Becoming champion is half the battle. Staying champion, the other half.
#4 Jinder Mahal

We feel that this week's program has the legs to be drawn out
Jinder Mahal and Bobby Roode both wrestled twice over the course of a two-hour show, this week. Somehow when it was over and done, and Roode held the title aloft, it seemed like their story was only half told. We feel that there could be more to it than we've seen. So yes, the next name in our list is Jinder Mahal.

Mahal has grown leaps and bounds, from the performer that he once was. He has always looked dangerous but is much more confident on the microphone and a far better in-ring specialist. Sure, he's no Dolph Ziggler in the ring, but he can hold his own.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Coupled with the Singh Brothers by his side, he could be the foreign heel out to tarnish the legacy of the United States Championship. Roode embodies many aspects of the classic NWA superstars, and this could feel like a classic, old-school program if it's booked right.
It may give both performers some much-needed momentum.
