WWE's creative team are gonna' have to come up with something more substantial than 'but it's Champ vs. Champ' for Jinder Mahal vs. Brock Lesnar. The match isn't strong enough without some extra spice, a shocking finish or something - anything - to make it feel more than the least exciting Champion vs. Champion match in recent memory.

There's no objective for either man. In Brock's case, beating someone fans don't respect like Jinder won't make him look dominant before WrestleMania 34. For Mahal, a fluke win over Lesnar (probably by way of distraction from the Singh Brothers) wouldn't make him any more credible.

Lesnar and Mahal aren't really feuding over anything and they aren't even on the same show. 12 months on from his exciting tussle with a returning Bill Goldberg at Survivor Series 2016, Brock has been reduced to working the dull-as-dishwater SmackDown vs. Raw gimmick against a random opponent.

That won't do. If WWE's creative team need a little inspiration, then so be it...
