Yes, we don't believe it happened either but Jinder Mahal, with the help of the Bollywood Boys, has become the #1 contender in a six-pack challenge match also involving Sami Zayn, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Mojo Rawley and Dolph Ziggler. The finish saw Mahal scoring the pin over Zayn.

Jinder will now face the WWE Champion (either Bray Wyatt or Randy Orton) at WWE Backlash next month.
