5) The Numbers Game Pays Off For Jinder
This week on Smackdown Live, we really got to see the numbers game pay off for Jinder Mahal. The Singh Brothers helped cause a distraction on Sami Zayn, allowing Jinder to win the match.
Last week the three of them stole the WWE Championship from Randy Orton. This week, they help him win against Sami. The WWE is slowly building this trio into something dangerous.

I can’t lie, I have been enjoying the storyline so far and am looking forward to seeing where it goes next. I know some hate Jinder getting a title shot, but let’s give it a chance.
6) New Brand, Same Situation For Sami Zayn
Many fans were excited about Sami Zayn coming to Smackdown Live, which is also known as ‘the land of opportunity’. Zayn was finally moved to the brand during the ‘Superstar Shake-Up’.
So far on the blue brand, he is essentially in the same role as he was before on RAW. New brand and not much has changed with his booking:

@dja1130 @WWE @JinderMahal @iLikeSamiZayn @SinghBrosWWE “Move Sami to Smackdown” they said, “He’ll be treated better” they said. Ya played yourselves! ?

“Sami Zayn would do so much better on SmackDown!”
*Sami goes to SD and loses all the time*
That worked out great didn’t it. #SDLive— Bubba (@_big_bad_bubba_) May 3, 2017
Some forget that the same man is still in charge of both RAW and Smackdown Live… Vince McMahon.
