#1. Jinder Mahal - Time for another good run after 2 bad years in WWE?
Jinder Mahal has had bad luck in WWE since 2019. Back-to-back injuries meant he was out for almost two entire years, with two surgeries. He returned to the promotion in 2021 looking in good shape as usual.
Mahal's peak year was 2017, where he unexpectedly emerged from enhancement talent and became the WWE Champion. While the move was a strategy by WWE to enter the Indian market, it didn't go as well as hoped.

For one, fans worldwide found it hard to take Jinder Mahal as a serious WWE Champion. It wasn't his fault at all. Rather than taking the long route of establishing him by organically climbing up the card, the company decided that the best route was to make him jump into WWE title contention within a week of losing to Mojo Rawley.
Mahal presented himself as a legitimate WWE Champion and looked the part. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't ready. He seemed to be on the verge of an organic push towards a feud against Drew McIntyre in 2020, but an injury proved to be another big setback for The Modern Day Maharaja.
Jinder Mahal hasn't been utilized since his return to WWE, but that could change. Hopefully, an organic push could see him reach his actual potential.
