#2 Jinder Mahal could win the title at Backlash depending on fan reaction
The Rumour: WWE is not planning to make Jinder Mahal the WWE Champion as per the rumours on Cageside Seats. This plan, however, could change depending on the reaction from the fans.
The Potential: Jinder Mahal winning the title from Orton was never considered to be a significant possibility. It will take a massive paradigm shift for Vince McMahon to put the gold around the Maharaja’s waist.
The Fallout: One has to give Mahal credit for his performance so far in the storyline. If he leaves Chicago with the WWE Championship, it will be one of the biggest upsets in professional wrestling history. It will be interesting to see if WWE will take such a bold decision.
