#2 To prove his reign wasn’t a publicity stunt

The fact of the matter is, many fans disregarded Jinder Mahal’s title run because they felt it was a publicity stunt. They felt the WWE only placed the belt on the 31-year-old to build up steam before the WWE India tour. A tour which needed the return of Triple H to help bolster its profile.
In fact, a month before the tour, Jinder was sent on a press run across the country, adding more fuel to the fire. Things took a turn for the worse when a few week later, he was defeated by AJ Styles for the championship.
Such a series of events only points towards the WWE using Mahal’s heritage as an advertising tool. For such speculation to be discarded, the Modern Day Maharaja must reclaim his WWE Championship at Clash of Champions.
