Jinder Mahal has had to do a lot of convincing to prove he’s a believable WWE champion, and it hasn’t helped that the two holders of SmackDown’s secondary title during his reign have been Kevin Owens and AJ Styles.

KO and AJ are Superstars whose rivalries should be main-eventing PPVs, never mind weekly SmackDown shows, and their feud this year - first with each other and then with Shane McMahon - has been overshadowing Jinder’s storylines.
