WWE Backlash took over Chicago on Sunday night and there was a lot of hype surrounding the WWE Championship match. Fans couldn’t believe it when Jinder Mahal earned a WWE Title shot a few weeks ago, and they were even more shocked when Jinder defeated Randy Orton on Sunday night to become the new champion.

That’s right folks, don’t hinder Jinder, because he’s the new WWE Champion. Jinder pulled off a huge victory at Backlash and everyone is talking about the fact that he’s now holding the most prestigious title in the company.
Wrestling fans have been voicing their opinions on social media, and the reactions seem to be mixed as some people are happy about the title win, and others aren’t so thrilled.
Jinder Mahal’s peers seem to be having a very different reaction to his title win, as most people that know Jinder, or have worked with him seem to be very happy for the Maharaja.
Wrestling stars from the WWE and beyond have taken to Twitter to congratulate Jinder Mahal on his big WWE Championship win, and you can check out some of the reactions below.
