5 wrestlers that were pushed by WWE but ultimately failed

#5 Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal did the whole 9 yards to come back into WWE but he just fell short in the ring

Jinder Mahal was almost thrown into oblivion after his first stint with WWE, but to his credit Jinder slowly but steadily clawed his way back with one of the most impressive physical transformations in recent times.

Jinder possessed (and still does) one of the most ripped physiques in WWE, which caught everyone's attention and he started looking the part. With WWE expanding into the Indian market, the management saw an opportunity of having an Indian champion while touring India.

With that in mind, Jinder was pushed as a heel and he ended up winning the title against Randy Orton. Jinder's reign lasted 170 days but during that time Jinder just looked out of place and was not accepted at all by the viewers.

He just didn't have the in-ring prowess or the persona and never looked the part. The stint was so underwhelming that even before the Indian event, Jinder lost the title to AJ Styles, and WWE went to India without him as the champion. Ever since then Jinder has again fallen in the pecking order and is back to his jobbing duties of old.
