New Delhi, Nov 8: In a shocking turn of events, last night’s Smackdown Live witnessed a huge championship change in the main event of the show.

As per the confirmation made by Shane McMahon, Jinder Mahal was forced to defend the WWE Championship against AJ Styles. This came up as a repercussion for what Jinder did to Styles, last week. By help from the Singh Brothers, a brutal assault was delivered.

So, The Phenomenal One vowed to take the championship away from the Modern-day Maharaja that made his run in the company, relevant. From the get-going, he was in an offensive mode to Jinder Mahal who was unable to match up with the fast pace of Styles.

Jinder tried to fire back and get the win with a Khallas but Styles managed to kick off and set him up for a phenomenal fore-arm. He hit it successfully to pin Jinder in the middle of the ring and become the new WWE Champion. This put an end to the incredible title reign of the India-native that stretched over 150 days.
