5 Jobbers you would rather see as Champion than Jinder Mahal 

4. Luke Harper

So close yet so far.

Not so long ago, Luke Harper was on the very cusp of being granted a WWE Championship opportunity. During Bray Wyatt's title reign leading up to Wrestlemania 33, Harper looked set to face his former leader for the belt, maybe even at Wrestlemania itself. Instead, that honour was given to Randy Orton, but fans certainly did show some enthusiasm at the idea of it being Harper.

Since then, he has all but fallen out of grace with the WWE. There's a pretty good chance that he might be returning to the Smackdown tag-team division with Eric Rowan, but this is nothing we haven't seen before. Harper's descent down the card is baffling, considering there was no good reason to take his momentum away from him in the first place.

Initially seen as the least exciting member of the Wyatt family, Harper worked hard on his in-ring and mic skills throughout much of 2013/14. He even had a great series of matches with Dolph Ziggler for the IC Championship. When he finally turned face and left the Wyatt family for good, people backed him and wanted to see his new found freedom turn into something.

The only thing Harper would still have to work on in order to be a good WWE Champion is his mic skills. He can definitely go in the ring, and actually has a very impressive style considering his size. He has the ability to connect with the audience given the right storyline, so he already has two things on Jinder Mahal.

Harper is one of those characters that doesn't need to do a lot of talking. If you turned him heel and had him run as a monster champion, you would be able to tell a pretty decent story involving him and a younger, fresher baby face who would eventually wrestle the title away from him. The problem with Jinder at the moment is that nobody really hates or cares about him enough to see him lose. Harper could potentially solve that problem.
