Jinder Mahal deserves a lot of praise for whipping himself into excellent physical shape and completely turning his WWE career around. Almost overnight, Mahal went from enhancement talent to WWE Champion, and he's still champ today. That doesn't excuse 2K for giving him a rating of 88 though.

We understand that WWE 2K18 exists in WWE's own kayfabe world, and that's fine. It is a little insulting to see Mahal equal Samoa Joe's rating and sit just 2 points behind AJ Styles however. Both those men are world-class in-ring performers. Jinder isn't, and whilst he should be higher than usual due to his championship status, he shouldn't be anywhere near those guys.

Baron Corbin must be wondering what happened to his career too, because he's 4 points worse off (84) than Mahal. The same goes for Rusev and Sami Zayn. Although the latter pair can be somewhat explained by what's happening on TV, Mahal's rating still feels a bit large.
