Jinder Mahal was able to choose the stipulation for his WWE Championship match against Randy Orton at the Battleground Pay-Per-View. Jinder chose to fight Orton inside of a ‘Punjabi Prison’, something that WWE fans haven’t seen in a long time.

So what the hell does it mean? What are the Punjabi Prison rules? We have your answers.
The match features two structures made out of bamboo. The first structure is in similar fashion to a traditional steel cage. The 2nd (and outer) cage is shaped like an octagon and topped with bamboo spikes.
To win the match, you have to escape from both cages. The details get specific (and a bit complicated), so here is a direct quote from WWE.com on how to win:
“The interior structure boasts four doors, each of which is attended by a referee. When a Superstar calls for the door to be opened, they have one minute to walk through it and into the outer structure. If they don’t make it through in time, the door is shut and locked for good. If a Superstar fails to make it through all four of the doors in the allotted time, they must climb out of the inner structure. It makes for good practice, as the only way to escape the outer ring is to climb up and over it. The first Superstar whose feet touches the ground wins the match”

In a nutshell: The first structure you have to escape from a door. If you can’t, you have to climb the cage. The outer structure can only be escaped by climbing out.
