This would be a rather controversial one to have here, as Jinder Mahal does not have too many hardcore fans, but on a career highlight level, you could argue that he should be featured on the number one spot on this list.

Jinder Mahal was drafted from RAW to SmackDown in the 2017 Superstar Shakeup, and it was the best thing to ever happen in his career. After a few weeks of maintaining his jobber role, Mahal would surprisingly win a Six-Pack Challenge match to become number one contender to the WWE Championship, and even more surprisingly, would actually defeat Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at Backlash a few weeks later.

Jinder Mahal would be WWE Champion for 170 days, having successful Championship matches with Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura along the way, before finally losing the title to AJ Styles on SmackDown in Manchester that November. Following his loss, Jinder would remain in the spotlight and would become the WWE United States Champion at WrestleMania 34, before being drafted back to RAW on the post-WrestleMania Superstar Shakeup.

His career has taken a bit of a downward spiral since he returned to RAW. He lost his newly won United States Championship to Jeff Hardy during his first match back and ever since, has returned to his previous Man of Peace character, trying to get everyone to meditate along with him. I'm not saying I want Jinder to be WWE Champion today, but his run on RAW has been horrendous compared to SmackDown.
