Jinder Mahal earns WWE Title shot
During tonight’s episode of Smackdown Live from Louisville, Jinder Mahal won a Six Pack Challenge over Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Mojo Rawley to become the new No. 1 Contender for the WWE Championship.
Mahal got the win with help from The Bollywood Boyz who distracted Sami Zayn at ringside. It was revealed that Mahal will challenge either Randy Orton or Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championship at the Backlash PPV on May 21.
