#3 Jinder Mahal

The most recent world champion on this list is Jinder Mahal. The Modern Day Maharaja became the WWE Champion in 2017 as he defeated Randy Orton at Backlash to secure a major upset win.
To this point it remains quite a mystery on what were WWE's actual plans for Mahal because looking at his stint as the WWE champion, it amuses us the WWE Universe to a great extent.
Mahal was part of the faction named 3MB and if someone had to put their money on Mahal being the WWE champion in future then there would have been many raised hands.
With the amount of talent in the Smackdown locker room, it remained confusing as to why did Mahal receive such a major push. The Modern Day maharaja worked impressively on his physique and does deserve to go up the ladder but putting him directly in the main-event picture wasn't wise.
