Current Finisher: Khallas. A glorified Full-Nelson Slam.

Why It Needs Changed: Because it's a glorified Full-Nelson Slam, and it looks more like a template Create-A-Finisher in WWE 2K19 than a fully-fledged match-winner.

Much like many of the other moves on this list, Jinder Mahal's main move isn't visceral enough to justify how it's presented. During his lengthy WWE Title run, it was treated by announcers as one babyfaces were running scared of. How can that be true when so many wrestlers have used it as a transitional spot over the years?

Being brutally honest, it's a better choice than saddling Jinder with a stereotypical hold like the Camel Clutch as his finisher (Rusev does a variation of that anyway), but it's not dangerous enough. Indeed, victims often hit the mat like it's a cushion, rather than spinning wildly out of control and landing with a meaty thump.

Back to the drawing board for the 'Modern-Day Maharaja'.
