Backstage Update on Jinder Mahal’s WWE Championship Reign and When It’ll End

With The Great Khali at his side, Jinder Mahal recalls his hard-fought victory: July 23, 2017

Last week, SportsKeeda reported that Jinder Mahal’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign will likely be coming to an end soon, and on Monday, Cageside Seats echoed their report, saying that Mahal could lose the title before the end of the summer.

The site notes that Mahal is expected to drop the title at either SummerSlam, or SmackDown’s September pay-per-view. As of this writing, we don’t know who he will drop it to.

The aforementioned SportsKeeda report mentioned that whoever takes the title from Mahal will lose it immediately via a Money in the Bank cash in from Baron Corbin. So, essentially, WWE is going from Jinder Mahal to Baron Corbin, which isn’t an upgrade.
