5 WWE superstars who have exceeded expectations in 2017

#1 Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal won the WWE Championship belt from Randy Orton

If anyone had told me during Wrestlemania 33 that the next WWE Champion after Randy Orton was going to be Jinder Mahal, I would have laughed them out of the building, the neighbourhood, the city, the state, the country, and the entire planet. And yet, here we are.

After being drafted over the Smackdown Live during the WWE Superstar Shakeup, Jinder not only became the new No. 1 Contender for the WWE Championship, he beat "The Viper" to pick up "The Biggest Prize in Sports Entertainment".

Now, say what you will about the reasons why Jinder was given this monster push, there is no escaping the fact that there is nobody else in the entire world of professional wrestling who has exceeded expectations quite like Jinder Mahal.
