Jinder Mahal's WWE Title win over Randy Orton at Backlash this past May came as a complete surprise to even the most hardcore of fans. After all, Jinder had been used as lowly enhancement talent since returning to WWE last Summer. He was there to make others look good, not win the top titles.

Already, the wrestling world is abuzz with debate over who would be the best choice to eventually beat Mahal and become the new champion.

WhatCulture's own Jack The Jobber gave his personal take on the situation over on the WhatCulture WWE YouTube channel, and the friendly, beanie-wearing little beggar had some interesting ideas about who should be WWE Champ next.

Names such as John Cena and AJ Styles are included, along with Randy Orton (who has another title shot in a Punjabi Prison match against Jinder at Battleground) and Baron Corbin (the current holder of the Money In The Bank briefcase).

That's not all though, there are some surprise choices in there from our Jack. The question is: who do you think is perfectly poised to challenge Jinder Mahal for the WWE Title, beat 'The Modern Day Maharaja' and become the new champion?

Once again, it's not Jack, but who could it be?
