10 Things We Learned From WWE SmackDown Live! (May 2)

10. Where The Power Lies

If going blow-for-blow with The Undertaker inside a Cell, being stronger than 95% of your roster for a Survivor Series match and morphing into the wrestling equal of AJ Styles didn't make it clear enough, the opening segment of SmackDown Live! reminded all viewers why Shane McMahon is the toughest person in the world.

Since his sudden six-pack challenge victory propelled him to Number One contender status, Jinder Mahal has been largely untouchable on the main roster. His theft of Randy Orton's WWE Title on last week's show reared its head at the conclusion of the 'House of Horrors' match between 'The Viper' and Bray Wyatt, with 'The Maharaja' flooring the champion to allow 'The Eater of Worlds' to pick up a cheap victory.

Hijacking a company photoshoot to snap him with the 'absconded' strap, Mahal was at his bombastic best until the blue brand commissioner stamped his authority on the Backlash challenger.

Orton wasn't to appear on the evening's broadcast, but Shane stepped in nonetheless, scooping the title back from Jinder with little more than a firm request and a steely glare.

Clearly making up for a lack of Stephanie's b*llockings on Monday Night Raw, it was another senseless McMahon power play that reduced an important main roster member to putty in the boss' hand.
