and Jinder will be fighting over the sole easy method of escape, leaving the other to traverse the tricky fence - a far simpler dynamic.
