5 best opponents for Jinder Mahal before Royal Rumble

#3 Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode matches up well against Jinder Mahal

If you’ve happened to follow a certain TNA Tag Team known as ‘Beer Money’ you’d know how great Roode is with the mic.

Roode went over Dolph Ziggler at HIAC and is now rooted at the very top of the SmackDown pecking order. Given the Glorious One’s cutting-edge verbal tirades and veteran savvy on the mat, he’d make the perfect foil to the Maharaja’s reign as WWE Champion.

Granted that Mahal isn’t dropping the belt anytime sooner than Rumble, however, if there’s anyone on the blue brand’s roster who can bring the fight to the Champ; enthralling and bedazzling the fans, teasing a potential upset, it’s Bobby Roode.
