5 reasons why Jinder Mahal is the best WrestleMania opponent for John Cena

#1 Cena may kill Jinder in promos before their match

John Cena cuts down Roman Reigns

In his two most recent big rivalries (The Miz and Roman Reigns), John Cena has brought out a “shoot-style” type of promo that is meant to tear down the fourth wall and sound unscripted. It’s supposed to pander to the people who think Cena sucks, but think his opponents suck too. He’s been using it to a great reaction, and although the critical reviews are mixed, it has worked to make people want to tune in and see what Cena is going to say next.

He tore apart Miz and Reigns and brought up real-life occurrences to attack them, and while I didn’t personally find it entertaining or fun to watch (or clever, or shocking, or whatever the intention was), it would probably be great fun to watch him do it to Jinder. The Miz is able to hold his own in a back-and-forth argument on the microphone in the ring. Roman Reigns tried really hard and didn’t do great, but it was okay enough. Jinder… well, Jinder won’t stand a chance.

It’s a shame because I like Jinder Mahal and I would like to see him succeed, but getting to watch John Cena completely tear into him by attacking him with everything that the internet fans have been saying about him since he won a shot at the WWE Championship instead of Sami Zayn would be a great deal of fun to behold. And Jinder won’t have a chance to fight back. He’s good in solo promos, but he would be K-O’d in the first round trying to go back-and-forth with John Cena. And THAT would be entertaining television.
