5 Reasons why Jinder Mahal becoming the number one contender is a mistake

Him? Really?

#1 He loses too much to be credible

Do you know how long since Jinder Mahal has had a victory on a major WWE show like Raw, Smackdown or pay-per-view?

If your answer was September 12, 2016, when he beat Jack Swagger on Raw, then you likely cheated and looked the answer up. Mahal also beat Heath Slater on his re-debut on August 1, 2016, on Raw as well.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

That is literally it. He has won two singles matches in eight months on the roster since the brand split and his most recent return. That is a crazy stat and doesn’t scream credible challenger to me or most of the WWE fanbase.

The WWE surely lacks credible heels. If Jinder had built his way up like The Miz or Braun Strowman have over the recent months, it would have been met with a better reaction from fans. But to have a guy lose hundreds of matches over his career in the WWE and simply get a title shot with his first singles victory in seven months?

That is not a way for fans to buy into the process of creating your new heel.
