WWE Clash of Champions: 5 potential finishes for AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal
One of the most enticing and interesting things about the AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal feud is that there have been a number of twists and turns, and no clear-cut direction for where they are going. While many believe WWE has moved on from Mahal as champion, the other side is that for a period of six months the Modern Day Maharaja was clearly despised as champion.
For those who have moved on, they are quite pleased and believe that AJ Styles is exactly where he needs to be, and this next match is simply a means of putting this feud behind him and moving on to his next challenge at Royal Rumble.
What will ultimately happen between these two men at the Smackdown Live only pay per view? Who will walk away as the winner? Will Jinder Mahal become the WWE champion for a second time? Here are five potential finishes for the WWE championship match between AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal at Clash of Champions.
#5 AJ Styles wins clean over Jinder Mahal
When AJ Styles defeated Jinder Mahal in front of a capacity crowd prior to Survivor Series, fans were pleasantly surprised. His win couldn't have been anticipated because the initial plan going into Survivor Series was for Mahal to face Brock Lesnar.
Regardless of what the result of such a match would have been, many WWE fans found the prospect of a Mahal/Lesnar match a little underwhelming, while the alternative, with Styles and Lesnar facing each other, certainly generated a reaction.
When Styles eventually hit the Phenomenal Forearm on Mahal, the ovation he received for returning to the top of the mountain as the WWE champion was huge. One possible ending for this match and feud could see Styles defeat Mahal clean, ultimately ending this rivalry and moving on to face someone else, with the next pay per view event being the Royal Rumble.
