#5 Jinder Mahal
A new and improved Jinder Mahal conquered the blue brand by capturing the WWE Championship.The ease with which he defeated the likes of Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton was certainly disturbing to watch as a wrestling fan. Jinder Mahal is a great heel for sure, but he lacks the in-ring skills which a Smackdown champion must possess.
Jinder Mahal's dominant run as the WWE champ almost ruined Smackdown. But Jinder Mahal's shocking rise to the top shows WWE's lack of interest in what their loyal fans want. It is no secret that the WWE is gung-ho about both India and Jinder Mahal. Thus, a Jinder Mahal victory at Royal Rumble will not shock many. But Mahal should not win the Rumble because he does not deserve it, at least not yet.
