5 Reasons why Jinder Mahal becoming the number one contender is a mistake

#3 It sets up a meaningless title match at Backlash

Jinder....already an afterthought.

I know that I might be jumping the gun saying this but Jinder is not beating Randy Orton for the title at Backlash. He doesn’t have enough fan support or heat to win the title, so it provides the crowd with a foregone conclusion: Jinder is wasting our time before Orton moves onto more meaningful feuds.

And to do that match in Chicago? What a brutal option. They will not support Mahal and that puts him on the wrong foot going forward after Backlash. It is a big mistake and even Jinder deserves better than that crowd.
