The hot topic this week is Jinder Mahal becoming the No. 1 contender for the WWE Title shot at Backlash. AJ Styles will be challenging Kevin Owens for the United States Title at the pey-per-view as well. Both men will be tied up for at least the next month, but that is all part of the plan.

It’s being reported by CageSideSeats that WWE officials are still planning for Orton vs. Styles to be a huge feud for SmackDown over the summer. Everything that is happening now with Jinder Mahal, AJ in the US Title hunt, and the rest is all just a holdover until their feud begins.
