It is unknown when Mahal will get his guaranteed rematch, after losing the Championship to Styles on the recent “Smackdown Live” in Manchester, England.

Editor’s Opinion:

There must be a long-term reason for this. While the match between Styles and Lesnar at “Survivor Series” was amazing, I’m still of the opinion that Mahal should not have lost the WWE Championship. He had great momentum going, and would have been able to put a great match on with “The Beast.” That being said, I do believe that the “Modern Day Maharaja” will be champion again, and I can’t wait for that day!
