10 Worst WWE Transformations In Recent Memory

10. Jinder Mahal

If ever there was a situation of a particular talent shamelessly benefiting from a bad idea, Jinder Mahal becoming WWE Champion in the aftermath of WrestleMania 33, would have to near top the list.

The Modern Day Maharaja found himself as the luckiest man in WWE in 2017, through no fault of his own, when he was essentially handed the WWE Championship by management in a failed expedition to capture the burgeoning Indian market. Unfortunately for both Mahal and the company, their ambitions were doomed from the beginning, as no fan on Earth believed Jinder to be a capable top guy.

As a booking direction, the decision to crucify SmackDown’s main event for a six-month stretch whilst Jinder reigned atop the brand proved disastrous, and it was in no way a successful plight. Transforming the Canadian-born Indian out of jobber purgatory had the potential to be an effective move, but Jinder wasn't ready for such a giant leap.

His current place as a lumbering midcard heel backed by two heavies is a perfect role for Jinder, and one that he is far more suited for. Hopefully WWE never regain the temptation to initiate round two of Mahal as company champion.
