Seth Rollins is on a roll. After winning the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania, he has successfully defended it against the likes of Miz, Finn Balor, Mojo Rawley, and Kevin Owens. Moreover, he has successfully retained the title across four continents.

These two did face each other before for the NXT Championship. Seth Rollins won that match and became the first ever NXT Champion. However, Jinder has evolved a lot since then.

Can he retain his Intercontinental Championship against Jinder Mahal? Here are five possible finishes for Seth Rollins vs Jinder Mahal.

#5 Roman Reigns disqualifies Seth Rollins

Roman Reigns can give Jinder Mahal a beat-down in the middle of the match disqualifying Seth Rollins

Last week on Raw, Seth Rollins came to the aid of Roman Reigns after being ambushed by Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal.

As a result, a tag team match was announced between Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal versus Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. The Shield members picked up the win but Jinder hit them with a steel chair later on.

This whole sequence should be fresh in the minds of the Big Dog. So, don't be surprised if you see him at Seth Rollins' corner. Roman Reigns does help Seth Rollins retain his championship but not in a manner he wants.

Sensing a Jinder Mahal victory due to interference (we will talk about that later), he takes out Jinder in front of the referee.

The referee disqualifies Seth Rollins but he retains his championship. A guy like Seth Rollins will detest this now (never in the past), and this sows the seed for a Shield breakup.

#4 Jinder Mahal wins with help from Sunil Singh

Sunil Singh can distract the referee allowing Jinder Mahal to pick up the win

Let's admit it! WWE's way of booking Jinder Mahal is totally unpredictable. No one saw him winning the WWE Championship and the United States Championship and losing it. So, how can we take out the possibility of him winning the Intercontinental title away?

Well, in none of them had he won the title cleanly. So, if he wins the title again, it has got to be with the help of Sunil Singh.

How does it happen? Come on! This isn't something to be explained. It is the natural way of a heel winning it to maintain the credibility of the babyface.

Sunil Singh can cause a much-needed distraction which allows Seth Rollins to go after him. Jinder Mahal catches his shoulder from behind and hits him with the Khallas.

#3 Dean Ambrose helps/causes Seth Rollins to win/lose

Dean Ambrose might turn his back on his Shield brother

Dean Ambrose was injured by Sheamus, Cesaro, and Samoa Joe way back in December last year. Since then, we have been hearing various rumors surrounding his return. Some of them said he would return at WrestleMania, the Raw after WrestleMania, and at the Greatest Royal Rumble.

However, WWE could pull the trigger tonight and give the Richmond fans a surprise. The Lunatic Fringe returns and causes a distraction allowing Seth Rollins to hit the Curb Stomp. While Seth Rollins doesn't need his help, a mini-Shield reunion is always welcome.

Or else, he could turn his back straight away. Dean Ambrose takes out the referee and hits Seth Rollins with a Dirty Deeds. The Modern-Day Maharaja seizes the opportunity and picks up the win.

Explanation? It is Dean who requires a heel turn right now. With a plethora of baby-faces like Finn Balor, Braun Strowman, and Bobby Lashley, a face run wouldn't lead him anywhere.

#2 Jason Jordan helps/causes Seth Rollins to win/lose

Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins have a bitter-sweet relationship now

Another surprise name that can execute the previously mentioned finish is Jason Jordan. The kayfabe illegitimate son of Kurt Angle isn't in good terms with Seth Rollins after their tag team title loss to The Bar.

To settle the matter between them, he helps Seth Rollins pick up the win. As mentioned previously, Seth Rollins doesn't require anyone's help in retaining the championship. Jason Jordan helping him might put him in his bad books than in the good ones.

Or else, he wants his name to be inscribed so badly in the bad books that he causes a distraction allowing Jinder Mahal to pick up the victory.

Costing Seth Rollins the Intercontinental Championship is a great way to become one of the most hated heels in the WWE.

#1 Seth Rollins wins clean

Seth Rollins curb stomps his way towards victory

Seth Rollins needs a victory to maintain his image as a "workhorse champion". This simple fact outweighs the other finishes and makes it to the top of the list.

It has been hardly two months since he became the Intercontinental Champion. Losing the title so quickly will hurt his credibility a lot. Even if he wins in a sloppy manner, it would only undermine his value. It won't push Jinder, it will only bury Seth Rollins.

Moreover, there are numerous rumors surrounding Seth Rollins as the one to dethrone Brock Lesnar. Well, if WWE is moving in that direction, they would need to book him strongly.

Sorry, Jinder! But, you are just a stepping stone in his path.
