Similarly, Jinder Mahal really didn't need to be losing the WWE Title so quickly after winning it. If there's one thing that title needs right now, it's stability after the confusing mess between Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton that only succeeded in making Wyatt look like a colossal loser. WWE couldn't make the same mistake twice with Jinder.

The Singh Brothers sacrificing themselves to save his reign is working right now and provides the added bonus of Orton having an excuse for coming up just short, so there was no need to change anything. Now, Mahal can focus on his next challenge, one that's likely to come from John Cena in time for Battleground.

Or, if WWE want to save that match for SummerSlam (which is plausible), they could maybe squeeze another match out of Mahal vs. Orton. There would need to be some kind of stipulation though, because they've had two straight pay-per-view singles bouts.

Time to ban the Singhs from ringside?
