10 Last-Minute WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Predictions You Need To Know

7. Large Mahal

Jinxed Mahal
WWE

Whisper it, but Jinder Mahal isn't the worst thing on WWE television in 2018. His entire career has become the lesser of two evils - the other being him ever being anywhere near the WWE Championship ever again.

As a result, his United States Title win at WrestleMania wasn't the whopping great kidney punch most suffered the last time he scooped a title. Nor too were his largely pleasing losing efforts against Jeff Hardy and Chad Gable since migrating to Monday Nights. Regretably,

Greatest Royal Rumble may possibly be return to Mahal's darkest days last year - marginalised race baiting for cheap heat and even cheaper wins. The only concern is if WWE will employ the dirty tricks to make him a heel or a babyface. The necessary added component for all the jingoism will be Jeff Hardy's trusty new title. He'll probably only have it taken for a week or so, but it'll yet again be right place right time for the 'Modern Day Maharaja'.
