#6 Jinder Mahal
2017 will forever be the year of The Modern Day Maharaja. Jinder Mahal rose from virtual obscurity, to become WWE Champion. After years of being mocked and ridiculed, Jinder finally claimed his seat at the head of the table as WWE's top guy, the WWE Champion.
Jinder Mahal is a self-made WWE Superstar. No one could've ever predicted the type of year he would have. However, despite the massive success Jinder enjoyed, he still has his critics who continue to doubt his legitimacy as a top-tier star.
Moving forward as a former WWE Champion, Jinder needs to start the New Year off with a bang if he intends on piggy-backing off of his 2017 accolades. Can he duplicate this past year? If so, he would surely benefit from being the last man standing in January's Royal Rumble match.
