When it comes to implausible WWE Title wins, Jinder Mahal may have eclipsed even JBL. In just over a month, "The Maharaja" went from an afterthought to number one contender to the holder of the top title in the entire company. Now, he'll face his first test as WWE Champion when he defends the belt against the former champ, Randy Orton.

At this point, the Jinder Mahal experiment hasn't even gotten started - and say what you will about the champion, but he's a lot fresher than Randy Orton. There's absolutely no chance that the title is being switched back on Sunday - if it was, what would have been the point of putting it on Mahal in the first place?

It's been rumored that John Cena - who's scheduled to return in July - will be Mahal's foe down the line, challenging him for the belt at SummerSlam. Whether that happens or not, though, Mahal will still be champion after his feud with Orton is over.
