WWE Money In The Bank 2017 - 10 Things That Must Happen Tonight!
10. A Win For Jinder Mahal
If the company really is serious about Jinder Mahal and his main event push, they’re going to have to keep the belt on him for some time. Four weeks is far too short a time frame within which to judge whether this 'experiment' can be deemed a success or a failure.
So, based on that thinking, Mahal needs to beat Randy Orton at Money in the Bank this Sunday. Admittedly he could conceivably lose via disqualification and in doing so retain the belt, but with his only match since winning the championship being a four-minute victory over Mojo Rawley, he could do with a major win to his name to really kickstart this title run.
The scalp of successfully retaining against a guy of Orton’s calibre would certainly constitute that major win, and with 13 world titles to his name already, realistically Orton can afford to take the odd defeat here and there.
