This is the exception on this list. And by exception, we mean to say that he proved McMahon wrong in the wrong way. One fine day after WrestleMania, McMahon decided that he needed to capitalize on the great potential of the Indian market, and as a result, needed a top Indian superstar.

He turned to Canadian-Indian star Jinder Mahal. There was just one problem - he was the lowest on the pecking order, always losing matches. However, without any build whatsoever, he was pushed to the moon, given a WWE title opportunity against Randy Orton, became WWE Champion and remained so until late 2017.

It was a decision that fans didn't really understand, and despite all the faith and investment that McMahon put into Mahal, it really didn't pay off as he would have hoped. Not long after WrestleMania 34, Mahal was drafted back to RAW and went back to his low-card position, losing matches over and over.
