With this move, it is quite clear that WWE is pulling all the stops to grab the Indian market. As part of their program, the Indian-origin superstar, Jinder Mahal got a huge push, this month and will receive an opportunity to the WWE championship, later this month. He will face Randy Orton at the Backlash PPV on May 21.

The New Day, on the other hand, is out of WWE television for quite sometimes. So, what better way to utilize the most entertaining faction in the history of the WWE in the biggest platform available, right now? It's quite evident WWE lovers would be glued to the screen to witness what antics they might come up with.

It will also be interesting to see what take they have on the game of Cricket which is still underrated in the United States.

But, we all know that the Unicorns have some opinions for almost all the trending topics. So, they should surprise us with their knowledge on this one which for them is a bigger version of baseball.
