I don't follow the weekly shows much but I don't think I've ever seen Jinder win a match before. Like wasn't he just a jobber for the past year? And from what I've seen, he doesn't appear all that talented on a roster that is booming with talent. I figured this was just a throwaway PPV that they'd give a win to Orton to before setting up a bigger feud.
I get the JBL comparison but I think JBL was much more talented in the ring and on the mic. I could see giving Jinder a US title run where he could do the anti-American gimmick, but hotshotting him to the WWE Championship seems insane. Especially when you see that Smackdown has Orton, Styles, Nakamura, Zayn, and Owens on the roster.
What a weird finish.
