On who will step up to Jinder Mahal as his next challenger:

That Jinder Mahal will do anything to keep the WWE Championship is no surprise. What did shock the WWE Universe at WWE Battleground last Sunday, however, is the Punjabi behemoth who appeared in The Modern Day Maharaja’s corner, ready to help him hang onto that title.

With The Singh Brothers neutralized and Mahal reeling, Randy Orton looked to be on the verge of his 14th World Championship, until the monstrous Great Khali suddenly arrived. The 7-foot tall, 350-pound giant took matters into his own hands, grabbing Orton by the neck and keeping The Viper trapped in the bamboo cage while Mahal escaped the Punjabi Prison to retain his title.

It appears that The Great Khali’s shocking interference represented a passing of the torch to Mahal, whose third consecutive victory over Orton is now in the books. How will The Modern Day Maharaja’s reign continue? Will a new challenger step up, or will a venomous Viper be out for vengeance?

On whether AJ Styles will try to regain his US Championship:

WWE Battleground had more than its share of controversy, including the United States Championship battle between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens. In managing to reverse a submission hold by The Phenomenal One, KO scored a surprise three-count to reclaim his title and, perhaps, the right to once again call himself The New Face of America.

How will the next chapter in this heated rivalry be written on SmackDown LIVE?
