Flipside of this match?

The WWE pay-per-view Survivor Series will focus on the brand rivalry and with Shane McMahon bringing down the SmackDown roster down to RAW attacking the RAW superstars, this stakes for traditional Survivor Series match has been raised.But that doesn’t mean the respective Championships of both brands are taking a backseat. This past week, SmackDown’s WWE Champion Jinder Mahal issued a challenge to face RAW’s Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and the Beast Incarnate accepted the challenge this week.It will be a champion vs champion match up at Survivor Series with Mahal taking on Lesnar. Lesnar’s advocate, Paul Heyman tore in to Mahal with yet another stellar promo calling Mahal, a ‘Make-Believe Maharaja’ and his associates – Singh Brothers, Sunil and Samir ‘Singh-Along Brothers’. Heyman went on to say that Mahal is unworthy of both the WWE Title and the honour of being beaten, victimized and conquered by The Beast.Nevertheless, Mahal has got what he wanted, but has the ‘Maharaja’ bitten off more than he can chew?While the prospect of Mahal being in the same ring as Lesnar goes a long way in proving that Mahal is getting that extended push really well, but how he comes out of the match is a bit of a problem.Lesnar has been booked as the unstoppable beast and Mahal winning this one in not on anybody’s mind. So Mahal losing, just ahead of his much-advertised WWE Live in India, is surely going to hamper his momentum heading in to India. WWE Champion in itself has had a storied history and needs to be protected. Universal Champion defeating WWE Champion will surely devalue the latter.Match quality is another issue. While Mahal has improved vastly in the ring and on the mic, he isn’t over with the fans as of yet. He needs a good match. But he is simply not at the level of Lesnar (in-ring) and Heyman (on mic). With that stellar promo, Heyman has already shredded in to Mahal.And with all his title defences aided by the Singh Brothers, Mahal has not exactly been booked that strong as well. And to pit him against Lesnar, who is coming off a feud with Strowman and Goldberg before that, will only make Mahal look even weaker. Not many can match the intensity of Lesnar in ring and Mahal will have to grind out something special to make this one work.And even if Mahal is booked for a win, that will make Lesnar’s booking so far just plain meaningless.
