5 takeaways from this week's SmackDown Live: October 24, 2017

#2 Styles vs Mahal is on the cards. But when?

Brock or AJ?

AJ Styles, who has assumed the role of a workhorse in WWE off late, continued his feud with Jinder Mahal this week on SmackDown. He was up against Sunil Singh, one half of the Singh Brothers and defeated him in less than a minute.

Styles seems ready to challenge the "Modern Day Maharaja" for the WWE Championship soon, but with Survivor Series nearing, this feud currently makes little sense. Jinder Mahal has to juggle between Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles, which is a confusing decision on WWE's part.

Styles' confrontation with Mahal looks to be a filler feud while Mahal challenges the Beast, and this is a puzzling choice for WWE. Styles is a top superstar in the company and should be having a full blown out feud instead of being a side character in a bigger story.
