Sorry to rain on your parade, Jinder, but this title win is now mired in controversy. Will WWE address this bad call by a referee whose eyesight was likely too impaired to have been officiating in the first place?

Maybe not, but that doesn’t change the fact that Jinder Mahal did not keep The Viper’s shoulders down for a three count.
