Looks like WWE never learnt a lesson from the fan backlash Roman Reigns received after he was sky rocketed to the main event. The fans were agitated as he wasn't the best wrestler in The Shield, yet he was treated as the chosen one post their breakup.

WWE repeated the same mistake with Jinder Mahal. Prior to becoming the number one contender for the WWE Championship and winning it, he was losing almost all the matches on RAW and had a dull program with Mojo Rawley. His sudden push to the moon was bound to agitate the fans and it did.

Fans invest into a character when it is developed over time. Winning some and losing some with display of skill and charisma is the way to establish oneself and win the respect of fans. If we look at two of the most popular superstars of the modern era, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, both men rose through the ranks to reach the main event. Heck, even the Rock was booed to death when he was given a gigantic push early in his career. Poor Jinder!
