5) Shocking Number One Contender
Jinder Mahal would go on to win the six-pack challenge, making him the number one contender for the WWE Championship.
Yes, you are reading that correct. Jinder Mahal has the chance to win the WWE Title. A truly shocking move by WWE but I have to say, I am interested in seeing where it goes.

Again, Smackdown lives up to its name as the ‘land of opportunity’.
6) New Faction
Jinder had some help winning the match. In case you were wondering who grabbed Sami Zayn’s legs during the match, it was the Bollywood Boyz!
If you are unfamiliar, both of them were competitors in the Cruiserweight Classic tournament this summer. They also have made appearances on NXT and 205 Live. It appears as if they are joining Mahal to form a new faction
