What's the story?
Many people in the WWE Universe think Jinder Mahal is a little stiff and wooden in the ring and lacks the necessary charisma and personality to be a top guy in the WWE, but Jinder Mahal has never been more wooden and stiff and lacking in charisma than he was when he received a Styles Clash from AJ Styles at a recent house show.
In case you didn't know...
AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal have been involved in a feud over the WWE Title with Styles winning the title off of Jinder Mahal at a SmackDown show in the UK, and Mahal cashing in his rematch clause for the upcoming SmackDown pay-per-view Clash of Champions.
In recent weeks, Jinder Mahal has been trying to use his lackeys The Singh Brothers to get one over the current WWE Title holder, but Styles has managed to remain one step ahead causing Mahal to turn on his henchmen and attack them in the ring.
The heart of the matter
It's unclear what happened to Cardboard Jinder Mahal in the build-up to the brutal Styles Clash, but as you can see in the video, AJ Styles only hits his patented finishing move onto Cardboard Jinder's head, so it appears he's been decapitated during the match.
For those of you wondering why I keep referring to Jinder Mahal as Cardboard Jinder Mahal, it's because the video above is actually of AJ Styles hitting the Styles Clash on a cardboard cut-out of Jinder Mahal from the crowd and not the real Jinder Mahal. I know it's hard to tell the difference so I just wanted to make that clarification.
What's next?
Jinder Mahal, the real one, not the decapitated cardboard cut-out, will get a chance to regain his WWE Title at Clash of Champions when he goes face to face with AJ Styles for the first time without the Singh Brothers to help him.
Author's take
It's good to see AJ Styles goofing off a little bit at a house show, and it's also good to see that villain Jinder Mahal get a Styles Clash for his troubles, even If it is just a cardboard cut-out of him and not the real thing.
