#3 Jinder Mahal
Jinder Mahal’s career trajectory through WWE is nothing if not abnormal. After a lacklustre run as a lower mid-card talent, WWE released him. When he came back, he looked like a million bucks but didn’t exactly get a push up the card until the powers that be positioned him to win a number one contender's battle royal. From there hew as a surprise presence in the WWE Championship picture and, against the odds, he unseated Randy Orton for the strap.\
As a result of Mahal’s progression, from a guy who wouldn’t be taken seriously as a Money in the Bank contender to a guy successfully defending the title when the next iteration of the match came up in 2017, he skipped over the point when he would have been a natural fit for the match. If he remains in the upper card for the years ahead, however, Mahal is likely to fill in this blank on his resume.
