However, Mahal, who is a Canadian national, failed to finish the job himself as the Singh Brothers kept intervening throughout the match. 

Orton was hurt on the knee and Mahal took advantage of persistent meddling from Singh Brothers to beat The Viper.

In the process, Mahal became the second wrestler of Indian descent to win a world heavyweight championship.

"I am dangerous, dangerous competitor and @RandyOrton turned his back on me... that's why I'm CHAMPION!", Mahal said in an interview.
