#5 Jinder Mahal's title win and subsequent reign
In 2017, WWE looked to expand it's dominion in India as it was a huge market. They figured that if they could push an Indian Superstar to the top, he would garner some home-crowd loyalty. Then, some idiot decided they should push Jinder Mahal (who is not even Indian).

When he debuted in 2011, Mahal served as a crony to The Great Khali. Soon, he split from him and started his career as a jobber. He was a part of the disastrous group that was the 3MB and was soon released. But as soon as he got jacked up, he was re-hired and was given a WWE Championship title bout. At Backlash 2017, Mahal faced Orton for the championship and surprisingly won. Then, he began his cataclysmic title run.

Mahal was undoubtedly green in the ring and on the microphone. He was pushed to the main event scene even when it was evident that he wasn't ready for the top spot. His title reign was so bad that WWE's ratings fell to an all-time low, thus proving his title win to be one of the biggest booking mistakes.
