6 Wrestlers Who Suffered Most From WWE Royal Rumble 2018

6. Jinder Mahal

If you like it when comedy and wrestling come together in a delightful blend of slapstick silliness and rubbish acting, then you would have enjoyed Sunday's annual Kofi Kingston spot, in which the former Jamaican Sensation rested his foot on a plate of pancakes to keep his WrestleMania dream alive.

That said, going from wearing the WWE Championship for six months to being on the receiving end of a practical joke - New Day would later dump the pancakes over Jinder's head, for a laugh - is a little bit of a climb-down, regardless of whether you scored two eliminations or not.

If this - playing a goofy, blustering lower mid-carder - is the role in which WWE sees the Modern Day Maharaja going forward then you can't really say anything other than: fair enough. It's not like too many fans were pleased about his sudden ascent up the card last year anyway.

But if this is the case, why even bother making him such a prominent part of SmackDown's main event scene last year? It's as though all of that counted for nothing, which doesn't do too many favours for the credibility of the WWE Title, nevermind Jinder himself.
