To promote the event, the champion himself, along with his storyline apprentices the Singh Brothers, Sunil Singh and Samir Singh, flew to India to publicize the event.

After being released in 2014, Jinder returned to WWE last year and to everyone's surprise, became the no. 1 contender for Randy Orton's WWE Championship and later that month, the Indo-Canadian became the 50th WWE Champion after defeating the Viper at WWE Backlash.

He also defended the title against Orton at WWE Money in the Bank and WWE Battleground before coming out on top against Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE Summerslam and WWE Hell in a Cell.

In the main event of the Live shows in Delhi, Jinder will take on former Universal champion Kevin Owens for the WWE Championship.
