14 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown Live (April 18)

Even Renee Young looked like she couldn't believe what was happening on this week's SmackDown Live.

Former member of 3MB, ex-partner of Rusev, and all-round enhancement talent for those the WWE creative team cares about, Jinder Mahal became the number one contender to Randy Orton's WWE Title by winning a Six-Pack Challenge.

This wouldn't have happened if SmackDown was still pre-taped! Big Vinnie Mac would have sent those boys out there to do it again, likely reeling in disbelief that his writers had penned such nonsense. We'll say it again: Jinder Mahal will face Randy Orton for the WWE Title at Backlash on May 21.

What in the name of Tiger Ali Singh is going on!?

Seriously though, it's not so bad. At least WWE are rewarding Mahal for his hard work (he's in the best shape of his career) and giving a fresh face some main event minutes, but... but did it have to be him!?

Poor Sami Zayn, this move to Tuesday nights really hasn't worked out. WTF, WTF, and indeed WTF again, we're really at a loss for words. Not that you'd notice..

According to WWE, the likes of Tamina, Sin Cara, Primo, Epico, and Jinder Mahal are 'game changing arrivals'.

Exactly what game are we talking about here? WCW Backstage Assault? That's the level we're talking, and big Jinder even has the jagged, muscled edges of a character from that terrible, terrible game.

The folks penning this mush must have skipped Monday Night Raw since last Summer's WWE Draft, because otherwise they'd surely know that around 75% of new arrivals on SmackDown have been working as jobbers.
