I'm glad the Jinder nightmare is over but don't get your hopes up for Brock/AJ because it's just gonna be Brock having his match

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

nope, they claimed Buddy Rogers won a tournament in Rio de Janeiro after they seceded from the NWA

No, I checked-- the WWE Championship originates to another fictional tournament in Rio. That was apparently their go-to.

So they kept the belt on Jinder for months and buried great talent for an India tour that now Jinder won't have the title for

Who wants to bet he finally get pegged for roids

Well yeah, but that still doesn't explain why the title switch happens NOW

If Mahal was gonna get the title back just before the tour, why didn't he drop it much earlier on a more invested storyline with Nakamura. The only seeming reason for him to have kept the title over Nakamura was to have the credibiltiy of being a long-holding champion heading into India.

Everything about this reeks of something backstage happening that upset plans

What if the India tour wasn't the point? What if they literally just thought this was the best idea? What if WWE is dumb and bad at story telling?

Nakamura's run has kind of sucked while AJ's has been good.

It's cool that the experiment is over for now, but I kinda wish they had just committed to it since Jinder was honestly getting better at the role when they weren't forcing him to cut racist promos and I'd rather see Jinder lose to Brock than another person I like more, or even better, Brock being humbled by the modern day Maharaja.

Pretty dumb if they swap the title onto Charlotte with no shows left before the PPV.

That's a match they could have actually built up.

Edit: Alexa vs. Charlotte I mean.

If Nakamura's run has sucked why have him go over Cena and Orton to build credibility for his title match?

I don't give a poo poo about the how or why, getting the belt off Jinder is literally the only thing that matters. Smackdown has withered and died with him as champ.

Yeah it's a lot of last minute corrections to get face/heel going.

If it's Charlotte, then I'd expect her to get the win over Alexa since it seems likely the SD women now have to lose with Asuka in the match. I don't see them giving Nattie a win over Alexa though.

The show started with Enzo Amore presenting ‘The Zo Show’ with six UK wrestlers. He introduced each one, it ended with Tyler Bate knocking him out of the ring. Tyler Bate vs Enzo Amore was set for later in the show.
1. Kalisto beat Jack Gallagher.
2. Cedric Alexander and Mark Andrews beat James Drake and Joseph Conners.
3. Enzo beat Tyler Bate clean

I get the distinct impression that Brock is going to Brock Match all AJ, then Jinder will demand his rematch the following Tuesday and Khallas a beat to poo poo AJ in like ten seconds.

"Wrestles real good" is like #10 on Vince's list for what he wants in a wrestler.

Plus, hometown babyfaces don't win in WWE unless they're named Phil Brooks.
