I fully support Big E being champion. He has the looks, the charisma and the talent.
I have this theory that Jinder being champion is WWE trying to make sure everyone "knows" RAW is the superior brand. I remember all the talk about Smackdown being the A show over RAW so I assume that is a common sentiment in the IWC. At the time, Jinder was on RAW, nobody liked him, and he was jobbing like Jinder does. Then suddenly he gets traded to Smackdown and wins the title within a few weeks and becomes unstoppable. The simple breakdown ends up being RAW jobber is better than everyone on Smackdown, RAW is clearly the superior product!
Obviously it had something to do with them trying to push into the Indian market as well, but I honestly think a lot of it was to make Smackdown look weaker than RAW.
