The Modern-Day Maharajah had a stellar 2017, capturing the Smackdown championship and gaining wins over legends like Randy Orton.

With that kind of experience under his belt, there may be no stopping him in 2018.
Chances of ruling 2018:
Pretty darn good. Most likely, his title reign was ended so there could be a babyface to fight Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. He seems to be starting a feud with AJ over the belt he lost. Jinder might be the face of Smackdown's half of Wrestlemania this year.
