Bengaluru, May 19: At this time, the WWE championship will be up for grabs at the upcoming Smackdown-exclusive PPV, Backlash on May 21st. the reigning champion, Randy Orton will defend the title against a rookie opponent, Jinder Mahal.
Although Mahal is getting a big push since WWE is targeting the mainstream audience from India, it is not expected that he will become the new champion at Backlash. The “Maharaja" still does not possess the calibre to be called the prime title holder in the company.
I'm just tired...... After all I've done I have NEVER had a championship match. I was undefeated for a year! Now it's My way or the highway

So, Randy Orton Vs Rusev for the WWE championship is almost guaranteed to happen at the main event of Money in the Bank.The PPV will take place on June 18th at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
The interesting thing would be how the show-runners, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan would entertain the demands made by the heel, Rusev.
As you can see from the given tweets, The Bulgarian Brute is continuing with his pledge. So, this demand should be continued after he returns. The storyline is expected to kick-start on TV from next week onwards.
