I like how Smackdown is booked kind of like a indy promotion. Its a good one off program that buys Nakamura time to get used to the main roster befor throwing him into the main event. Smackdown is stacked at the top and this builds up the weak mid card they have so it makes sense. With the US title having the former Universal and WWE champions fighting over it beefing up the mid card is definitely needed.
Mahal being in the main event at Backlash is fine with me and I hope he has a good showing. I dont expect him to win but the match should be used to legitimize Jinder to the point where him being #1 contender or the US champ doesnt feel like a joke. Him winning though would be a huge shocker but I wouldn't be against it if he can pull off the evil foreigner gimmick.
