5 best opponents for Jinder Mahal before Royal Rumble

#2 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn vs Jinder Mahal could be a great heel vs heel feud later this year

Ah, "The Underdog from the Underground"! Sami Zayn’s NXT momentum somewhat dissipated after his main roster stint on the blue brand.

Nevertheless, as the old adage goes -- desperate times call for desperate measures -- and rightly so, the powers-that-be chose to book Zayn as a heel, turning on Shane McMahon, and allying with longtime frenemy Kevin Owens.

Although Zayn’s job in the weeks to come likely revolves around KO, he can indeed serve as Jinder Mahal’s final feud before the latter loses the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble.

Sami may not excel on the mic, however, when it comes to pure wrestling. he is an enigma. The Maharajah vs The Underdog would undoubtedly give the WWE Universe a healthy dose of action-packed nights in the lead-up to the Rumble.
