WWE SummerSlam 2017: Best Booking Scenarios For Each Match

Put down the pitchforks and torches, internet.

Let it be known that this should in no way be a clean victory. Or even a victory at all. The best case scenario here is the champion getting himself purposefully disqualified in order to avoid a Kinshasa.

There are a number of reasons for this. First of all, there has been minimal build-up for this. As much as we'd all like to see Mahal relieved of his championship, the payoff could be so much better.

Also, there is a 0% chance that this will be the main event. Shinsuke's coronation should be for a PPV where it can be the biggest news of the night.

From a business standpoint, Jinder needs to not be hindered for a little while longer. WWE's India tour is fast approaching, and taking the title off of your Indian champion right before that happens is a bad sales move. Mahal touring with the WWE title could bring in some sorely needed revenue for the company.

WWE needs to be careful not to rush Nakamura into a title reign too quickly. Even the most popular wrestlers launched immediately to the front of the line can face backlash. Remember how popular Roman Reigns was during the Shield days? Remember how hated Kurt Angle was after he became WWE Champion?

Nakamura's time will come, but in the words of Juba from the movie Gladiator: "Not yet."
