Predicting the 2018 Royal Rumble card

Brace yourselves - there's about to be a Rumble.

Match #2: Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal (US Championship)

Roode has ye
Bobby Roode has yet to face Jinder Mahal in one-on-one action

Though the US Championship Tournament is not yet over, I predict that this will be the final match. Bobby Roode will defeat Mojo Rawley, while Jinder Mahal will defeat Xavier Woods. I could've had Rawley vs. Woods for this, but frankly, I just don't see it over this one.

Anyhow, this match goes just about how any other Jinder Mahal match goes - a slow, plodding affair marked by nonstop rest holds. Naturally, the fans start to get behind Roode; not only because Mahal is the heel, but because they want someone to pick up the pace a little bit.

So he finally does and, despite distractions from the Singh Brothers, he's able to pick up the win and the U.S. Title, finally putting an end to the failed Jinder Mahal experiment. However, just as he's celebrating...out comes Dolph Ziggler.

Ziggler lays him out and holds the United States Championship over his head, saying something along the lines of "this is my championship!" Of course, somehow Baron Corbin will try to throw himself into the mix here, seeing as he never received his contractually obligated rematch for the championship.

Another triple threat at Fastlane? Ziggler vs. Corbin for the undisputed #1 contendership? We'll have to wait and see.

Winner: Bobby Roode
