#4 Jinder Mahal must win the United States title

WrestleMania 34, Jinder Mahal,
Is Jinder Mahal WWE's best option for United States Champion at WrestleMania 34?

You know it's a poorly put together storyline when Jinder Mahal is the most entertaining part of the whole thing. Unfortunately for the WWE, who seemed hell-bent on pushing Bobby Roode as the next big mid-carder on Smackdown Live, fans haven't really been getting behind him as much as the company would have hoped.

With that being said, and Jinder Mahal and Rusev now being added to the match to create more excitement around the United States title picture, it should come as no surprise that Mahal would probably be WWE's best case scenario here. Of course, they could go with Rusev, who is immensely popular with fans right now, but it wouldn't make much sense.

Think about it! If Rusev were to defeat Randy Orton, Bobby Roode and Jinder Mahal for the title, he would arguably just be in the same place he was in three years ago when he debuted on the main roster.

Sure, the gimmick would be a little different and he would be a babyface this time, but how long is that really going to last before getting boring.

Again, it doesn't mean that the gimmick won't draw in fans, but it is pretty obvious that WWE would be able to get a lot more mileage out of a heel United States champion gimmick. WWE could even set up Jinder Mahal versus John Cena for the title later on, which would be pretty great to see given the circumstances.
