#1 We have a brand new WWE Champion

This is the image that shocked the whole world!

At Backlash, there were no title changes, except for one. Unfortunately for his detractors, and fortunately for his fans, it was the one title change that mattered most. Jinder Mahal upset WWE Champion Randy Orton and claimed the title from ‘The Viper’ at the pay-per-view event.

There has been much speculation about the reason for Jinder Mahal’s unexpected victory. Some claim that it is to consolidate WWE's hold in the Indian market, while others argue that it is to make the product unpredictable and garner instant social media buzz. Whatever, the reason may be, we have to tune in and find out if this decision pays dividends for the company in the long run. Until then, Jinder Mahal is your reigning and defending WWE Champion.
