10 wrestlers with fake hometowns

#4 Jinder Mahal - Punjab, India, originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Jinder Mahal

A much more powerfully built Jinder Mahal made his return to the WWE in 2017, and managed to climb the mountain to the highest peak, winning the Smackdown championship from Randy Orton.

The Modern Day Maharaja is of Indian descent, but he was born in Canada and has Canadian citizenship. Still, it's not distasteful for him to be billed from Punjab when it's actually his heritage -- unlike Akeem the African Dream.

Jinder is still at the top of the card and recently challenged AJ Styles for the Smackdown championship.
