5 things to learn from the failed 'Jinder Mahal experiment'

#2 India is a hard market to sell

Jinder's title reign did nothing to help WWE network in India

WWE learnt this one the hard way. They put the strap on an Indian (as per their logic) to attract Indian customers. However, if the numbers are to be believed, WWE didn't do well in India by having Jinder as the champion. There wasn't any meteoric rise in the WWE network subscription as they might have expected and neither did the WWE shop do great business.

Moreover, the WWE tour of India in December had to be cut down to just one instead of two dates. Jinder did headline the show but in a losing effort against Triple H. Perhaps this is one of the facts that WWE has actually learnt and I am sure they must be looking at alternative strategies to win over the Indian fans.

WWE definitely has long-term plans for India as Indians form a huge part of its massive social media following. Sadly, Jinder is no longer a part of those plans.
