5 reasons why AJ Styles should beat Jinder Mahal in the WWE Championship bout

#4 Jinder Mahal on team SmackDown

The entire country of India will be backing SmackDown with the Modern day Maharaja on the team

As the current WWE Champion Jinder Mahal is on a collision course with RAW's Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is a legitimate fighting machine, and there is no reason to believe Mahal poses the slightest threat to the "Beast Incarnate".

Lesnar has defeated Samoa Joe in 6:27 minutes at WWE Great Balls of Fire and defeated Braun Strowman in 8:52 minutes. Both Joe and Strowman are far superior to Mahal and are much more credible threats to the Beast's throne. Every minute Mahal lasts in the ring with Lesnar is a slap in the face to Joe and Strowman.

Rather than taking on the champion of Monday Nights, Mahal should represent SmackDown in the 5-on-5 men's elimination tag team match. Mahal is far better suited for the tag team scene than a full-on match with one of the most dangerous men in WWE history. The team is not complete yet as Styles was supposed to compete in a qualifying match to fill the fifth spot, if Mahal is no longer the champ then it is easy to see him filling the void.
