WWE Backlash 2017: 20 Best Internet Reactions To Jinder Mahal's Win

6. Someone Think Of Sami

It isn't just a matter of what the booking means to Jinder Mahal, or to the Championship itself currently, the issue for a lot of fans is what it means for other stars. Particularly the likes of Sami Zayn, who hasn't got his first main roster win yet. Or Shinsuke Nakamura, who was plonked in the opening match slot...

Or what it means for Andre The Giant's legacy...

Or CM Punk's (assuming this booking endures)...

And consider also what it means for Baron Corbin...

In some ways it's a silly comparison to make, and a reductive one, but it's still happening absolutely all over the place, and it gives ammunition to anyone who wants to devalue WWE's title booking decisions (because the suggestion, of course, is that it devalues those who have won before through proximity)...
