#1 Jinder Mahal becomes WWE Champion
Was there any doubt about this one? Back in April, Jinder Mahal was the last one eliminated in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and that was perceived as a surprise. Up to this point, he had been nothing more than a jobber throughout most of his WWE career.
When there was a six-pack challenge announced on Smackdown to become #1 contender, fans were baffled that Mahal was even in the match. When Mahal won, the fans were even more baffled.
After all of that, when Mahal actually won the WWE Title, nobody could believe it. In under three months, Mahal went from jobber to WWE Champion. He would end up holding the title for almost six months. When pegging other stars as potential World Champions, Mahal will forever give the "anything is possible" vibe.
