5 reasons why Jinder Mahal should reclaim the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions
A few years ago, Jinder Mahal was a jobber on Monday Night Raw, now he’s one of the most heavily featured superstars on Tuesday nights. Some don’t think he should be in the position he is in, but regardless of those opinions, Jinder Mahal will be competing for the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions.
The Modern Maharaja evoked his rematch clause especially for this pay-per-view and will challenge the current WWE Champion, 'the Phenomenal' AJ Styles.
AJ Styles is a clear fan favourite and because of that popularity, many are tipping the 'champ that runs the camp' to enter the new year with the belt. But as we all know, the WWE doesn’t always listen to the fans, it goes with whatever makes the most business sense. And as of today, Jinder Mahal is the best option SmackDown Live has, to be WWE Champion.
Here are 5 reasons why Jinder Mahal should win the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions.
#5 Establishes Jinder Mahal as a legitimate main eventer
It doesn’t matter how you do it, it’s just about getting the job done. And for Jinder Mahal, his profile would be incredibly bolstered if he could add another win over AJ Styles to his scalps of Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura. With the Singh Brothers banned from ringside, this is the perfect opportunity for WWE to show the fans how seriously they value Jinder Mahal.
In the past, interference and dodgy finishes have clouded Mahal’s victorious moments. This time, a clean win over AJ Styles would establish the Maharaja as a main event talent in his own right.
AJ Styles has had match of the year contenders with both John Cena and Brock Lesnar, the two biggest stars in the industry today. But the best thing he could do in the year of 2017 is put Jinder Mahal over cleanly in the last PPV of the calendar.
