#1 Is ready to get pushed by Vince McMahon: Jinder Mahal

In 2017, Vince McMahon decided to give Jinder Mahal the most unexpected push of his career. Tapping into the potential Indian market, Vince McMahon needed an Indian star, and The Modern Day Maharaja was chosen for that spot.

The big problem with it was that Vince McMahon rushed Mahal's push. Rather than gradually building him over the course of a year or more, he decided that Jinder Mahal could go from enhancement talent to a title contender in one week.

This led to Mahal's shocking WWE Championship victory, and 2017 saw him enjoy a half-year-long reign as the World Champion on SmackDown. After that, Vince McMahon abruptly canceled his push, giving him an eight-day United States Championship reign in 2018.

Mahal's run would be underwhelming following that, and from 2019 to 2021, he would suffer back-to-back injuries that kept him out for nearly the whole time. Jinder Mahal returned this year but was abruptly taken off TV.

Vince McMahon should start gradually pushing Jinder Mahal into non-title feuds with high stakes - such as the one against Drew McIntyre.
