Jinder Mahal has managed to become a highly polarizing figure among wrestling fans. His main event push and World Title reign were both issues that led to immense and passionate debate among wrestling fans.

His supporters argue that he’s a fresh face in the title picture that had been previously dominated by a select few and that his presence therein adds some much-needed diversity to it. These same people also argue that he looks like a top star and he will be necessary to WWE in the future as the company seeks to expand into international markets, especially in India.

His detractors, on the other hand, argue that Mahal is a major step down in terms of every asset other than his physique. His promo skills are said to be subpar, his charisma is believed to be virtually nonexistent, and his wrestling skills are said to be far less-developed than those of other, more established stars.

Whatever your opinion on Mahal, one cannot deny that these discussions over Mahal, his fans wanting to see him succeed, and his detractors wanting to see him lose, have led to greater interest in SmackDown.
