8 Major Problems With Brock Lesnar Vs. Jinder Mahal

4. Jinder Is Working Hurt

If various news sources are to be believed, Jinder Mahal has been working with an injured shoulder for some time. This has led to the 'Modern Day Maharaja' looking noticeably smaller in the ring, although he is still an immensely large human being. Still, evidence suggests that the WWE Champion isn’t at 100%.

Where is the logic then in pitting him against Brock Lesnar? Granted, Brock is an experienced professional wrestler who is no longer the reckless youth he once was. The flip-side of this is that 80% of Brock’s offence now involves his victim landing on their upper back and shoulders. Jinder will inevitably take plenty of German Suplexes during the match, all of which will leave his struggling shoulder exposed.

If Jinder Mahal is working injured, then putting him against the company’s most physically intense and imposing performer is practically sabotage. The Singh Brothers better limber up, because one assumes they will be doing most of the grunt work in this match.
