Whether you love him or hate him, it's rapidly approaching the point where you have to respect him. Earlier this year, Jinder Mahal won the WWE Championship and on top of that, he has now held the title for longer than Roman Reigns and Ric Flair ever have.

Before his latest run, Jinder was effectively a nobody in WWE. Previously, he was remembered for being 1/3rd of the comedy trio 3MB along with Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre. That's not what he'll be remembered for any longer.

Jinder has risen to the very top of the company in quick fashion. One week he was losing short matches on SmackDown Live, the next he was the number one contender to the WWE Championship. Mahal should act as an example to all Superstars in WWE right now that no matter where you are on the card you never know where you might end up a month or so from now.
